How to convert audio file to MIDI in Logic — 4 steps
- 01
Select the audio region in Logic
Pick the audio region you want to convert. Solo vocals, piano lines, and monophonic solos give the highest accuracy.
- 02
Bounce in Place or Export Selection
Use File → Export → Selection as Audio File... or the ⌘B shortcut to bounce the region as WAV/AIFF.
- 03
Upload to PureMIDI
Drag the exported WAV file onto the upload zone on this page. The AI detects notes and produces a .mid file in about 30 seconds.
- 04
Drag the MIDI back into Logic
Drag the .mid file into Logic's Tracks area — Logic auto-creates a new Software Instrument track. Pick a sound and play.
Use cases
Studio audio → MIDI
Take vocals, guitar, or piano lines already recorded in Logic and convert them into MIDI drafts to swap sounds and rearrange.
Audio loop transcription
Convert audio loops from sample libraries into MIDI so you can play them with any instrument, transpose, or remix.
Vocal melody → MIDI
Capture a vocal guide line you sang into Logic, turn it into MIDI, and double the melody with synths, brass, or pads.
Complement Logic's built-in tools
For monophonic lines that Logic's built-in audio-to-MIDI options miss, run a parallel conversion here and merge the results.
Logic audio → MIDI accuracy notes
- Solo vocals, solo instruments, and monophonic lines yield the highest accuracy.
- Bouncing a multi-track full mix degrades accuracy significantly. Solo just the track you want to convert before bouncing.
- Audio Apple Loops convert fine; MIDI Apple Loops don't need conversion — they're already MIDI.
- Bounce as PCM 24-bit WAV or 16-bit WAV for the most stable input.
Logic Pro version compatibility
The same workflow works in every recent Logic version.
| Logic version | Supported | Bounce shortcut |
|---|---|---|
| Logic Pro 11 | ✅ | ⌘B |
| Logic Pro 10.7+ | ✅ | ⌘B |
| Logic Pro X (10.0–10.6) | ✅ | ⌘B |
| GarageBand | ✅ (Share → Export Song to Disk) | — |
Pro tip: Bounce in Place for batches
To convert several regions at once, use Bounce in Place (⌃⌘B) to bounce each one to WAV, then upload them in one batch.
