Nah you can't do stuff like that... How would Cubase know how to turn a sample into midi messages?!?

Correct me if I'm wrong - cos this would be the most awesome feature ever lol!

You can write the notes in mate by looking at where the they are & guessing pitch. Might take a little while but you'll get quicker at it.

don't know if this is a solution to your needs but...if you want to convert a piece of audio into something more manipulatable then try converting it into a REX file (via Recycle), Cubase supports them as far as I know.

midi is contoller data only, midi for it's own doesn't make sound...

the best way to get a midifile of an audiofile is to use melodyne..
melodyne detects the melody, and after that you can save this melody as a midiflie,
for use in sequencer...
but this is not possible with an audiofile of a complete song, with drums, piano etc...
you need one instrument in one audiotrack!

hope i could help you a little,

Yeah.. You can turn MIDI notes into audio, but not the other way around.

If they ever make such a feature, I'm DEMANDING a mixdown button.

There is software that will make the conversion from wave to midi but in my experience its not all that accurate and honestly, not worth the effort. If you're hoping to run an entire track through it and have it come notated perfectly you'll end up disappointed. It may work ok at best for simple things like short melodies or short riffs provided you're using clean unmixed audio but that's about it.



If you're still looking something check this out:

Melodyne works for melodies with clear notes, tends to be pretty bad with complicated stuff though (might be a lot better in the new version, judging by the video posted a while back. I'm still on 3.1).
