## Audio to convert to MIDI

Clear, single-line playing converts most faithfully, and these range from solo instruments to full arrangements.

### Two-Step Shuffle

135 BPM two-step, shuffled hats, clipped vocal chops and a rolling sub.

### Chicago Warehouse

Raw 122 BPM Chicago house, drum machine only, jack-track vocal loop and an acid tail.

### Orchestral Adventure

Sustained strings and brass over a slow build - long notes transcribe far more cleanly than fast runs.

## Audio to MIDI turns a recorded part back into notes

### A recorded part, turned back into notes

Pitches and their timing are read out of the audio and written as MIDI, so the instrument, the tuning and the groove all stay editable afterwards.

### When the recording is a full mix

Transcription reads a solo part best. A dense arrangement needs stem separation before it will transcribe cleanly.

## Turn a recorded part into editable notes in three steps

### Upload the recorded part

Solo instrument recordings transcribe most cleanly - piano, guitar or a single melodic line.

### Notes are transcribed

Pitches and their timing are read out of the audio and written as MIDI events.

### Open the MIDI in your DAW

Change the notes, swap the instrument, or quantize the timing - everything is editable once it is MIDI.

## Editable notes, not a rendering

### 1 MIDI file

Each run returns one file, with pitch and timing written from the audio.

### 0 instruments baked in

Assign your own after transcription.

### 6 upload formats

MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, FLAC and AAC, for the source recording.

### 1 melodic line

Transcribes most cleanly; dense mixes need separating first.

## Audio to MIDI features

Audio to MIDI transcribes a recording into note events in your browser. Preview the detected notes, download a MIDI file and review or correct the result in the MIDI editor.

### One MIDI file per run

Pitch and timing are written as editable MIDI notes. Choose a playback instrument in your editor or DAW after transcription.

### A single melodic line reads best

Solo piano, guitar or one voice transcribes most cleanly. A dense arrangement needs separating into stems first.

## Audio to MIDI FAQ

Answers for creators comparing recorded-note conversion, AI music generators, editing tools, and royalty-aware publishing workflows.

### What is Audio to MIDI?

Upload or record audio and convert melodies into downloadable MIDI with editor handoff. Use Audio to MIDI on Aimusicis to turn a played part into notes you can still edit.

### What transcribes most cleanly?

A single melodic instrument playing one note at a time - piano, guitar or a lead line. Chords and full mixes give the analyzer overlapping pitches to untangle.

### Why are some notes wrong or missing?

Quiet notes, heavy reverb and overlapping harmonies are the usual causes. The MIDI is editable precisely because transcription is a starting point rather than a finished score.

### Can I convert a full song?

You can, but expect a rough result. Separate the part you want with the stem splitter first and transcribe that instead.

### What are the Audio to MIDI limits and cost?

Audio to MIDI runs free in your browser, with no credits required. Choose a browser-decodable audio file up to 90 MB and 15 minutes long. Short isolated instrument recordings are faster to process; microphone access requires browser permission.

### Will it catch chords?

Polyphonic material is harder than a single line. A monophonic take - one voice, one melody - transcribes far more reliably than a strummed guitar.

### Do I have to clean up the result?

Usually a little. Expect stray short notes where the source had noise, which is a quick fix in any piano roll.

### Can I use the Audio to MIDI tool for commercial projects?

Aimusicis does not currently issue a commercial-use license or certificate. Download access is separate from usage rights; review the current Terms and confirm you hold the rights to every uploaded or referenced source before publishing.

### What should I do after using the Audio to MIDI tool?

Download the MIDI or open the built-in MIDI editor to preview it and adjust the notes. This conversion runs on your device and is not saved to My Music.

### How accurate is the transcription?

Sustained, single-line parts transcribe cleanly. Fast runs, dense chords and heavy reverb are where notes get missed or doubled - the output is a draft to edit in the piano roll, not a finished score.

### How many credits does Audio to MIDI use?

Audio to MIDI runs in the browser and draws zero credits.

## Turn a recording back into notes

Play it once, then edit the transcription instead of the audio.
