IntelliScore is
a MP3 to MIDI converter for music notation, music transcription, making
multi-track MIDI files, and finding chord names from multi-instrument MP3,
WAV, CD, WMA, AAC, and AIFF files.
Several file formats exist for storing digital
audio recordings. The most commonly used are MP3, wave (.wav), and
WMA. Wave files contain raw audio data and can be quite large.
MP3 files use compression to reduce the size of the file without
noticeable degradation in sound quality. WMA (Windows Media
Audio), developed by Microsoft, is another compression format. AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) is an audio compression format frequently used in
Apple products such as iTunes, iPod, and QuickTime. AIFF
(Audio Interchange File Format) is a non-compressed audio file format
commonly used on Macintosh computers. Audio CDs also store
audio recordings.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) files are fundamentally different from audio files. Audio
files are the computer equivalent of recording tape and capture all the
elements of the original performance, including the singer’s voice,
percussion, and specific instruments. MIDI files do not actually
contain any sounds. They merely specify what notes are to be played
and when, at a certain loudness level. The sounds you hear when
playing back a MIDI file are generated by your computer’s sound
card. Therefore, the same MIDI file will sound different from
one computer to another according to the sound card. Also, MIDI
files cannot recreate sung or spoken words or non-musical sounds.
In spite of these limitations, MIDI files
have several advantages over audio files. For one thing, they are
very compact, even smaller than MP3, WMA, and AAC files. But most
importantly, you can do things with MIDI files that are impossible with
audio files. Using a MIDI notation program (such as Anvil Studio
which is included with intelliScore), you can see the notes that are
present in the music. You can add, remove, and change individual
musical notes. You can change the instrument to use when playing the
notes. Therefore, MIDI files are useful for transcribing and
arranging music.
If you want to transcribe or arrange a
recorded piece of music or drum solo track but do not have a MIDI file for
it, this is where intelliScore can help. IntelliScore
Ensemble is the only product in the world that can listen to a musical
audio file (MP3, WAV, CD, WMA) comprised of several different instruments
or drums and convert it to a multiple track MIDI file containing the notes
or drums played, broken down by instrument. The process
intelliScore uses to determine the notes or drums played is extremely
complex, and although we continually improve upon it, is not yet
completely accurate. Therefore, you may want to clean up the results
using a MIDI editor (such as Anvil Studio, which is included with
intelliScore). Nevertheless, often you can save time by using
intelliScore to create an initial MIDI file and clean up the results than
to transcribe entirely by hand.
