So, assuming you're asking the question in the title of the topic, is there a free converter to .it from what? I don't know that you can convert to .it files from like, an MP3 or WAV, since my understanding of .it is that it's closer to music for a player piano, or directions for an orchestra, than to a recording, or audio file.
Good luck with your project though. Solarus definitely won't be as easy to learn as RPG Maker- that's because Solarus lets you do more and allows you more freedom. But I'd recommend starting with the map editor, and creating some basic overworld maps to start learning. The title screen you're describing is going to be much more complicated to make, and will involve a lot of coding and understanding of Lua. Just because it's the first thing you see when you boot up a commercial game doesn't mean it's the easiest thing to do.
I'd also recommend following Christopho's tutorials on youtube. It's a good place to start, and there's also a book that explains a lot about Solarus and can help you learn- it's available somewhere on the forums, you can search.
Making a game that's long is very hard and will probably take several years, so best of luck sticking to that!
