Convert WAVE to
MIDI, MP3 to MIDI converter for live performance,
making multi-track MIDI files, transcribing music, and finding chord names
from multi-instrument WMA, WAVE, and MP3 files.
Several file formats exist for storing digital audio recordings.
The most commonly used are wave (.wav), MP3, and WMA.
Wave files contain raw audio data and can be quite large.
MP3 files used compression to reduce the size of the file
without noticeable degradation in sound quality.
WMA (Windows Media Audio), developed by Microsoft, is another
compression format. Audio CDs
also store audio recordings.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files are fundamentally different from audio files.
Audio files are the computer equivalent of recording tape and capture
all the elements of the original performance, including the singer’s
voice, percussion, and specific instruments.
MIDI files do not actually contain any sounds.
They merely specify what notes are to be played and when, at a
certain loudness level. The
sounds you hear when playing back a MIDI file are generated by your
computer’s sound card. Therefore, the same MIDI file will sound different
from one computer to another according to the sound card.
Also, MIDI files cannot recreate sung
or spoken words or non-musical sounds.
In
spite of these limitations, MIDI files have several
advantages over audio files. For
one thing, they are very compact, even smaller than MP3 and WMA files.
But most importantly, you can do things with
MIDI files that are impossible
with audio files. Using a MIDI notation program (such as
Anvil Studio which is included with intelliScore),
you can see the notes that are present in the music.
You can add, remove, and change individual musical notes.
You can change the instrument to use when playing the notes.
Therefore, MIDI files are useful for
transcribing and arranging music.
If you want to transcribe or arrange a recorded piece of music but do not have a MIDI file
for it, this is where intelliScore can help. IntelliScore
Ensemble is the only product in the world that can listen to a musical
audio file (CD, WAV, MP3, WMA) comprised of several different instruments
and convert it to a multiple track MIDI file containing the notes played, broken down by instrument.
The
process intelliScore uses to determine the notes played is extremely
complex, and although we continually improve upon it, is not yet completely
accurate. Therefore, you may
want to clean up the results using a MIDI editor such as Anvil
Studio. Nevertheless, often it
will save you time to use intelliScore to create an initial MIDI file
and clean up the results than to transcribe entirely by hand.
