tbh i am starting to think i am tone deaf or something. i try time and time again to make midis from reference, or fix a messed up melody, and i never ever get the notes right. i might get one, but its just constant fiddling. maybe i just cant get it right because the original voice doesnt sound like the synth or piano sound "enough" for me to think its actually correct? idk. its a shame bc im around so many musically inclined ppl, i love music, i know what sounds good! but referencing audio to make midis by ear? just doesnt happen. the only reason i have successfully made original music isnt bc i did it by ear- i only had stuff sounding right because i was constantly referencing a list of notes of a scale i chose, so.
