Re: [LAU] Audio to midi, finding notes from an mp3

Oops -- meant to reply to all... sorry about the double post, Chris. I have a related question. Suppose I wanted to get midi output from plain old guitar/audio input. Obviously, this is entirely possible. A hardware midi controller or soft synth would be necessary, right? Don't want to spend cash on a hardware midi controller. Have noodled around with ZynAddSubFx and have had no success so far; by "no success," I mean I haven't even been able to input through jack because my soundcard is apparently not midi-capable and therefore won't even connect to Zyn. Anybody have any suggestions that don't involve investments in hardware? Dumb as it sounds, I am very confused about this -- I have seen audio input instantly converted to midi in a "real" studio through a midi box. My understanding was that soft synths should do the same thing. Is this wrong? Thanks
