How do I convert audio to MIDI for free?
The answer
Upload the recording to a free audio-to-MIDI converter such as the one below. It uses Basic Pitch, Spotify’s open-source note-transcription model, in your browser to detect the notes, and you download a standard .mid file for FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro or any DAW.

- Hum a melody and convert it, then play it back with any instrument.
Questions
Is it free?
No. It is completely free, with a free account: no watermark and no limit. It runs in your browser, so your audio is never uploaded.
Why is my MIDI messy?
Full mixes with many instruments produce busy MIDI. Solo instruments and single melodies give the cleanest notes.
