Yup. Like the topic says. Now, does anyone how I blend sounds? I'd like to mix up bird songs with some of my keyboard pieces.

Audacity is a free music editing program that will do mixing.Just google for it.

Audacity is great. You need a program that can do multitrack recording. You import your keyboard as a track, then import the bird sounds and mix.

OK! thanks you two!

As this is a topic for noobs, here is one.

Is there a program out there (free) that will take in one track (wav midi mp3 ) , and turn the notes in to musical notation. you know that thing with 6 lines.

Google for these 2 programs "midi2abc" command line program converts midi to abc and "AbcNavigator 2" converts abc to proper music notation and will print it. Both free.

For MIDI, yes.

.Mid files are basically the "schematics" of a song - it contains note position, pitch, length, velocity, and also what MIDI instrument and channel each note uses. It actually contains no audio information. It uses whatever sounds are assigned to it (when a MIDI file is played in Windows Media Player, it uses the default sound set provided by Windows or your sound card software).
Think of MIDI as blueprint, and the WAV or MP3 as the final product. I don't know of any way to extract the same information from WAV or MP3 files, other than transcribing it yourself.
