These midi converters never work all that well.

And forget about polyphony. I can only guess what this one is going to do with someone who isn't a perfect singer.
It has been available your whole life. I tried a voice to midi box from Yamaha in 1993 and software only version existed also back then with a mike cnnected to your PC soundcard, though with less functionality than what is shown here.
It’ll be cool if there was an option where you can choose specific notes you want, so that it auto correct toward them. Because I can’t sing beatbox or put notes in well. Something like the key and stickiness but better. And if I sing a wrong note, it’ll autocorrect it to make it either more fluid or goes to the closes correct note you feel me? That’ll be epic
@@FishyDaGamer - it actually does! I've really researched this thing b/c it just seems amazing... If you choose a scale, it will ignore all notes that are not in scale.

@@looserdev lmao all you need to know how to do is use a DAW, route midi information, and have composition ideas. The commenter is basically saying that they aren't particularly skilled at playing/recording an instrument or using a midi controller, so this technology could really help them. There's no need to judge people on their process just because you work a different way.
Well except for the USB connector used on the mic. Thats one old connector type in my book. But honestly looking at the options they have i think it is a design choice for sturdiness. Plus i don’t think it would require that much bandwidth.
this is single-handedly the greatest breakthrough in music production since the creation of the DAW. My mind is blown because the possibilities are endless. You no longer need a midi keyboard or midi controllers as much. And now your production time can be cut in half.
@@JVJF7 Nobody said you _had_ to use this alone. tools like this are best used in combination with others. You wouldn't have to sing a 7th chord, you could just use the piano roll for that one chord if required. Even if you have to do _some_ manual work, it's still faster than doing _all_ manual work.
Oh. My. God. I found out that Michael Jackson used to make his demos all based in voice sounds because he didn't know how to play any instruments. Imagine if he had this!
Yeah I feel this, before I got into music production I remember thinking to myself that 100 dollars was a lot for a pair of headphones and now recently I went to get a new pair for on the go work and I was like "$299? What a steal!"
In Ableton there is an option on audio tracks to 'create drum/melody/harmony midi track' (just right click). This is integrated in your daw and does exactly what this software does. You can create chords out of this midi and stay in key using the midi effects integrated in your DAW.

@@itspodin But is it as flexible? Is it as accurate? Is it ass effecent? If you really wanted, you don't even need to buy a midi controller to make music, you can draw in notes with your mouse just as well most of the time. But playing with a midi controller is more expressive and human, more efficcient, and in turn good for the creative process, and often more fun. You could manually record your melodies with a microphone, extract the midi out one by one, and drag them to their appropriate tracks, but that's not nearly as fun, efficient, or accurate as this device, which does all that good stuff in real time, like an actual instrment. Not to mention this device also tracks your formants to macros to control other parameters, which makes this thing even more expressive and powerful.

OH MY GOD. I have literally been contemplating for months now that I have so many amazing ideas that are hard to lay down in a project since I have to identify the key I am singing, find the right note in the piano roll, make the melody manually; all because I have terrible piano skills. This will directly solve the issue I have had for years. WORTH IT

