How Can you convert Audio to Midi?

Hello there chaps!
I went to a workshop tuther day and the drummer from Lamb
was showing me how he uses a trigger on his bass pedal and uses a Midi sound and it
sounded brilliant.
I've finished recording the drums for a band and on one of
the songs Ive tried and tried to get the kick to sound good but obviusly you cant polish a
turd, and a turd it is.
So I was thinking about putting a MIDI kick in there,
apperntly you can convert the audio into midi events, but i dont know how. Im using cubase
SX 1, can anyone help me?
The drummer has played to a click(although not very
well!) so I could put all the parts in manually but it will take ageeeeeesssssssss!!

Hi Sam, you can use a tool such as Steinberg's Recycle to slice up the drum loop and
export it as midi file that you can import in your sequencer. You can read more about
recycle here: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Apr02/articles/cubasenotes0402.asp?print=y
esThere's other tools that the same, but this is the one that comes to
mind off hand. Which sequencer software do you use? A lot of sequencers now
bring their own loop slicing capability. - Dan

Although I've not tried it personally, Drumagog is often recommended for this application and seems to be
highly rated...

Can't Cubase do this? Certainly in Logic it's pretty easy, you use the audio-to-score
which will generate MIDI notes from your kick hits, which you then just use to trigger a
kick sample.
I'm sure Cubase will have something similar...

thanks for that tip desmond i thought logic was missing something like an
audio/midi trigger plug in cant wait to try it out.... thats not the
latest version of cubase either is it? check for operations in the menu along the lines of
beat detection then maybe you can snap bits of audio to markers? a
non-cubase user taking a wild guess

Reaper does theis while having a smoke with the the other hand via it's 'reatune' vst
plugin...
It's an autotune type thang, but has a checkbox to output midi...
You might want to put a gate in the fx chain before say the kick track, might make
things a little cleaner....
I guess you could use the reatune.dll in Cubase,
dunno, havnt tried it... not sure if you wold be breaking the liscence agreement by doing
so...
But at a 3meg download and a tiny footprint, and a wonder to behold, you
could do the job in reaper and then expert the midi...
That's a cheap and easy
and good way out though...
Maybe

Yeah!

I've just started using Drumagog and so far it rocks! I also believe some of
the Melodyne products do audio to MIDI. Hope that helps... Steven
