This is a real problem for musicians who primarily sing their ideas, but aren’t familiar with piano keyboards or complex music software. This is because live performances on real instruments are typically difficult for a computer to interpret: once a performance has been recorded, the individual notes that were played are tricky to separate and identify. Usually, musicians have to produce MIDI notes using some sort of computer interface, like a MIDI keyboard, or by typing the notes into their software by hand. While MIDI is used by nearly all modern musicians, creating compositions from scratch with MIDI can be a challenge. Did a note sound weird in that chord you played? Change it with a click. MIDI acts like sheet music for computers - it describes what notes are played and when - in a format that’s easy to edit.

Most of this computer-based music uses a digital standard called MIDI (pronounced “MID-ee”). Basic Pitch is not your average MIDI converterįor the past 40 years, musicians have been using computers to compose, produce, and perform music, everywhere from bedrooms to concert halls. It was built for artists and producers who want an easy way to turn their recorded ideas into MIDI, a standard for representing notes used in digital music production. Unlike similar ML models, Basic Pitch is not only versatile and accurate, but also fast and computationally lightweight. Drop a recording of almost any instrument, including your voice, then get back a MIDI version, just like that. Basic Pitch uses machine learning to transcribe the musical notes in a recording. However, all is not lost because I discovered what looks to be a very useful audio editor.Introducing Basic Pitch, Spotify’s free open source tool for converting audio into MIDI. I would expect a few errors, but not hundreds. So now I'm back to square one in looking for a way to generate a MIDI file from an audio file on Mac Sierra or iOS.The one I have sort of works but is completely terrible in the number of errors produced. I followed the instructions and everything went exactly as shown except at the end I got a message saying "cannot export audio in this format" or something like that. From that I hoped to use another program to print the score from the MIDI file. I saw instructions online describing how Audacity can export MIDI from an audio file. Looks like I'm another person coming here for the same reason.

Somebody posts a mistake and everybody picks it up and repeats it. Instructions like this never tell you which Audacity version they're using-or at least I didn't see it.

Is this export menu item a mistake? Is this an FFMpeg mismatch? I followed the instructions and I couldn't do it, either. That explains why people show up on the forum wanting to convert music to MIDI.
