Hello again,
I've read in another thread about a program called Digital Ear that can covert a solo track to MIDI. This is of interest to me because, on a project that I'm working on now, a poor choice in instrument sound was made for a solo in one of the songs. It would be great to convert this analog (one note at a time) track to MIDI and then choose a different sound. I'm sure I'm going to run into this situation again down the road so I'd like to look into this possibility. Problem is...I don't know MIDI nothing. Where do I start? What do I need? Help?

Many thanks,
SJM

Hello again,
Last night I downloaded a WAV-to-MIDI software demo. I used on the one-note-at-a-time track I mentioned previously. The program did a fair job of converting the file however there is allot of artifacts that need to be cleaned up. I guess what I need now is a MIDI track editor..and one that would let me assign different sounds to the file. Is there such an animal? Any suggestions?

As always, many thanks,
SJM

Loads of them. From free to very expensive!

Try a net search using 'midi sequencer' as a key. Google gave me 29,000+ hits on this alone!

BTW, any midi sequencer will allow you play with different sounds. What sounds they are, depends more on what you have available on your system than the software itself.
