Preparing AIF / AIFF for a cleaner MIDI result
- Use the original lossless AIFF export when available and avoid converting it to a lossy format first.
- A clear single melody, vocal, or instrument line usually needs less cleanup than a dense finished mix.
- Trim long silence and unrelated sections before uploading so the transcription focuses on the passage you need.
- Multichannel sessions should be mixed to a clear stereo or mono melody before transcription.
Frequently asked questions

Upload the AIF / AIFF file, wait while its audio is normalized and transcribed, review the piano-roll result, and download the generated .mid file.
Does converting AIF / AIFF preserve the original sound?
MIDI stores detected notes and timing, not the original waveform or instrument timbre. It is intended for editing and playback with a chosen instrument.
What AIF / AIFF files work best?
Use the original lossless AIFF export when available and avoid converting it to a lossy format first. Multichannel sessions should be mixed to a clear stereo or mono melody before transcription.
