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

(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.

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, Jerry

However, this can be one of the shortcomings: Quote: You can use it to convert guitar or bass (monophonic, not chorded) audio or percussion audio to MIDI via drag-and-drop.

YMMV... Last edited by DC Ron; 04/28/22 11:11 PM. DC Ron BiaB Audiophile Presonus Studio One StudioCat DAW dual screen Presonus Faderport 16 Too many guitars (is that a thing?)
