Thanks. The midi thing interests me. Prepare for another couple of really naive newbie questions.
I can read and write music. If I buy Logic is there a way of me writing a midi bass part in notation and adding it to an effect in Logic which would get round this issue?
Alternatively, i have a Roland electric piano which I believe can record midi files ( though I've never even tried this ) and I'm wondering if it would be easy to play the bass on that, and record as a midi track, put it into Logic and then use whatever bass amp sound I want. What do you say?
I know how to play a bass but I have hand issues which flare up and Im concerned the bass might aggravate this, hence me showing apprehension around the bass thing.
F.O.R.K! You have now "discovered" MIDI but have bought a 2i2! Ok, you can buy a MIDI to USB converter for $20 or so but I have read of problems with them in the past. Someone here has surely got a good 'un?
The Roland piano might be an answer (might even be a full blown MIDI interface. Model please) in that often they have a built in sequencer, basically a MIDI recorder. You get your tune right, save it then dump the data across to PC via USB.
"Such Fun!"
