A MIDI sequencer is a device that records a song that you play on a MIDI instrument (or series of instruments) and uses the recorded data to play these instruments the same way that you did when you recorded them. It is more than just a glorified tape recorder, though. What gets recorded is not the sounds themselves, but the commands that you gave the MIDI electronic instruments that told them to play this or that note in this or that sequence with a particular tone, volume, pitch, timbre, etc. The recording takes the form of a series of numbers that, when translated into electronic form, cause the sequencer to send out electrical pulses that play back the composition just as you played it. Once these commands are recorded in digital form they can be modified in just about any way you like, so that you can keep adjusting your song any way you please without having to play the entire composition again every time you want to make a change. It’s sort of like the difference between a typewriter and a word processor in its ability to easily modify anything it records, including mistake you may have made during recording.

But it’s even better than that – a MIDI sequencer offers a degree of control over your recording that is unmatched. For example, when you play back digital audio at a higher speed, it changes not only the tempo but the timbre and the pitch as well, resulting in a distortion of the original sound. A MIDI sequencer will alter the tempo without changing either the timbre or the pitch (unless you want it to).

In fact, there are a million (or more) alterations you can make to your composition until you get it sounding just the way you want it to sound, and these alterations can be made either real time (during playback) or you can stop playback and re-arrange each note individually using a display that includes symbols representing every aspect of your recording.

That song you just heard isn’t leaving you alone? Try as you may, it keeps making you hum it? Don’t hold yourself back – in fact try adding a new facet to that musical feeling. How about adding some background music to support your voice? How good would it feel to dedicate that beautiful song to someone you love so much. How wonderful it would be, if you could make a private album of your favorite songs and gift it to your beloved. If you have been longing for these little things, music recording is the perfect solution. Whether music is your hobby, passion or profession, it is the answer to your ever growing need of albums and CDs in your collection. Mind you – music recording is serious business nowadays. With all that freeware available on the internet, you too can have a party without spending a fortune.

Music recording comes with various options. Digital music recording is the new revolution in the music world. With high quality digital music recording, you can get the best output without any distortion or loss of quality. You can get rid of irritants such as reverberating echoes and background noise by using this simple technology while recording music. Sheer excitement of recording your favorite songs and albums and gifting the same to someone you love is something you will cherish all your life. Just try it once and see the great bonding and reciprocity in love and affection of your beloved one that you have been longing for quite some time.

You can also download music available in different digital formats like MP3, WMA and OGG and play it to perfection in your PCs, home audio systems or in your car stereos. The best part is that many of your favorite albums are also available for free on internet and add to the pleasure quotient.

Digital music recording technology allows you to use your home computer (and for that matter even your office one, if your boss is considerate) for recording, fiddling and editing music. By adding software and boards, you can convert your simple and down to earth PC to digital multi track recorder. Minimum PC configurations recommended are 128 MB of RAM and 10 GB of HDD. Not a big deal considering that most of the present generation PCs come with a minimum of 512 MB RAM and 80 GB of hard disk. You can add a high quality digital sound card, software such as Power Tracks Pro Audio, N-Track, CD-R, SAW etc. to make it a complete multi track digital recorder, having the latest sound editing and audio ripping features. Add zing to your music – just browse through a few websites and you can download most of the basic software and utilities without spending a penny.

Music recording also helps you in making a move in the high paying field of music and entertainment industry. You can start practicing as a disk jockey by recording and mixing your favorite party songs. You can modulate, add humor and give tidbits of information in between. It is fun and money at the same time and not many people can have that luxury.

So if you have any interest in music, recording the way to go. With numerous options and freeware available over internet, you can have the best of the lot without burning a hole in your pocket. Moreover, the thrill and excitement of doing things on your own is intoxicating. So make a little start now and you will love the long journey.
