OK EVERYONE - PLEASE HELP ME !!!
I have a simple guitar solo mp3 I want to convert to MIDI. I followed the instructions implicitly and received the message:
“Cannot export audio in this format”
I can’t believe it won’t convert this. It is the most simple audio. A short one note at a time guitar solo played slowly. The following is the procedure I used. If anyone detects I made a mistake PLEASE tell me.
Also, is there ANY WAY I can contact tech support to tell them of this problem?
File - export audio - other uncompressed files - SDS - edit metadata - ok - save . . .
"cannot export audio in this format’ comes up
PLEASE help me. I’ve been trying to do this project for 6 months. I’m not a techie and am doing the best I can.
There are applications that try to do this, so you can google “audio to MIDI” or “WAV to MIDI”.

Are you the guitarist? Do you know the notes? It would be easier to get a cheap-little MIDI keyboard and some MIDI software and learn to play it on the keyboard. Or, you should be able to manually enter the notes into the MIDI software.
Machine makers do their darndest to disguise the fact that MIDI is not a sound format. I used to love playing my MIDI songs in the wrong speed and with the wrong instrument. One of the MIDI instructions is the actual instrument. 004 may be just a number to you, but to MIDI, that’s a Honky-Tonk Piano. If I tell my computer to play your guitar composition in “004,” it’s going to come out a tinkly-sounding piano.
Your guitar skills have nothing to do with it and are a complete waste of time.
So you might want to reconsider converting your excellent guitar performances to MIDI.
The recommendation is to export your guitar work as WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit sound files. Those are perfect quality, uncompressed files useful for editing, listening or converting to anything else. Windows will probably try to hide the “.wav” from the filename, but that’s what it is. You can send one of those to someone else for production and editing and you can save it for archive—or even overdubbing—playing to yourself.
