Midi to Maxi Week 1

MIDI to Maxi

Today we talked about the importance of recording and what running a studio session entails. Some important points were:


  • Recording is fun
  • Music sounds better when recorded well
  • More creativity
  • More originality
Some of the things we will look at are:

  • Mic Techniques (XY, OTFR and Blumlein)
  • Mic Types
  • Mic Placement
  • Signal Flow
  • Sound selection (musical aesthetic)




Each of you have been asked to choose minimum two songs up to 3 and decide what parts you would like to record.


For next week:


  • Pic 3 songs and decide on at least 3 instruments for each to replace the MIDI parts.
  • If you do not already have songs create 3 loops 4-8 bars for next week.
  • Talk about them on your blog with a snippet and say which of  the 3 instruments you will replace with a screenshot showing them in your project.
