Possible:mp3 To Midi

Yes it is possible to get Mp3 converted into midi. I read a post saying it never will be possible... That in fact is not true. I use this program named Widi. It is an excellent converter. Just go to Hidden Content and download it from there. Enjoy! Hidden Content

...Hidden Content .. you're either delusional or deaf (no offense inrended) if you think that the resulting file is "excellent" for a typical rock/pop/rap song... If I'm mistaken PLEASE post a file or two ans prove me wrong! (otherwise your post was just an advertisement - new user, one post, and will be deletedHidden Content )

Jeanie, I was as skeptic as you, but surprisingly, the thing ain't bad. I think it somehow transcribes it to sheet music by picking out the recognizable notes, and then layers them all as Piano tracks.. if you're looking for this thing to put out Verizon-worthy stuff, you'll be disappointed. But like I said, it's surprisingly not bad, and it could be a step in the right direction for direct transfer in the future -- exciting! I've included Fall Out Boy's '..Sixteen Candles' and Eric Clapton's 'Classical Gas' (each the allowed 10sec sample) for you to check out for yourself.

This is a good program believe it or not. Try it out for yourselves. Along with that program you can change the instruments in the midi produced by using Anvil Studio. (Hidden Content ) Ive been making all my ringtones using those two programs and they come out EXCELLENT!!! Yes the impossible has now been proven to be possible. Hopefully this can help all of you looking for programs out there.

and by the way, I may be a newbie but Im not an advertisement. Im just tryin to put out there what works to help everyone out.

As for posting a file, thx vballr. I dont know how to attach stuff yet cuz Im not on these forums all that much. But see it does work for all you unbelievers.

Sorry Gentlemen.... that is exactly what I expected... I'm still going with "impossible" ...it would take me longer to clean up that file in cakewalk than it would for me to sequence the same thing

i have to agree. still impossible. or i should say, not up to my liking. although i am extremely picky about the sound of midi's used as ringtones.

Ok, so what im hearing is that you can sucessfully convert any mp3 tone to a MIDI tone? Can somebody convert the file types? Technically, yes you can. Will the MIDI tone sound the mp3 tone? Not really. IMO, it's not worth it.

Heres what the website you provided said:

Backward conversion from MP3 to MIDI or from Wave file to MIDI is much more complex and usually requires work of a professional musician listening to a record and selecting notes. This work is complicated and diligent.

If you think you're a professional musician and think you can do it, go right ahead and try. All of us here would like to see what you come out with.

Compare these 2 tracks. the first is the original mp3 tone. Both tracks are 10 seconds long. If you think that its worth it ... good for you. Just compare these and see for yourselves.

In the end, I am going to have to stick to what Ive said plenty of times and what jeaniesing said:

Well, GBaby, I wouldn't agree with you that it's "possible" yet.. it's definitely not perfect. Those two files I posted sound vaguely like their counterparts, and are definitely better suited by a sequencer. And Jeanie, I also agree with you that it would sound better/take the same time by sequencing, but I think it's kind of impressive how it separated the bass and guitar lines in the Fall Out Boy song (not sure if you're familiar with the original song, but..) Don't you at least agree it could be a step in the right direction for the future of conversion?

it is a step in the right direction, but many of the members on here are looking for a program to convert the mp3 or wav file to a MIDI file and have it sound nearly exactly the same. If that happens, great!

Im with the "it cant be done properly yet" people, software like that attempts to do it but not successfully.

Well I had mentioned above that if you use widi and anvil studio a good midi can be produced. Some people are lazy right now and want something extremely direct. Do the extra work and you can make something worth listening to. Ive used these two programs together to create masterpiece after masterpiece. Widi alone might not please you, but stop being lazy and use another program such as anvil studio with it, and you can finally create the possible your looking for.

(On a side note, anvil studio is a program that can change instruments on the midi track and change the tempo of the song. It also can cut parts out of midis, if they are not to your taste. Give it a try)

but, if I'm using Anvil anyway, I can use it to sequence the whole puppy in the same amount of time? I guess it is helpful for those who don't want to listen and pick out a coupla notes - but if you're editing from there, Gbaby, perhaps you oughtta try your hand at sequencing Hidden Content - you already have the software!

guess Im gona have to delete the other thread thats a sticky about this info. Since this is a step in the right direction i mean.

You're right in this comment gbaby. The other thread was made in response to this request because a large amount of members were creating new threads asking if it was possible to convert an MP3 tone to a MIDI tone, with it not losing any quality. If poeple want to use both programs or any other programs to create the midi from an mp3, go right ahead.

Most people, with a bit of practice and time can sequence thier own midi, and your much better off trying that than trying to convert audio files to midi, you will have more fun creating a midi and will have the skill in the future to sequence what ever you want.
