Getting the cleanest Audio to Midi conversion

I’m looking for suggestions in achieving the cleanest Audio of a single instrument such as SWAM to convert to MIDI on its own midi track using Vari- Audio. I understand that SWAM uses an instrumental midi track but I have a few of those tracks in WAV that I need to convert I need to see this conversion very simple when sending it to the new score editor I am not concerned about the playback with expression, volumes, etc. etc. I just want to see it simply displayed note by note after converting the audio of that single instruments such as a trumpet or a violin or clarinet etc. etc. If you have had several simple conversions easily read, what settings did you use in Vari-Audio

I thank you for your time and suggestions

I don’t think there are settings for VariAudio detection. Sometimes I will increase the gain of the audio and bounce it before VariAudio detection to see if it helps. But in the end there’s always a fair amount of hand-editing to get it clean enough for a score.

I’ll also compare it to Melodyne. I just have the Essential version bundled with Cubase, which does NOT do MIDI conversion (paid upgrade). But it can give you an idea if the conversion is better if you want to upgrade.

YouTube videos always make it look easy. In practice it’s much more involved. For me, anyway.

I find the YouTube videos helpful but they are all success stories I kind of wish they would come out with a software that could just decode the note and their rhythmicvalues that is being played based off of a voice or an instrument minus all the inflections and then convert those notes to midi for the sole purpose of putting them on the stave line

Midi editing to clean it up and quantize if you need to send to score editor.

My experience tells me:

Alternatively, there’s this plugin called NeuralNote. You record the audio, load it into the plugin, then it converts said audio into MIDI. It also does polyphonic audio.

I will have to take a look at the neuralnote thank you
