Hi,
Indeed, I have learnt the basic process before going into this MIDI world. I
learnt to record, copy and paste, edit my recording and mix it, then transport
it into MP3 and WAV, but all related to audio. I feel totally different when I
learn about MIDI, especially when I heard about Softsynths and things related
to MIDI that audio recording doesn't have.
When I load a new project, the default is a project with 2 MIDI and 2 audio
tracks. This is what I always use. I usually delete the MIDI tracks when I
wanted to record with audio tracks. Now, I am totally new to MIDI world and I
still try to find ways about what I can do for the basic ones.
Thanks a lot for all suggestions that you all gave. I will begin from there. At
least I have description about what I should do.
Winy.
