Ableton audio to MIDI.

All processing happens in your browser.
Your files are never uploaded to a server.

In Ableton Live, convert a selected audio clip with “Convert Melody to New MIDI Track” or the matching Harmony/Drums command; otherwise upload the same audio here and download a MIDI file. Live’s command is a DAW route, while this browser route is for a clear solo melody and keeps the audio local.

Two ways to get MIDI from an Ableton audio clip

Route one: use Live’s audio-to-MIDI command

Ableton documents the command as a context-menu action on an audio clip: right-click the clip and choose Convert Melody to New MIDI Track for a single-note line. Live also exposes Convert Harmony to New MIDI Track and Convert Drums to New MIDI Track; choose the command that matches the material. The resulting MIDI track can be edited and played with an instrument.

Ableton’s Reference Manual lists these commands in the “Converting Audio to MIDI” chapter. If the command is absent in your edition or the clip does not produce useful notes, use the browser route below.

Route two: convert here, then bring the MIDI into Live

Choose the audio file in the converter above and select Convert to MIDI.
Preview the detected notes and download the .mid file.
In Live, drag the downloaded MIDI file from Explorer/Finder into a MIDI track, or use Live’s MIDI import command.
Load an instrument on that track and compare the MIDI against the original audio before editing.

This browser path is tested for a clear monophonic melody. It does not separate instruments, recover chords as separate tracks, or promise the same result as Live’s own analysis.

Other DAWs use the same two-route decision

FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, GarageBand, Audacity, and Reason are useful comparison points, but this page does not claim a built-in audio-to-MIDI command for them without an edition-specific official instruction. The dependable second route is the same: convert a supported solo-melody file here, download the MIDI, and import that file into the DAW.

FL Studio: use the browser converter route when you need a MIDI file from a clear melody, then import the result.
Cubase: use the browser converter route when the edition or project does not expose a verified audio-to-MIDI command.
Studio One: use the browser converter route for a local MIDI file, then inspect it in the piano roll.
GarageBand: use the browser converter route, then open the MIDI in a MIDI-capable project.
Audacity and Reason: treat the browser route as the shared fallback and verify the imported notes against the source.

An MP3 to MIDI converter for solo melodies

Use this audio to MIDI tool to capture the pitch and timing of a clear melody as editable notes. The downloaded file contains note events, not the original recording or instrument sound.

How do I change MP3 to MIDI?

Choose your recording above, select Convert to MIDI, then preview the detected notes before downloading. To convert MP3 file to MIDI, your browser must be able to decode the file; if decoding fails, try a standard encoding.

What changes when I convert MP3 into MIDI?

The result is a single track of detected notes. Detection confidence controls which pitches are kept, minimum note length removes short fragments, and transpose shifts all detected pitches. These controls do not recreate the original tone.

Can I convert a song to MIDI?

A clear solo melody is the intended input. A full mix with chords, drums and several instruments can produce missing or incorrect notes. This tool does not separate a song into individual instrument tracks.

Is this an AI MP3 to MIDI tool?

No. This version uses local signal processing to estimate pitches, not a trained AI model. Your selected audio stays in your browser.

Is this the best MP3 to MIDI converter for my recording?

There is no best-for-every-recording claim here. This MP3 to MIDI converter is intended for a clear solo passage: listen to the note preview and compare it with your source. If you need chord recognition or instrument separation, this version does not provide those capabilities.

What goes wrong when converting MP3 to MIDI?

Local tools such as Basic Pitch, librosa, or Omnizart can introduce installation and dependency issues. The MP3 to MIDI troubleshooting guide documents the specific errors, tested version combinations, and workarounds for each.

Does this tool also support WAV to MIDI?

Yes. This tool accepts MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, and FLAC are verified paths; AIFF is not supported as input. For WAV to MIDI, choose a standard PCM WAV file — the browser decodes it locally, just like MP3, and the same pitch detection and note controls apply.

Can I convert voice to MIDI?

Yes, when the input is a clear recording of singing or humming — an unaccompanied single melody. Voice to MIDI uses the same pitch detection as instrument audio, so accompanying music, harmonies, or layered vocals will produce missing or incorrect notes.
