- I can certainly record my own music, the MIDI doesn't
sound that bad on my synthesizer
- What do you do differently than a typical studio?
- Do your recordings sound as good as an "actual"
performance?
You may be able to record your own music with your synthesizer, but no
synthesizer can give you CD quality music. If you decide that your own
recording system is just "good enough" for your compositions, then you are
underestimating the power of "CD quality" and its influencing factors. I
have every professional tool that is necessary to create a high quality
recording.
I focus on digital music (MIDI), not live music. Live music, obviously
sounds live, and better than your traditional MIDI....however my digital music
recording system can record MIDI music to sound just as live....with many more
benefits. This MIDI recording enables me to record music you never thought
you could get recorded. Another benefit is that my recordings are
extremely flexible. I can make it play EXACTLY the way you want, as fast,
as slow, as loud as you want.
This depends on the type of music it is, and the quality of your MIDI file.
For rock, pop, rap, some jazz...it most certainly can sound like an actual
performance. A piano solo can DEFINITELY sound as good as an actual
performance. A string quartet can sound pretty convincing, so can a
woodwind quartet. As for big orchestral works.....I can get them to sound
pretty good, and for the most part, a recording can trick an average listener
into thinking it was a real recording.....but there is still no way an emulated
MIDI file can sound as good as a real symphony. And I don't know of any
studio that will record live a symphony for you, without breaking your wallet.
