Re: convert .cda to .mid Posted by Henry (from: 209.102.67.117) on July 21, 2001 at 21:52:10: In Reply to: convert .cda to .mid posted by john nix on March 31, 2001 at 09:33:57: : Is there inexpensive software to do this? For a fuller explanation of my previous reply, see one of the earlier posts on this bulletin board, referring you to http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Wav2MID/ with the following info: "WAV2MID™ was created to cater for the music composer who likes to work with audio samples. Based on the audio recognition technology already available in Sound2MIDI™, WAV2MID™s' design makes it ideally suited for creating MIDI solos or effects which are derived from solo performances stored as audio data. The use of audio recognition technology in modern music making is so new that many musicians are unaware of its powerful capabilities. Like speech recognition, the technology is continually evolving and it will be some time yet before you can import a complex polyphonic signal and expect a multitrack MIDI file with instruments separated into different tracks. Yet its easy to forget that the majority of instruments play one note at any one time and chord based instruments such as the piano and guitar already have hardware MIDI solutions. Sure we recognize that it would be nice to extract specific parts from a multi instrumental audio CD and we are working on ways of achieving that! but Sound2MIDI™ Technology already provides musicians and composers with a powerful tool. WAV2MID™ harnesses Sound2MIDI™ Technology to give you more control on getting the desired effect from audio recognition. You can listen to both the audio and the MIDI results synchronized during playback adjusting volume and pan levels to suit the effect you are trying to achieve. You can import MIDI files created by WAV2MID™ into your sequencer with the correct tempo already set; no need for rescaling!; and with many sequencers now supporting audio tracks, use WAV2MID™ to create MIDI versions of your audio solos. Supports English, Italian and French languages." Also refers to http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/WaveGoodbye/ with the following info: "Wave Goodbye was designed for decoding music played on a single instrument but which may contain more than one note at a time, such as piano music. With a little experimentation on the parameter settings, and with a couple of caveats, it performs quite well. If you try to decode a full orchestral work you may get something recognisable out at the end after tweaking the parameter settings, but it will not be very good. If you stick to something simple, such as a piano piece you should get fairly good results" Follow Ups: Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: : : Is there inexpensive software to do this? : For a fuller explanation of my previous reply, see one of the earlier posts on this bulletin board, referring you to http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Wav2MID/ with the following info: "WAV2MID™ was created to cater for the music composer who likes to work with audio samples.
