Frequently Asked Questions - TS-AudioToMIDI

1. How to transcribe music in realtime?
   First select the source for the sound by setting up "Wave In" control at the top of main window. By default "Wave Mapper" is selected, for it is used in most cases. Select input device in Windows Volume Control (you can call it by pressing "Windows Mixer" button in the right of "Wave In" selector). For instance, to select microphone as input device call Volume Control, choose "Options"->"Properties" menu item, select "Recording" in "Adjust volume for" section and press OK. Select Microphone in Recording Controls dialog appears.
   
   Make sure that "Wave In" is turned on. When it is not, "Wave In: Stopped" is written in the middle of spectrum window instead spectra. "Start/Stop Wave In" button is in the right of "Wave In" control. When "Wave In" is started every input sound will be recognized.
   
   You can start recording the result of recognition by pressing "Record" button on MIDI sequencer at the bottom of the window. Use "Auto Record" button to start recording automatically as soon as first note is detected.
   
   To play notes detected in real time turn on "MIDI Device" or "PC Speaker" or both at "Play/Keep silence" control in the lower right corner of the main window. Verify "MIDI Out" device if no sound appears. "MIDI Mapper" is selected by default and this fits for most cases. When a note is detected, the corresponding key on the fingerboard under Spectrum Window flashes with red color.
   
   To improve recognition accuracy adjust recognition parameters. You may do this without breaking recognition process, all changes take effect as soon as they are made. However when MIDI recording is turned on some controls are disabled.
   
   
2. How to transcribe a wave file?
   By pressing "Open Wave File" button in the upper left corner of TS-AudioToMIDI window select the wave file you are going to recognize. If succeeded, "Play/Stop Wave File" and "Convert Wave File" buttons turn active.
   
   You can start conversion without changing default recognition parameters by simply pressing "Convert Wave File". When recognition process is accomplished, the created MIDI file will be automatically loaded to MIDI sequencer placed at the bottom of main window.
   
   You can listen to it using "Play" button but "Save" button is disabled unless your copy of TS-AudioToMIDI is registered.
   
   If you find inaccuracy level too high, tune up recognition parameters and repeat recognition process once more. Previous MIDI record will be lost after this unless you save it as MIDI file.
   
   
3. Wave recording
   TS-AudioToMIDI contains a simple built-in Wave Recorder. It allows you to record sound either from a microphone or any other sound source.
   
   Wave Recorder includes the following features:
   
   • Ability to save uncompressed Wave files of unlimited length.
   • Waves can be recorded both in mono and in stereo mode.
   • Sampling frequency can be 11025, 22050 or 44100 Hz.
   • Sample resolution is 8 or 16 bit.
   • You can watch the sound level as you record.
   • Recording can be performed from any Wave In device.
   
   
   Sound is recording to a temporary file in the system directory designated for temporary files. For example this directory for user petrov is C:\Documents and Settings\petrov\Local Settings\Temp under Windows 2000/XP.
