mp3 to midi converter? ha ha ha. that's a new one.
tabs are often wrong and don't realy help a great deal anyway. You'd be better doing it by ear in feeback.

That really depends. Sometimes charting by ear is fine on its own, but I've found that, for the majority of the songs I've charted, having a tab or two in front of me is extremely helpful, even if they aren't always 100% correct.
But yeah, if you are charting songs, you probably want to ditch Freetar and use Feedback instead. Using Freetar is like using MS Paint instead of Photoshop -- I used to use Freetar, too, so I should know.

Guitar Pro (or similar) can be helpful because it'll let you hear the rythem of the lead parts (and you can decide if its right or not).

there is such a thing as a wav/mp3/ogg/wma to midi converter (aimed at canped), it's quite useful when making video games, but it is just over $200, and point blank, it works wonderfully, but definately won't do what you want it to (aimed at drzgamer). See, midi is completely different than other music files, it is just basically a series of actions for your sound card, not an actually file w/ a lot of depth to it. And this program i am talking about, will not pick out any one instrument, instead it does a a** load of fancy stuff w/ frequencies and then finds the best instrument it finds suitable for that particular frequency, note pitch, w/e. For more advanced users you can pick which instruments to use for what frequencies, pitches, and stuff. (and this is just for canped's info, it very rarely does a bad job. It's way more complicated than i'm making it out to be tho. I know that I don't really understand the program except for when i have it just do everything for me, and that's prolly why i sound like an idiot right now, but point blank it works. Which is amazing as you and i both know, and it could be easily sold for more money to big gaming companies).

What, really?! I don't believe it- how the hell could that possibly work. I know you can turn audio into MIDI but software-only options are universally clunky and have terrible tracking. You need to use a midi pickup on a single instrument to get passable results (and even then...)
I cannot fathom how a program could take an mp3 of a song, split up the instruments (which even the most expensive audio equipment does not do well enough to convert to .mid) and convert it in this way. Drums aren't even pitched!
I cannot believe this at all. It can't work...
Can it?
I need to try this- if it works as well as you say it does, I've been waiting or this for a very long time.
