Hi, I know this probably sounds like a stupid question to all you MIDI heads in here but here goes anyway...
I'm used to working with audio. My studios been up and running for a few months and a band have asked me to do their album for them. They use backing tracks whilst gigging and want me to use them in the album. Problem is, i've never worked with MIDI before. Sounds unbelieveable but there it is! I'm only in the recording business for about two years and I've avoided it up to now. The time has come to face up to it.
I'm using Digital Performer. Interface is a MOTU 2408. I need a MIDI Interface, right? I've got a Mac so something like a MidiSport 2 X 2?
Can anyone recommend some good reading on learning MIDI really quick?!
The band want to manipulate some of the MIDI tracks that they have. Like, they dont want the banjo on certain tracks! Or, they want more reverb on whatever...
Should I change everything into audio? Major confusion here!
Would appreciate any replies. Cheers!
Mari
