I'm looking to convert MP3s and WAV files to MIDI format, and then to convert the MIDI onto sheet music. Does anyone know of any cheap but reliable software that I can download for Macs? I'm hoping I can find a free simple converter software to download but I don't know of any. I just need to be able to have scores of songs quickly without having to recreate them myself completely using a notation software. I searched on the Web but most were only for Windows.

It just cant be done. Such software only exists for converting monophonicsaudio tracks to midi, but not full songs.

You'd rather buy scores tongue.gif

I haven't tried it myself but you may be able to do this with Sibelius.
However, you can't download it and it ain't cheap. unsure.gif

I'm surprised that there is no software that can take a very simple midi file and convert it to sheet music. Well then do you know of any cheap or free software where I can just play on my MIDI keyboard that would transfer to a score? I don't want to spend too much to buy like Sibelius or Finale but I'm basically trying to make my life easier to transfer simple songs onto a score. I have a whole bunch of songs that are not available in a score that I have to arrange for my a cappella group and it's so time consuming to add vocal percussion parts, and five other vocal parts from a 5 minute song onto a score... Anyone have any easier recommendation than typing parts note by note?

I guess I misunderstood what it was you are looking for. If you are looking for an ap that will convert mp3's or waves to midi, there are none that will work all that well, expecially songs with multiple parts.
If you want a program to convert midi to score Metro 6 will do that. Tey do have a demo available.

As far as MIDI to score, there's nothing to rival Sibelius IMHO, although you may find you have to do some 'tidying up'. It's the MP3 to midi aspect that you won't manage.

Although you could try Melody Assistant (from myraid software) - not free, but affordable! But it won't do the mp3 bit ......

Even a simple score is a fairly complex document. The best way to handle this is with either Finale or Sibelius. If you regularly write for a specific ensemble, create a template that includes everything except the notes and title. Import the MIDI file into a separate document and cut and paste the notes into the template. As noted below, you will still have to edit the notes. You can also play the notes into the template, though I find the various step-time entry methods to be quicker. While Sibelius is probably more intuitive for the beginner, Finale does offer some scaled down versions that are less expensive.
