When starting out with production it can be hard to translate the ideas you have in your head into real music, especially when you have loads of inspiration. Even experienced producers sometimes spend a lot of time crafting the exact melody they have imagined. Wouldnβt it be easy if you could just sing, whistle or hum your melody, and use that in your projects? Well, actually.. you can! Below Iβll provide you with a few possibilities in FL Studio helping you to bring your ideas to life.
Resynthesis using Harmor
- Load an instance of Harmor in your project
- Go to the βImage Sectionβ of Harmor by clicking on βIMGβ
- Find the vocal sample you want to use, and drag and drop it onto Harmor.
- Congratulations, you have now resynthesized your vocal!
Now you can go crazy with effects such as the harmonizer, pitch and other possibilities harmor has to offer you 
Your voice to midi using NewTone
- Record your voice or humming. Either in an external program or Edison. Save the file and load it up or drag the recording into NewTone.
- Newtone will now analyse the file and show your recording in its piano roll.
- In NewTone, click on the βFileβ icon and select βSave as MIDIβ
- Congratulations, you have now converted your vocal recording into a MIDI file!
You can also choose to send the MIDI data to a βPiano Rollβ or onto the MIDI clipboard, so you can use it in your project directly.
