I just recently discovered the 'pitch to midi conversion' function in RB. Very cool PGMusic! This is something I've wanted for a long time and there it was already.

I recorded a bass line and ran the function on it and the results were promising. The first half of the recording was converted quite accurately. The second half started to degenerate, however, with the engine detecting spurious notes and mis-interperting others. I'm certain that with a bit of tweaking I can get the engine to work sufficiently for what I want.

However, I wonder if any of you can offer some suggestions for preparing the audio track so it has the greatest chance of success? Is there any combination of EQ and FX, such as compression, filtering etc., that would make it easier for the conversion algorithm to be more accurate?

Thanks in advance.
