Export notes to your DAW
Turn a round of notes into markers for Pro Tools, Logic, REAPER and more.
Turn a version's notes into markers, so each one lands at the right spot in your session.
Export#
- Open the song's menu and choose Export notes.
- Pick a format (see below).
- Set the options, then download.
| Format | Use it for | How to bring it in |
|---|---|---|
| MIDI file (.mid) | Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo | See the steps below |
| REAPER markers (.csv) | REAPER | View > Region/Marker Manager, right-click, import |
| Audacity labels (.txt) | Audacity | File > Import > Labels |
| Notes list (.csv) | Spreadsheets, Ableton Live, any DAW | Open it like any spreadsheet |
Options#
- Song starts at: if the song doesn't start at 0:00 in your session, enter where it does (like 90, 1:30 or 1:00:00). Every marker shifts by that much.
- Session tempo (BPM): for MIDI files, so markers land on the right bar.
- Include resolved notes: off by default, so you only get what's still open.
- Include replies: on by default. Replies are added to their note's marker, or get their own row in the notes list.
Bringing a MIDI file into your DAW#
- Pro Tools: in a session with no markers yet, choose File > Import > MIDI, with Import Tempo Map From MIDI File turned on.
- Logic Pro: open the file with File > Open. It opens as a new project with the markers.
- Cubase and Nuendo: turn on Import Markers in Preferences > MIDI > MIDI File, then choose File > Import > MIDI File.
