WAV to MIDI
If you are starting from a WAV, you are starting from the best case. Nothing has been compressed away, so the detector sees the full picture. Upload the stem, check the notes, export the .mid.

Use cases
What players convert here
Stems back to MIDI
Bounce a single track out of your session and get the note data back when the MIDI is lost.
DI and reamp tracks
A clean DI is close to ideal input, since there is no room noise or bleed to fight.
Field recordings
Convert an interface or field capture of a single instrument into something you can edit.
After the AI draft

Converter notes
From source to editable tab
These notes are here for setup context. The main workflow starts above in the converter, then continues in the editor.
- Handles uncompressed WAV, including 24-bit DAW exports.
- Built for stems, DI tracks, and interface recordings.
- Exports .mid with tempo intact so it lines up on your DAW grid.
Steps
- 01Export the WAV from your DAW, ideally one instrument on its own.
- 02Upload it in the Audio tab and set the instrument and tuning.
- 03Run the conversion and review the notes in the editor.
- 04Correct anything that drifted, then export MIDI.
Source quality
- Isolated stems transcribe better than a stereo mixdown, even a well-mastered one.
- Leave the dynamics alone. Heavy limiting flattens the velocity information.
- Trim count-ins so bar one starts on the first real note.
- WAV files are large, so uploads take longer on a slow connection.
- A full-mix WAV is still a full mix. Lossless does not solve instrument separation.
- Conversion is built around sources up to 15 minutes.
