![]() I played around a bit with the microKORG, and tried to get through some of its manual- without much success- but nevertheless I had also bought iLife '06 and the M-Audio Midisport "Uno" MIDI controller (which I eventually figured I could hook up to my old Yamaha to use it as a keyboard software controller through MIDI) and bought the proper outs to go iinto my mic input to record my microKORG. So a couple of years ago in deciding I wanted to get back into writing/recording music, I bought the microKORG on the heels of its great reviews and inexpensive price, being a complete beginner to playing a real synth, and having no experience in software music making/recording, or even any experience making music at all in nearly 20 years. I've got a 1.8GHz Intel Mac Mini and M-Audio's Midisport "Uno" USB MIDI interface, and am just now trying to learn how the microKORG synth functions (I bought it a couple of years ago after only having experience about 15 or 20 years ago playing piano and writing a few songs with a Yamaha PSR-90 with a built in Ram-tape multitrack recorder, just using preprogrammed or sometimes programming rhythms and almost exclusively using the "Strings" orchestra voice, including when I got together one time and wrote some songs nearly 20 years ago with a friend who played acoustic guitar, with him coming up with some strumming techniques, but with me mainly telling him what chords to play, plus writing lyrics and singing- making a laughable, nowhere near professional attempt at recording it all live into a boom box with a built-in mic for a tape recorder, with us playing and singing a couple of feet in front of it. ![]() Please, I would appreciate anyone's advice who's willing to read my story.

It might be limited by the lack of polyphony. A simple hardware sequencer like the Beatstep Pro is a great way to work with electronic instruments old and new. While, most of us have a few synths, grooveboxes, samplers, or drum machines lying around, there isn’t always an easy way to sync them up. Let’s look at some options you can try at home. As both mixing and mastering engineers favour the flexibility of software-based workflows, there is still room to focus on how exactly the music is made. Today, there is very little music made without a DAW. In short, things got done, and magnetic tape wizards like Butch Vig produced many an album without the help of a DAW. It all depended on the aptitude of the engineer, who was often on the clock with pressure from the record company and reputations at stake. But when it came down to it, the actual recording, mixing, and mastering stages were relatively breezy. Of course, there were bands like Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd who were known for having a lengthy creative process. From the now, seemingly archaic era of acoustic recording to the years of magnetic tape, the records were always made quickly. If we look at record production from a historical perspective, however, it was never a slow process. But, does this guarantee a creatively fulfilling experience? That’s what we’re here to discuss.Īnother immediate argument that arises is that using a DAW system allows you to work faster than previous music production mediums, and for the most part this is true when it comes to the average home user. We can all agree that software offers more flexibility than hardware, there’s no doubt about it. ![]()
