| At Surfers Sound, as well as performing acoustic recording of instruments, voice, etc., we also record using "Midi". Programming Midi is a popular way of producing music for recording. Midi is used to produce the instrumental sounds on most hit records today. Midi enables an artist to produce quality instrument music for a demo or project at a relatively small cost, and with creative flexibility. Midifiles are a standardised form of using Midi. For the singer or instrumentalist, the least expensive way to make a demo of yourself performing is to obtain backing tracks. We can obtain inexpensive backing tracks for you by purchasing "Midifiles" from various sources. These are usually suitable for most demo's. We also write or programme Midi music ourselves. This gives a more superior sound, as the programming of the Midi data is optimised to suit more playback, equipment and performance options. We can arrange and program music for originals or cover versions of existing tunes. For Midi programming and recording, we use Cubase VST . This provides accurate synchronization of up to 128 Midi tracks with unlimited audio tracks. (8 simultaneous audio record tracks). If you want a "release quality" sound, this is the way to go. |