You can do this without midi using a second hand Boss SY-1 and a mic. Trouble is Boss SY-1 is holding it's value second hand I'm afraid. Might get lucky tho. :) See my comment reply to the Yetfilms dude above for more info. Forgot to mention..It won't do drums tho, only bass and synth lead.
@@TheOfficialCzex yes, it can. But it's can't do it in realtime, it's SUPER important to beatboxers and singers, also it can't recognize formats, learn from your sounds for midi mapping, and many other functions are also not available
Have tried doing voice-to-midi with one of Reaper's built-in tools (ReaTune). Can confirm it's harder than one would expect, because of voice "pitchiness". Fun though.
It'd be nice if Reaper had a clip view in addition to its timeline view, but I haven't found that to be a huge issue in practice. The really nice thing is how the entire program is customizable almost without limit. It offers some defaults, but the main value is how the user configures it to meet their needs. It's like a build-your-own-DAW toolkit with a default theme to use as a starting point. So I can totally see how that would be uninviting, depending on the user. Most people want stuff to just work. But for a programmer or someone who really likes to customize things in detail, it's the most inviting DAW around.
"MIDI guitar 2" is an ipad app that can transform any input (not just guitar also vocals,...) into the corresponding midi output. Might be a good cheaper option. Controlling a synth with voice worked reasonably well ;) EDIT: ok I tried it and it doesn't work with vocals as good as I remembered :D works good with guitar though.
@@robertodumitru8716 I'm not sure garageband has MIDI routing, I'm pretty sure that at least mobile garageband hasn't, so you'd be limited to the internal synth/piano/guitar sounds. If you want to use an ipad, cubasis would be the way to go,or if you just want to experiment and don't need a full DAW, AUM is your friend.
the weirdest piece of gear... Andrew Huang himself, limited edition manufactured bio acoustic pyro conducive 🔥 only available on the blackest of markets ♥️
In High School, 1990, we had a box with a MIDI port and a mic connector that translated sound frequencies into MIDI notes. Such devices have been around probably since the early days of MIDI. Also, with dance music you definitely want a groove, a feel, swing... NOT perfectly quantized as that feels too boring. House has tons of swing to the timing of notes...
I remember thinking "what if" about this type of invention years ago, and then someone went and did it! YES!!! The bane of musicians is having this quick idea that's in their head and then needing to get it out of their head as accurately and quickly as possible without losing it, and at the same time, the tedium of using technology often makes you forget what something sounded like in your head that first time you came up with it. Then you just lose it! That is why these kinds of inventions are always welcome. You can always record rhythms in your voice immediately and then change it up later.
It's cool, but this can definitely be done with software alone if you've already got good (or even half decent) mics. Probably some cheaper alternatives too... But yeah, I really do enjoy the concept in general, a potentially useful additional tool to a producer's arsenal, even if you're just wanting to try put yourself out of your comfort zone.
I always heard it as "boots and pants" instead of "boots and cats." Also, I'd like to hear the full acapella version of this track, with all your recording sessions dubbed together..
Accurate and fast pitch recognition is very hard to do. It can be done with software, but not in real time, because it's slow. This microphone doesn't only do pitch detection either, it also detects the vowel sound you're making. Specialized hardware can do this job much, much faster than computer software, which is why you can't really do real-time midi conversions without special hardware (like the fishman tripleplay for guitar)
Ahh ok this tool is more powerful with the recognition of drums and sounds, with ableton you could only get a note from pitch of your voice, seems to be a nice tool...
Sometimes it's just nice to have these immaterial things like software embodied in a tangible tool. Similarly to how you _could_ read e-books on your phone, but many people chose to read them on Kindles which can do nothing but that.
Andrew im not gona, lie ive been waiting for you to make a video on this ima use this to. Im new to music production so being able to beatbox my beats and what not i feel as though would be so much simpler. I now have to buy it due to this lmao i love you and keep doing you man! love your videos!

@@TheOfficialCzex yes, it can. But it's can't do it in realtime, it's SUPER important to beatboxers and singers, also it can't recognize formats, learn from your sounds for midi mapping, and many other functions are also not available
Have tried doing voice-to-midi with one of Reaper's built-in tools (ReaTune). Can confirm it's harder than one would expect, because of voice "pitchiness". Fun though.
Reaper is a really cool DAW but the interface (to me, anyway) isn't the most inviting haha.
It'd be nice if Reaper had a clip view in addition to its timeline view, but I haven't found that to be a huge issue in practice.
The really nice thing is how the entire program is customizable almost without limit. It offers some defaults, but the main value is how the user configures it to meet their needs. It's like a build-your-own-DAW toolkit with a default theme to use as a starting point.
So I can totally see how that would be uninviting, depending on the user. Most people want stuff to just work. But for a programmer or someone who really likes to customize things in detail, it's the most inviting DAW around.
"MIDI guitar 2" is an ipad app that can transform any input (not just guitar also vocals,...) into the corresponding midi output. Might be a good cheaper option. Controlling a synth with voice worked reasonably well ;) EDIT: ok I tried it and it doesn't work with vocals as good as I remembered :D works good with guitar though.
Can i do that with garageband?!?
@@robertodumitru8716 I'm not sure garageband has MIDI routing, I'm pretty sure that at least mobile garageband hasn't, so you'd be limited to the internal synth/piano/guitar sounds. If you want to use an ipad, cubasis would be the way to go,or if you just want to experiment and don't need a full DAW, AUM is your friend.
This is really a great review, thank you
amazing tool for producers who beat box, i personally like that
When he started and it played the actual drums I lost my mind
the weirdest piece of gear... Andrew Huang himself, limited edition manufactured bio acoustic pyro conducive 🔥 only available on the blackest of markets ♥️
live jungle show with this would be sick
very cool! I've played with Audio to Midi in Ableton, but the software here is waaaaaaay better for this. Thanks for the demo Andrew.
This is so awesome!
In High School, 1990, we had a box with a MIDI port and a mic connector that translated sound frequencies into MIDI notes. Such devices have been around probably since the early days of MIDI. Also, with dance music you definitely want a groove, a feel, swing... NOT perfectly quantized as that feels too boring. House has tons of swing to the timing of notes...
Andrew became Beardyman!
Beatboxing an amen break is like a break core artist's wet dream.
Yes
Yes

