Can I sing into Ableton Live using microphone?

Hello, everyone

I am an amateur, mostly using sequencers

However, I am using Ableton Live Suite as a beginner
So, sorry for this question here

May I ask:
Can I input notes or something into voice track using microphone (my own voice) directly?
I have several songs in my mind and want to convert them into notes on the voice staffs (not as audio files)

Thank you

If you mean something that would transcribe your singing (or other monophonic audio input) to MIDI in real time, then no, I'm not aware of any such feature.

@OP: Just to be clear, when I said I wasn't aware of such a feature, I was just talking about features within Ableton. As noted above, you may be able to find something third-party.

Melodyne software will do this, but it doesn't come with Ableton. You will have to add it. There are probably other softwares that will do it, but the most reliable one seems to be Melodyne.

OP seems to want real-time conversion, Melodyne is not real-time.

Real time, there is stuff like MIDI Guitar and Imitone, and an M4L device with the same MIDI Guitar name.
