AUDIO to MIDI in Any DAW - Super EASY 🤯

[@MattiasHolmgren]

NeuralNote is a FREE plugin that uses the Spotify Basic Pitch library to convert audio2midi. It's super quick and handles any kind of tonal (and polyphonic) instrument..It even recognizes pitch bends.NeuralNote work on Windows and Mac OSX and there's even a standalone app. Let's see how it handles audio, from simple to more advanced polyphonic playing.

[@jeffbridges6110]

I can't believe this is free. It's very useful for quickly adding a bass line(s) to guitar parts.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Indeed, the best!

[@TJ_Eternal_Argonaut]

Does it work well for that? That would be the exact reason that I get it

[@Dhieen]

how do you do that? adding a bass line to guitar parts? like you transform your guitar audio into midi and keep only the low notes to use on the bass?

[@iamdjsyko]

This looks like a godsend to someone with a musical ear but no theory knowledge. I've recorded so many ideas as voice memos on my phone and never get round to making them into anything because I'm lost in front of a piano Thanks so much!

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Absolutely! You can beat this for transcribing such audio memos. 👌🥳🌟

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Correction: its not “realtime”. Some parts if the analysis require approx 1s audio chunks to get ampltude for the lowest freq bins. 🎉 That said, NeuralNote is suuuper quick analysis tool!

[@heckensteiner4713]

Super cool! I can't believe how well it picked up the picking, chords and sustain! One of the best audio to midi plugin's I've seen yet.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Glad you like it!

[@TonyBelleau]

Absolutely! I've tried so many I had given up. Cannot believe this is free. Great review.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Note: The "appropriate" folder is the folder where your plugin resides. On Mac OSX it's: Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3 on PC it might be: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

[@AncientGranules]

Thanks for the reminder, that is one I was looking for and forgot about it, until you did this video. Especially useful (to me) to get old Audio out and MIDI-ize it!

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Awesome, very happy to share this reminder. NeuralNote is a no-brainer! Love how easy it is to work with. 🍿😄

[@kaverik.thekaezo]

You have no idea how happy this makes me. I have been hoping for something like this for YEARS! I kinda stopped prod and watching prod videos, but I'm glad I found this now as I'm getting back into it.

[@ZeroKami86]

@4:18 looks like it turned the pitch bend into separate notes because the drop-down box is set to "No Pitch Bend"

[@ZeroKami86]

I've been looking for something like this that in real-time transcribes humming and/or singing to midi notes - that way I can use my voice + mic as a midi controller.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Yeah, NeuralNote is def super useful and should be in everyones music toolbox!

[@ivanshafiq2915]

there was a pitch bend option _ which i think was off .... would it work with BENDS if turned on ?

[@vanhaze2000]

Hi Mattias, thank you for this great video ! Do you know if the mac version of the plugin is U2B, so it is arm64 compatible and works natively on Apple Silicon macs ? Kind regards from Holland.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Hi, oh it wasn’t clear from the release page but I believe it’s intel x86 atm. When I run it next time I’ll check activity monitor to see what build the service is running. Though I think it would be possible to make an Apple Silicon arm64 build from the source. The plugin ran fine on my M1 Max though, so no worries.

I found it before and have no time to test it. But this is very good to see how it works. Thanks. I will use it in combination with the Fender Riffstation (now 1.6.3 latest and old version, no maintain anymore) and change the old discontinued app. But it is really good in combination to get melodies from brainstorming records :)

Thanks 4 the vid Mattias, amazing stuff there, it's seems to be working as its best with monophonic tracks. I'll will try it to with complex guitar solos, although the bending issue might be a problem.

[@ABNAIFALQATAN]

Hola..me encanto ver esto..lo descargue y lo puse a prueba y es increible...pero..por ejemplo,uso protools con patchwork..una melodia la transcribe fuera de tiempo...o sea,le agrega un par de tiempos mas...hay alguna manera de corregir esto?y La parte que dice cuantizar no se como activarla..desde ya,mil gracias

[@Goomer]

At first I was so stoked...but, I'm using Garageband with AU plugin. I tried a non complex keyboard track first and it added a lots of odd notes, also a small window for "Controller"? My friend did the playing, sent me the GB project. I also tried a drumbeat that was used as a click track originally, just kick and snare and it gave me tons of notes too. Your demo had short phrases, I am trying this on a 4:30 song track.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Hey, Maybe first break down that song into separate stems which will be easier for Neural Note to extract the midi. You can extract stems with FL Studios built in AI function. ;)

[@bluespectralmonkey]

yes and on the basic pitch website you can adjust the note size and sensitivity , i haven't used the plugin yet , soon, im assuming it has the same functionality. hope so,

[@DaKingof]

Beautiful! Thanks bro!

Thanks 🎉

[@eleven_live]

Awesome! Can't wait to try it out. Great T-shirt btw

[@ranveeeer]

How did it work?

[@eleven_live]

@ranveeeer it's great for monophonic melodic stuff. Needs some tweaking for polyphonic, but is still serviceable. Overall very good, and since it's free i'd give it 5/5

[@scottlarock7924]

Thank you for this! I put it in another comment, but if you don't want to mess around with pitch correction, maybe a midi filter would help clean up some results in certain cases.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

You are welcome! 🥳Yeah you can def experiment with extra midi filters.

Any time!

[@bongospank8321]

Wow. I just fed it half a dozen full songs, and it got 85% of the way there in seconds. I get the impression there's a workflow to be discovered that might be a cheat code to understand what makes a song work in the shortest possible amount of time. Something like converting to midi, auto-assigning the parts to match the instrumentation, then mapping out the chord structure. Maybe the other tools to do this already exist.

I Have a question Mattias : i see You use Bitwig and i was wondering how many of the stio version plug ins are missing in the producer version because music is a hoby and i dont want to spent to much on a daw allthough right now i am only looking for a replacement for studio one anyway. Could you do a video on do we realy need the Studio version of bitwig or is producer eddition more then enough. i tested this DAW and produced a track on it called " Tranceformer " ( see in Soundcloud ) and was actualy amased how easy things are with the daw but at that time there was no producer option as is now the case. however i also do a lot of Orieantal scaled music and studio one does not even recognise any samytone in between two full tones , so whenever i quantize the daw turned that into literal shit ( sorry ) : does Bitwig have similar issues ? and is producer more then enough for my needs or anyone elses needs ? i also am trying to find a way to test out ableton standard but seems there is no way to truely test it since you cant do the common stuff such as saving ( so far i understood ) but having made one track with Bitwig kind of tells me this is the DAW to use so in a sumery here is what i need to know plugins - are there major needed plugins that come with Studio excluded from producer - are there any E Guitar related plugins in the producer version and if so how good are they - is the DAW able to recognise oriental tones and music in general as such or does it also quantize them into common scales ( by which melodies get turned into literal trash! ) i would appreciate it if you could give us such a video and i allready subscribed because i like the way how you explain things .

[@basspig]

I can see this will work great for solo instruments but if you have an ensemble like a Jazz Ensemble with Bass piano and drums and trumpets it jumbles all the melodic sound into one track and doesn't understand the percussion sound at all. I guess we're not fully there yet but this will work well if you want to study a piano concerto.

I just played with this in Reaper. It installs and runs OK, but annoyingly, you can't feed audio into it from a recorded audio track. You have to render the audio to an actual file and then drop it. This is a quite cumbersome process. It would be a much better tool if it could accept audio input from the DAW like any normal FX plugin. Or am I missing some obvious trick or setting here?
