Has anyone compared various audio to MIDI converters? I tried a few online converters - one from spotify - not very good results. Claire suggested Melodyne - and I can do that - but it will cost me $150 USD. I’m wondering if there is a good converter for a better price.
Also, I guess there are various file formats. Midi, UST, etc. Do any render audio - vocals specifically - better?
Thanks in advance.
Vocal Modes are different variations of timbre each AI voice database can produce. For example “power”, “soft”, “clear”, etc.
There is no audio-to-SVP transcription. If you want to do something like this, use Melodyne or a similar program to generate a MIDI file from your recording.
Check the FAQ post and the Unofficial User Manual to get started:
I see you edited your question.
There are plenty of alternatives, Melodyne is just one that a lot of people already have and isn’t DAW-specific and it’s generally the highest quality option.
Some people will have Newtone, Flex Pitch, or some other DAW-specific option. A free alternative is Vocalshifter.
The other file formats that can be imported like UST or VSQ are project files for other vocal synths, not alternatives to MIDI.
Thanks for the suggestions Claire.
Yes, I thought I’d not spam the board with a bunch of new threads. I’m a very neat person.
Mixcraft is a DAW that has a free version and comes with an audio-to-MIDI capability. You’ll have to go through and clean up the MIDI because consonants can fool with the rhythms a bit, but it often beats having to input from scratch.
Thx for the suggestion Christian.
