One last thing I also often do is making sure I put the song itself, and the 3x Osc in separate mixing channels, so I can lower the volume of the song. This will turn your 3x Osc track into a midi track ^v^ If you don't do this, you'll end up with a blank midi file when importing it into UTAU >_< (Or at least, that's what happens to me whenever I export my midi's without the 'prepare for MIDI export' step) Watch out for those :0Īlso, if you wish to export your midi file, make sure you go to Tools > Macros > Prepare for MIDI export If the notes don't seem to fit into any of those lengths, you're probably doing something wrong ^^ Some songs like to throw in some 1/3rd notes though, so. Make sure you align the midi/piano roll in sync with the tapping of the metronome ^v^ Notes in songs usually are either an entire note lenght, 1/2nd, 1/4th, 1/8th, etc. I first usually determine the tempo of the song by using this pretty handy program called MixMeister BPM Analyzer ^^ 9 out of 10 times, it gives you the correct tempo ^^ Here's what I usually do whenever I midi:
I've made quite a couple of UST's using midi's I made in FL Studio before ^v^ So.
