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

Copy the video URL, paste it into the converter, choose the main instrument if needed (piano, guitar, vocals, etc.) or select a full-mix analysis of all instruments, then start the conversion. Once the AI analysis is complete, you’ll get a MIDI file with all notes for the requested instruments (plus a PDF score and a MusicXML file).
Yes. The process is the same: the tool analyzes the audio to recover the notes and rhythm. The only difference is the source—either a YouTube link or an MP3 file uploaded from your computer.
The best results usually come from a single instrument that’s clearly audible, like solo piano or a clean lead melody. On the other hand, a track with many instruments, backing vocals, and dense production will more often require edits after conversion.
Yes. Our converters let you target a main instrument (piano, guitar, voice, drums) instead of trying to transcribe the entire mix. If your goal is to replay or edit one specific instrument, this option often produces a cleaner, more usable result.
The most common format is MIDI, which is ideal for editing notes and changing instruments in a DAW. We also provide MusicXML for editing in notation software, and PDF if you want to print sheet music directly.
It depends on the length of the track and server load, but most conversions finish in about two minutes. Longer or more complex tracks can take more time, especially if the tool runs additional processing.
Choose a video with clean audio—ideally a studio version or a track where the main instrument is very clear. Avoid live recordings with crowd noise, or videos where the vocals overpower the instrument. Whenever possible, pick YouTube tracks featuring a single instrument (the one you want to transcribe), since these factors strongly affect final MIDI quality.
You can transcribe the first 30 seconds of your YouTube videos into MIDI files for free across all our apps to check the quality of the result. To get the full version, we offer affordable subscription plans.
