Audio to MIDI

From recording to MIDI notes

Install the VST3 plugin or another supported MIDI Agent format and load it on any track. Prepare your audio by using high-quality recordings under 30 seconds with clear instrument separation—works best with solo piano, clean guitar, or acoustic instruments. Drop your audio file into MIDI Agent's audio to MIDI conversion feature, and the AI intelligently transcribes the performance into editable MIDI. Refine transcriptions directly in your DAW, adjusting notes, timing, and velocities to perfect your converted MIDI for production in any genre.

Use a clear source

  • Use clear recordings under 30 seconds with one prominent instrument.
  • Solo piano, clean guitar, vocals, and acoustic instruments produce the cleanest starting point.
  • Review and refine the transcription in your DAW piano roll.

Plan to refine the result

  • Heavily processed, noisy, or densely layered audio can reduce transcription accuracy.
  • Complex orchestral mixes usually require more manual cleanup than isolated parts.

AI MIDI Generators vs Audio Generators

Audio tools can sketch ideas quickly, but MIDI keeps the notes editable in your DAW. Compare the workflow before choosing an AI music tool.

Audio Generators

Create finished tracks that are useful as references, but difficult to reshape at the musical data level.

  • Fixed audio output that cannot be changed note by note
  • Locked to generated sounds and instruments
  • Usually web-first instead of DAW-native

Examples: Suno, Udio, Soundraw, Mubert

MIDI Generators

Produce raw musical data you can edit, arrange, voice, and route through your own instruments.

  • Connect your ChatGPT account
  • Editable notes, timing, velocities, and expression
  • Route the same idea to any instrument in your session
  • Keep AI-generated ideas inside your DAW workflow

Examples: MIDI Agent, AIVA, Magenta Studio
