RPM Challenge Log (Feb. 4) - MIDI MIDI MIDI!
The collaboration with Michael is already paying off in spades. Saturday, he arrived with some software courtesy BitTorrent, and after a couple hours we were off to the races.
Welcome to MIDI! I always knew it would be fun, but not this fun! I had bought the Edirol UM-1X MIDI interface (USB) so I could attempt to hook my MIDI-compatibles (a Yamaha P-80 and a Boss Dr. Rhythm) up to my PC at some point. Now, we can record MIDI tracks right alongside the raw audio tracks in Sonar 4 (can Adobe Audition even do this we wonder?). Fabulous.
With the help of a couple Edirol plugins, a whole new sound palette has come alive for us. We continued work on “The Condition You Describe” with one of the bass sounds, and got a start on a song called “Grand Theft.”
I love MIDI.
