MIDI - Posted on 2016-02-29 by Raymond Flores

in this chapter we talked about MIDI and how the data is transferred. i learned that MIDI is only data and not sound! i didnt know that even though i have already been working with MIDI in other DAWS. even though i dont plan on using pro tools for production, we were tasked to complete a beat using pro tools free plugins (structure, boom, and xpand). the sounds on these plugins are very mediocre to me but i didnt do much processing on them which was probably why. recording MIDI in pro tools is a bit more difficult than any other DAWS which is why i am not planning on using it to produce. but it is always good to learn new things! my beat sounded so bad but this lesson was more about getting familiar with pro tools than production so i didnt put too much thought to the actual sound.
