How to Turn Audio Tracks Into MIDI Tracks for Mac RTAs
Audio production is a complicated process, and getting everything just right takes some time and special equipment. Using a real time analyzer, RTA, aids in fine tuning recordings to sound just right in different environments, such as cars or nightclubs, without actually having to leave the studio to test the tracks in these places. Taking the audio tracks down to the pitch-centric MIDI format with the help of an RTA helps gauge exactly where the recording needs tweaking.
