Converting audio clip
Posted by John Nelson on November 25, 2019 at 2:14 pmSince my AE4 doesn’t recognize midi audio I have been looking around at sites that will convert midi to mp3. There are tons of them.
Does anyone know of one that is trustworthy?
I’m currently being bombarded by the flash player scam and am not interested in incurring another. :{
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

November 25, 2019 at 4:59 pmThanks for the quick reply.
After checking out the site I didn’t notice any midi conversion possibilities, although I didn’t download the complete software.

November 25, 2019 at 7:22 pmHave you tried Adobe’s Audition or even possibly Media Encoder?

November 25, 2019 at 7:34 pmI’m not sure Adobe supports midi, I would go ahead and try VLC to convert. If you work with video, you should already have it installed. ☺

November 25, 2019 at 8:24 pmDon’t have Audition but hadn’t thought of their media encoder. I have an old copy of that.
Thanks.

November 26, 2019 at 6:10 pmNow, I’ve never tried it. But I assume VLC has support for midi – I’ve read that anyways…
VLC – you download here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
From VLC forums:
How to convert is:
choose Media
choose convert / save
select the (midi-)file to be converted
press convert / save
now a window Convert appears. Type in the group box the full path and name of the destination file. This is important.
choose the correct settings
press Starthttps://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=112144
That post looked like from an older version of VLC. Here’s a screen shot of the new with the Convert/Stream window open.

November 26, 2019 at 7:48 pmThere is a free version of ProTools from Avid if you want something to let you edit the midi as well as convert it.
And there is another free midi/analog audio program that works great… But I’m away from the computer it’s on and can’t remember the name, so that last sentence was useless to you. Sorry I mentioned it.
