Hi Joe,
It's not really possible to convert an Audio source file to a MIDI unless it is a very simple melody line played on a single instrument. There are programs available which are supposed to enable you to carry out this type of conversion. Some time ago, just out of interest, I experimented with a few of these programs, but in my experience, they are basically a waste of time, money and effort.......
Just think about the complexity of the audio data produced by a recording of say a big band. Then imagine trying to isolate the sound of each instrument within the band, to the total exclusion of all the other instruments in the band, so that the sound from that single instrument can be converted to digital information, which could eventually produce a single MIDI channel. This same process would have to be running simultaneously for each instrument in the band - not really feasible....... even for a simple line-up of piano, bass and drums!
Bear in mind that a MIDI file does not contain any audio information - it is purely a set of digital instructions, which when fed to a MIDI compatible sound generation module, such as those found in most electronic musical keyboards and the sound cards of computers, will produce the actual audio sounds, related to the digital instructions.
