The melody was a bit longer than I liked so I trimmed up the sequence and adjusted it for a 3/4 meter. After adjusting the melody to the right meter and pitch inside of the PRV, I set this to a Soft Synth within SONAR. ARA automatically kicked-in and converted it to MIDI instantly. By right-clicking in the track view, I loaded a MIDI Track and dropped the audio file directly onto it. Here’s a melody that I recorded off the top of my head by simply humming it to myself: SONAR X3’s ARA integration is a great tool for taking melodies and easily converting them to MIDI. Given that we live in a very digitized world, it’s easy to hum and capture a melody, and then email it to yourself or import it later for inspection. I know sound designers who always have a device ready for taking samples, and guitarists that hum melodies to themselves when they feel they’ve come up with something original that they want to remember. Many musicians that I’ve worked with carry some sort of recorder around with them. As a musician, inspiration can hit you on the train, during dinner, or even while you’re driving somewhere.
