Hi, Can anyone recommend some software that does voice to notation and allows you save it and export as a midi (or even .wav)? I have a free trial of Music Masterworks, which can do this…but it is clunky and the results are variable. Before I spend any money for the full version, I’d like to find out if there is an alternative.
Thanks, debbizo

Melodyne Editor can do that. I have tried it a couple of times, but the result depends on the quality of the source recording and you still have to do some editing to get a decent result. At least that is my (admittedly) limited experience with it.

i use the freeware Wave Goodbye for wav to midi conversion, and then in theory could use the freeware Anvilstudio.com to convert the MIDI to standard notation. With Wave Goodbye, the results are variable, which, for me, is its charm—but probably is not what you’d want.

I believe that commercial technology is better on this, but I am not sure the silver bullet conversion program yet exists. i have not tried melodyne, though, so i cannot say with certainty.

I know what you’re aiming to do - sing the parts you want to get. You’ll probably find the results frustrating with just about any vectoring software you can get that does this, as the computer is basically guessing.

You might spend no more money and get a lot more satisfaction out of getting a MIDI controller (keyboard.) I’ve seen 25 key MIDI controllers for no more than a hundred bucks.

If you’re just playing one note at a time (which is all your voice can do,) you might find that the learning curve isn’t as bad as you might think, and you’ll be a lot happier with the results, since a keyboard is essentially direct entry of the notes.