This is nuts. About 10 years ago I was imagining something like this, and the possibilities. Just wow.
I got this mic as an ad last night and it looks super interesting. This video did a pretty great job at showcasing it, I'm even more interested now.

Vinesauce Joel's John Cena midis, anyone?
1:58 : when you're a drum kit
I remember thinking "what if" about this type of invention years ago, and then someone went and did it! YES!!!
The bane of musicians is having this quick idea that's in their head and then needing to get it out of their head as accurately and quickly as possible without losing it, and at the same time, the tedium of using technology often makes you forget what something sounded like in your head that first time you came up with it. Then you just lose it!
That is why these kinds of inventions are always welcome. You can always record rhythms in your voice immediately and then change it up later.
This has been something I've been looking for for years!!! I was super excited when NI's 'The Mouth' came out, but this looks perfect!
It's cool, but this can definitely be done with software alone if you've already got good (or even half decent) mics. Probably some cheaper alternatives too...
But yeah, I really do enjoy the concept in general, a potentially useful additional tool to a producer's arsenal, even if you're just wanting to try put yourself out of your comfort zone.
I always heard it as "boots and pants" instead of "boots and cats."
Also, I'd like to hear the full acapella version of this track, with all your recording sessions dubbed together..
You'll love this then.

okay yessssss, but why do I need a whole microphone? this seems like something that could be don't purely with software?
it would be
Accurate and fast pitch recognition is very hard to do. It can be done with software, but not in real time, because it's slow. This microphone doesn't only do pitch detection either, it also detects the vowel sound you're making. Specialized hardware can do this job much, much faster than computer software, which is why you can't really do real-time midi conversions without special hardware (like the fishman tripleplay for guitar)
@@frise6183 have you tried if its possible with ableton?
Ahh ok this tool is more powerful with the recognition of drums and sounds, with ableton you could only get a note from pitch of your voice, seems to be a nice tool...
Sometimes it's just nice to have these immaterial things like software embodied in a tangible tool. Similarly to how you _could_ read e-books on your phone, but many people chose to read them on Kindles which can do nothing but that.
Andrew im not gona, lie ive been waiting for you to make a video on this ima use this to. Im new to music production so being able to beatbox my beats and what not i feel as though would be so much simpler. I now have to buy it due to this lmao i love you and keep doing you man! love your videos!
Wow! A couple of years ago, I sponsored a project on kickstarter named imitone. But honestly, I've never been able to make it work properly. So if this "Dubler Studio kit" works like you described, it's really a big step forward and definitely worth the try! Thanks for your video man!
I've literally been waiting almost a year for you to review this before I decided to buy it lol
🤯❤️
@@VochleaMusic
When I first saw it on Kick Starter I was 🤯🤯🤯!!! Your product was literally going to solve every problem I had at the time... But I was low on 💲💲💲...
However, because of your product I was inspired to learn about how to create/program VSTs ... And MAN it's a lot of work for someone who doesn't code... You must have an amazing team of people to create a product like this! Kudos to you guys!
5:48 is very specifically background music for "How it's Made".
Ha yes!!
Before you know it you'll be able to use your mind to make music.
Yes, actually
Don’t wooosh me, but, Technically you are using your mind
I WAS SEARCHING THIS AND HOPE IT EXISTS FOR TOO LONG, I LOVE YOU TANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
you just made my day with this i've dreamt about this tool for so long. Grabing one now
