HOW To convert WAV to MIDI?

[shnydtayne]

Look, I had the gp4 files of some of my pieces ni windows. I don't remember if I kept them in back-up when I turned into Gentoo Linux: the only thing I have are the WAV files to the gp4's, And I need to bring the back to gp4, so I can edit them with Guitar Pro 4. The problem is that Guitar Pro 4 only imports from MIDI and ASCII Tables. So I need to convert the pieces from WAV to MIDI first.

Anyone knows how to do that?

It's pretty much impossible. MIDI files are tracker files. They are basically just scripts that tell the player what note to play with what instrument and what effects. A wave file is raw audio. As you can tell computers aren't smart enough to be able to convert from anything raw to a tracker format. There ARE some raw audio file to tracker (MIDI, MOD, etc) converters out there but they are very, very bad unless the audio is incredibly simple (although I only knew of Windows ones then anyway).

yup, you can't convert an audio file to a midi. But can't you just rewrite them? I'm sure you remember how you did it.
