How do you convert audio to guitar MIDI?

1. Upload your audio track

Drop in your track (MP3, WAV, MP4, and more—45+ formats supported). The converter automatically preps the audio for analysis to improve the final output.

2. Pick the output style, then convert

Choose what you need: Transcription to capture the guitar part as it’s actually played, or Arrangement for a cleaner, more performance-friendly version that’s easier to edit and reuse. Then start the conversion.

3. Download your MIDI file and adjust it if needed

Export your result as guitar MIDI. Depending on your workflow, you can also download MusicXML and a PDF, and fine-tune the output in the built-in editor (notes, timing, tempo, measures, and more).

Private and secure

Your conversions are stored securely for 30 days and then automatically and permanently deleted.
versatile conversion apps

Versatile

Depending on the context, you can choose between two approaches: reproduce the guitar performance as closely as possible (transcription), note for note, or favor a cleaner interpretation that’s easier to replay and edit (arrangement).

Fast

For songs of medium complexity, doing a manual transcription can easily take a full day. Here, analysis starts as soon as you upload the audio, and the guitar MIDI is generated quickly, without a heavy workflow.

I use PianoConvert to turn my original pieces and covers into clean, usable MIDI. The tempo and structure are reliable enough that I can import the file straight into my DAW, change the instrumentation, quantize if needed, and rework the arrangement without starting from scratch.

PianoConvert saves me a huge amount of time on notation: I get a readable PDF score and a MusicXML file I can open in MuseScore to fix a couple details and add annotations. For preparing clean charts (rehearsals, lessons, publishing), it’s become my go-to.

GuitarConvert helps me get a clear MIDI version of the songs I’m working on. I then import it into Ableton to test sounds, double the guitar with synth layers, or build a rhythmic foundation. It’s fast, and it saves me from transcribing everything by ear.

For my students, it’s perfect: GuitarConvert generates a clean PDF tab and a MusicXML file I can adapt to their level in Guitar Pro or MuseScore. I save a ton of time preparing materials, especially when they ask for YouTube songs at the last minute.

BandConvert is incredibly impressive for extracting multi-track MIDI from a full song. I can then isolate parts (bass, drums, piano, etc.) in my DAW, swap instruments, and prepare backing tracks or demos in record time.

What I love is how clear the parts are for each instrument. The PDF is already very usable, and the MusicXML lets me quickly adjust a few measures in Sibelius before rehearsal. For a band, it changes everything—we rehearse with clean charts.

I mainly use SingConvert to extract a melodic line as MIDI from a vocal recording. I import it into Logic to harmonize, double the melody, try different keys, and build a production around it. It’s a super practical starting point for composing quickly.

For teaching, it’s excellent: I get a PDF score of the vocal melody and a MusicXML file I can edit to add breaths, lyrics, and dynamics. My students improve faster with a clear reference, especially on newer songs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Make sure your audio file has a clearly audible guitar part, then upload it to the GuitarConvert app and start the conversion. You’ll receive a guitar MIDI file containing all the notes played on guitar in the original audio, which you can edit and fine-tune before exporting.
Yes. The workflow is the same: upload the MP3, the AI analyzes notes and rhythm, and it generates MIDI. Only the source format changes.
When the guitar is clearly audible and not heavily masked. Very dense mixes (aggressive drums, dominant bass, lots of effects, heavy compression) often require a quick cleanup pass after conversion.
Yes. Our apps can prioritize a main instrument instead of trying to transcribe everything at once. If your goal is editing a guitar part, this usually produces cleaner, more usable results.
MIDI is ideal for editing notes and driving instruments in a DAW. MusicXML is great for notation software, and PDF lets you read or print the score quickly.
It depends on file length and musical complexity, but most conversions finish in a few minutes. Longer or highly detailed tracks may take a bit more processing time.
Use a clean source: avoid clipping, keep background noise low, and make sure the guitar stays clearly present. Noisy live recordings or overly compressed audio typically reduce accuracy — clearer audio leads to better MIDI.
You can generate a free preview for the first 30 seconds across all our apps to check quality. To download the full conversion and all exports, we offer affordable subscription plans.
