Tip: Don’t forget that pops and clicks can also be manually removed with the Pencil
tool, if the Silencer doesn’t produce satisfactory results.
Converting Audio to MIDI: Using Audio to Score
This function transforms a monophonic audio recording into musical notation, by
creating a MIDI region that corresponds to the recorded melody. This allows you to play
a MIDI sound module in unison with an audio recording or—transposed—as a second
voice.
Note: This function is best-suited to producing melody notes from a clearly sung non-
legato vocal line. It works best on unprocessed (no effects) audio.
To open and use the Audio to Score function:
1 Select the destination MIDI or software instrument track in the Arrange window.
The MIDI region generated by the Audio to Score function will be placed on this track.
2 In the Sample Editor, choose Factory > Audio to Score (or use the corresponding key
command).
3 Set the desired parameter values in the Audio to Score tab.
4 Click the Process button.
A Score Editor window, containing the transcription of the audio file, opens
automatically.
