to preface i am an absolute beginner and am not at all naturally musically inclined - i have never taken a class outside of the mandatory ones in elementary school or even so much as held an instrument, but i have always been a huge vocaloid fan and im really trying to get into making music starting with vocaloid songs/covers as a hobby!
with that being said, im not sure how to properly word this question as i dont know the difference between things like pitch, chords, notes, key etc, but im going to try my best -- when making vocal covers specifically, is there a way to figure out they key/notes of a vocal?
as in, how do i know where the notes of the song are supposed to be, in relation to the keyboard on the left? ive been trying to move around the notes and just sort of wing it by ear until it sounds "correct" (as in, my recreated vocals sound similar to the original song's), but that takes entirely too long and i have to do that for each "piece" of the song. i just feel like there has got to be an easier way to figure out how the vocals are "supposed" to sound, if that makes any sense.
i have tried using online midi converters, but of the few i have tried, the midis they spit out have notes that are all over the place (they end up looking like this) - this is the result i get even after i try to isolate the vocals in audacity (admittedly i can never get them fully isolated, so the instrumentals are still there, just very faint)
any and all tips at all would be super appreciated!! also i've posted this question in a few different subs as i'm not sure where this should go honestly. please feel free to point me in the direction of a better sub if need be! thank you in advance! :+)
