How It Works
Getting started with audio to MIDI conversion in Ableton Live is straightforward. Install the VST3 plugin and scan for new plugins in Ableton's preferences. Load MIDI Agent on a MIDI track, then use the audio to MIDI feature to convert your recordings. For best results, use high-quality recordings with clear instrument separation—files under 30 seconds work optimally. Solo piano, clean guitar, and acoustic instruments provide the most accurate transcriptions. Once converted, edit and refine your MIDI directly in Ableton, adjusting notes, timing, and velocity to perfect your musical ideas.
