Default Evonna, I'm sorry to h

Evonna,

I'm sorry to hear that Intelliscore's audi-to-MIDI didn't work. I'm not surprised. Nobody has yet developed software that can do a good job of audio-to-MIDI, except for single voice melodies. The almost unanimous assessment among audio software engineers is that this problem is either impossible to solve, or nearly impossible to solve without requiring a huge amount of help from the user, as you have noted. You won't find any honest software engineer claiming that he has solved this problem. You will only find perhaps some marketing people claiming that their frustrated software engineers have solved the problem. Complain to the marketing folk, but not the programmers(unless they are the same individuals), because the programmers have an impossible or nearly impossible job.

That said, I still dream that someone will solve the audio-to-MIDI problem. If they did, then we have audio-to-MIDI + MIDI-to-notation = audio-to-notation.

Cheers
-- Mark
