gawkmanhotmail.com Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 I've posted this question on numerous forums but have not been able to find an answer yet. Perhaps someone here has the answer (I hope I hope). What I want to do is very simple: I have a .wav file of a kick drum track, and I basically want a midi representation of that so I can replace the kick drum with whatever midi kick sound I want. Is there anything out there that simply create a midi file based events triggered by the level in the .wav file going above a threshold? I also tried using Wav 2 Midi by Audioworks, but the resulting file is not the same length as the original wav file. Grrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 I use Cakewalk - 9's audio to MIDI converter, it's a bite in the ass to tweak the parameters just so, but it does eventually work. As far as the MIDI events not being the same size as the audio's, MIDI drum events are only displayed as "note on" hits, there is no representation of the drum notes decay in MIDI. As long as the MIDI hits are lined up at the onset of the audio source track(s), its will sound correct, even know it doesn't "look" like its the same length. -Hippie In two days, it won't matter.

Bobro Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Steinberg Recycle! -CB Oh- here's a link about it, refering exactly to what you're after. And it does work, I've sync'd drum samples to a hand-clapped rhythm via the midi file Recycle can write from the adjustable hit points. http://www.xhiphop.com/software/recycle.html This message has been edited by Bobro on 06-14-2001 at 03:08 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawkmanhotmail.com Posted June 14, 2001 Author Share Posted June 14, 2001 Well, damn!!! I didn't know Cakewalk had that feature until you mentioned it... had what I was needing all along! I'm still learning all the stuff in CWAP9, and that sounds like EXACTLY what I'm needing. I shall try that tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Zap Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 There is a VST plugin called "Drum Replacer" (or something like it, must admit I dont remember in detail). You load a wav into it and you put it as an effect on the track you have your drum. It'll detect the drum hits and replace with the sample. /Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockbody Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 From the Drumagog website http://www.drumagog.com Drumagog is a powerful Direct-X drum replacer plugin. It allows you to replace previously recorded drum tracks with a vast array of drum samples. Although I've never tried it, it might be what you're looking for.
