Some real tracks contain a midi score.

I would like to use it with an instrument plugin instead of the audio part.

Until then, I go through a "copy to track" in a utility track, selecting only the Midi part.

But can't I transform the initial audio track into midi while keeping the initial midi score? (I looked for a "Convert to midi" action in the tarcks actions, without success)

Best regards

It doesn't work exactly the way you interpret.
Some RealTracks have associated MIDI data. In those cases, the MIDI data you see is usually manually transcribed from the RealTracks data. This means that it will have a more 'rigid' sound.
RealTracks are audio sound recorded segments, which are different to MIDI data which are digital data commands to go to a sound module to convert to the audio.

Essentially, there is no method available to convert the initial audio track into MIDI, except for the manual transcriptions. Some exceptions include keyboard instruments, where the player's performance can also be output to MIDI simultaneously.

Riccoboni,

You may want to consider trying our MIDI SuperTracks, as they are live performances captured in MIDI. This will give your selected tracks more of that natural feel with the flexibility of being able to use different MIDI patches or plugins.

Hope this helps!


Best,

This feature is part of 2022 and not 2021, but Playable RealTracks may interest you and give you more flexibility:

If you have access to EZBass by Toontrack, click on the Audio Tracker tab at the top. You can use it to convert guitar or bass (monophonic, not chorded) audio or percussion audio to MIDI via drag-and-drop.

Yes, good tip. There are other working methods outside of BiaB. However, this can be one of the shortcomings:

Melodyne Studio can save audio to polyphonic (chorded) MIDI, but it's a pricey solution, and not better in most cases than using the BiaB transcription. YMMV...
