Awhile back, my church's worship leader tried some other WAV to MIDI 
conversion program (also Windows based, since that's what he runs). It 
did a good job of turning pitches into notes, but the result was 
completely useless in our opinion. Every note in the piece was on the 
same score, instruments were not recognized as separate instruments, 
etc. We thought that perhaps processing the original wave through 
filters to produce separate frequency ranges might help isolate certain 
  instruments, but finally decided that the old-fashioned transcribing 
by repeated listening was more effective.
