Many home studio enthusiasts shudder at the thought of using MIDI. They don't have any idea what it's all about or why they would benefit from hooking up to their computer with a music keyboard via MIDI. Today, MIDI is easy to interface and the pluses are numerous.
I first began using MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, in 1992 when I began squencing music using Master Tracks Pro on a Mac Plus computer. With the help of a sync box, I would synchronize my computerized song sequences with my portable cassette multitracker. Instead of recording only four tracks, or suffer signal degradation by bouncing three tracks down to one for a total of five or six tracks, I could record five, six or seven tracks via MIDI and blend it with my cassette tracks. With a total of eight or nine total tracks, my songs started sounding more professional.
