You can do this by dragging and dropping an audio clip onto a MIDI or Instrument track, using a new command in the Track menu, or using special clipboard commands in the audio track’s contextual (right-click) menu(s). Just drag and drop an audio clip to an instrument or MIDI track, and Pro Tools analyzes and renders all pitches and timing as MIDI note data, ready to be edited or revoiced. To achieve this, Avid has integrated Melodyne from Celemony into Pro Tools 2020.11.
With new Audio-to-MIDI capabilities introduced into Pro Tools 2020.11, you can re-pitch notes, play with the timing, or even change the instrument in an audio file in Pro Tools. In this article, we show you how it works. It is simple, works well and is genuinely useful.
Of the new features in Pro Tools 2020.11, the stand out feature for me has been Audio To MIDI.
