wav to midi guide
WAV to MIDI: the clean recording test that gives you a fair result
WAV gives you a clean uncompressed source, but the format alone cannot make a complex recording monophonic. Use a short solo phrase so the result has one obvious line to follow.
Short answer: A fair WAV-to-MIDI test uses one voice or instrument, a short recording, and a known melody. Convert it in the browser, then compare the output notes with that melody.
Use this three-step test
- Record or choose a dry 5-15 second WAV with one voice, piano line, whistle, or other solo source.
- Upload the WAV and select Melody / solo instrument mode.
- Check the downloaded file in a MIDI app and listen for the same contour: low-to-high movement, repeats, and pauses.
What a noisy result means
A loud chord, drum hit, or backing part can become the strongest pitch in a frame. Simplify the WAV before trying sensitivity changes.
Keep the boundary clear
The result is a monophonic estimate for a solo source. It is not chord recognition, stem separation, or a full arrangement.
