Your vocal should be as pure as possible and even then you may need to do a little editing in MIDI.

I would use Melodyne for this as I have had some great audio to MIDI conversions with it. I have used it for bass and guitar with success.

I hope this helps and good luck.


Exactly what Mario said! I have used melodyne with great success doing this. Even using the actual sung lyrics. You do have to do some editing in the piano roll to get it right but the more you do it the better you get. Now it takes me only a few minutes to edit the midi in the piano roll to get it sounding good.

Edited: just seen Noel’s post. Thanks Noel!
