So it turns out that ChatGPT can't generate sheet music from audio. I assume it could given that it can generate LilyPond files. So I have to use some specialized tool to generate MIDI files for instrument conversion.
The AI tools are all proprietary and are subscription-based. My only other option is some online MP3 to MIDI converter.
It shouldn't be too hard because all I need is to record a short fanfare for my game. I already have a kazoo ordered which I will use to record it and then convert the thing to MIDI so it can be played with better instruments.
So it looks like the plan to record a fanfare with a kazoo and convert it to midi to play with better instruments didn't work out.
Most online audio to MIDI converters suck and the ones that don't are proprietary and expensive. They add extra notes to the outputted MIDI files and no matter what instrument you use to play the file, it sounds terrible.
Not to mention that playing the kazoo is actually a skill in of itself. I thought it was the easiest instrument, but it took me a while to realize that you are actually supposed to hum into it and not blow in it.
But it turns out that there is a decent FOSS desktop program known as NeuralNote. It it's 100x better than those subpar web apps because it doesn't output any artifact notes.
And here is the result, recomposed as a full orchestra. This is based off of a victory screech my siblings and I would make when we accomplished something or received something good.

@xianc78 it sounds a little bit sad
also i would maybe listen to a metronome while you're kazooing
@beardalaxy Yeah, I'm not using it. I need to come up with something better but my head always associates certain situations with copyrighted songs that it's hard for me to come up with something original.
But now that I think of it, it doesn't really fit as a level complete fanfare.
