Converting Wave Files to MIDI

Hi Greg:

Is there any updates on saving Wave files to MIDI using multiple instruments? I would like to save some of my square dance records to midi , they do use multiple instruments, I have the latest version of Mixcraft 8 Pro 64 bit installed on an 8 GIG computer. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I do have access to an online converter (Bear File Converter), but the output is so garbled when importing into mixcraft...

I will enclose a sample of a midi file that works on my Yamaha keyboard , but not in Mixcraft.

Note that this file came from Bear File Converter, and it works on my Yamaha Keyboard, but not in Mixcraft, take a look at it Greg: see what they do with the output and see what you can do to incorporate this into Mixcraft 8 pro, I paid $10.00 for a month of online converting of wave files with audio to MIDI , in this one you can almost hear the lyrics.

I stand corrected, this function works if you do not touch or optimize the output file for XG format. The file as I have uploaded works if you import it as a sound file, then save it as a midi file then you can modify it. Did you update mixcraft to do this Greg? It did not work in an earlier version.

Here is both the mp3 of the original file and the MIDI that I was able to optimize with Mixcraft 8 Pro , its a square dance reel called Virginia Reel, see how close it gets in this rendition that I modified:

Note that I am unable to put in the mp3 of Virginia Reel, it is too big.

For the sake of my own curiousity:

Are you saying that you can take a POLYPHONIC .MP3 file, upload it to that Bear Converter, and it spits out a MIDI file with multiple tracks/instruments that require very little MIDI editing???

Could you upload the .MP3 file that you're using???

P.S.

Oh I see you say the .MP3 file is too big. Upload to SoundCloud and detail the link here.
