Songwriting Habits - Using Midi

Midi stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is where you can create some really good instrument sounds through software such as GarageBand and Logic. What makes it even better is that you can manipulate notes, change durations and alter the sounds once you have recorded them. This gives a songwriter so much more scope in manipulating sounds and creating really good backings for their songs.

I’ve created a quick introduction video in how to use midi. (My apologies for some of the background noise, my husband decided to start washing up half way through….not that I’m complaining…)

Nothing can really top a recording of a live performance, however, Midi can be used in the creation of some really beautiful and professional backing tracks.
