# 4 DAW habits that don't carry over to a browser Audio to MIDI tool

1. **Dropping in a full mix.** It cannot split a mix; feed it one instrument or one voice.
2. **Expecting chord names.** It writes notes into a single-track standard MIDI file, not chord symbols.
3. **Uploading the whole song.** Clips run up to 2 minutes on desktop and 45 seconds on mobile, files up to 80 MB.
4. **Hunting for a sign-up.** None needed: the polyphonic model runs in your browser tab, free, and the file stays on your device.

Modes are Clean Melody, Chords and Full Mix. Try the [free Audio to MIDI converter](https://musicgeneratorai.ai/audio-to-midi) or the [MusicGeneratorAI](https://musicgeneratorai.ai/) generator.

## Summary
This browser-based audio to MIDI tool requires single-instrument files rather than full mixes and imposes specific duration and file size limits. It functions as a free, sign-up free service that outputs standard MIDI files instead of chord symbols.

## Themes
- Audio to MIDI conversion
- Browser based music tools
- DAW workflow limitations
- Tool usage constraints

## Key takeaways
- The tool cannot separate individual instruments from a full mix file.
- Output is provided as a standard MIDI file containing notes rather than chord symbols.
- Desktop uploads are limited to 2 minutes or 80 MB, while mobile uploads are limited to 45 seconds.
- The tool requires no user sign up and performs all processing locally on the device.
- The software offers three distinct processing modes: Clean Melody, Chords, and Full Mix.

## Insights
- The tool prioritizes local privacy by processing files directly within the browser tab rather than on a remote server.
- Users often mistakenly apply traditional DAW mixing workflows to specialized AI conversion tools that lack multi-track separation capabilities.
- The service distinguishes itself from similarly named competitors to avoid brand confusion.

## Open questions / gaps
- What is the specific accuracy rate of the polyphonic model when processing complex audio files?
