So for the longest time (ever since I've been mixing, recording, engineering) I have always did things as organic and acoustically "real" as possible. I've never been the guy to put in things in post production via MIDI/Virtual Instruments.
Last night my buddy and I had a long talk about this sorta thing... He went to school for audio production and was exposed to a bunch of MIDI programs and usage. He urged me to make the leap and get a MIDI device to and start experimenting with some of our songs. I have some nice samples and some cool Virtual Instruments that come with Pro Tools. So I fought it and I fought it, but about 3 hrs and $250 later I came home with an M-Audio Oxygen 49 and some software .
So my question to you guys is... what do you think about recording, mixing, editing, producing MIDI WITH Organics? Do you prefer all organic instruments or more MIDI for projects? Is it just a great filler to make songs sound better, or do you guys think it makes some things sound "fake"?
