Why WAV produces better MIDI results
WAV is a lossless, uncompressed audio format. Unlike MP3 which discards audio data it considers inaudible, a WAV file contains the full waveform. This gives the pitch detection algorithm a cleaner, more accurate signal — especially for notes with fast attacks or for separating closely pitched instruments.
If you have the choice between an MP3 and a WAV of the same recording, the WAV will generally transcribe to MIDI with better note accuracy and fewer artifacts.
Three conversion modes
- Full Mix (Mode A) — converts the whole audio to a single MIDI track. Best for monophonic recordings like a solo guitar, bass, or vocals.
- 2 Tracks (Mode B) — uses harmonic-percussive separation to split pitched notes from drum hits. Outputs separate melody and drum MIDI tracks.
- 4 Tracks (Mode C) — separates drums, bass, melody, and other into four individual MIDI tracks using spectral analysis.
