Recording MIDI involves using a MIDI controller (keyboard, keytar, drums, Flute) in conjunction with a MIDI sequencer to create a MIDI file. This MIDI data contains all of the aspects of your performance that makes it unique (the pitch, length, velocity of the notes).

Hope that helps.

How do you use the Casio ct 650 for midi recording?

To use the Casio CT-650 for MIDI recording, connect the keyboard to your computer or MIDI interface using a USB or MIDI cable. Ensure that the necessary drivers are installed and that your digital audio workstation (DAW) recognizes the keyboard. Set the CT-650 to MIDI mode, select the desired sound or instrument, and then arm a track for recording in your DAW. Once ready, play the keyboard, and your performance will be captured as MIDI data for further editing and arrangement.

Why do midi files need less space than a audio recording of the same music?

MIDI files only have the notes of the performance. It is up to the sound card or program to make the actual sound. For example, to play one note of a piano sound for one second in mono at CD quality, a WAV audio file needs 44100 bytes of information. A MIDI file can do it in 14 bytes.


How do you make a backing track?

Here's what you need:1: MIDI File sound module2: MIDI sequencing program3: MIDI keyboard controller4: PC, MAC or IOS tablet (iPad, Galaxy etc)5: USB or MIDI Interface6: Professional and licensed MIDI Files7: Audio InterfaceConnect a MIDI File sound module (like the Merish PLUS) or a MIDI synthesizer to a computer, iPad or other tablet via a MIDI interface like the Edirol UM and many other affordable interfaces. These are available at your local musical instrument store.The other part set up is a good MIDI sequencing program.For MAC, we recommend checking out Logic Express, Logic Studio or Cubase. For PC, try Sonar or Cubase. Mac users who want to do serious work with MIDI should not use Garageband. It's free but lacks the essential editing windows (like an event editor, score page) needed to create and tweak a MIDI File. Most sequencing programs include generous sound sample libraries. Use these to compliment sounds from a MIDI module or use them on their own.If you are using a MIDI sound module, then adding a MIDI controller keyboard will make entering MIDI data and playing in parts a breeze.The Audio Interface is the lifeline between your MIDI gear and your sequencing program. There are lots of good audio interfaces including M-Audio, Fireface, Roland Quad Capture, M-Box, Avid and many others.Load the MIDI File into the sequencing program and make the appropriate edits. Most sequencing programs will bounce the file to a stereo audio file (MP3, WAV, AAC etc), otherwise open a program like Audacity or Soundforge and record in real time to the audio program. Before recording, check the sound levels are good. After recording, normalize to 98% (just below clipping) and keep 2 seconds of silence at the top and tail of the audio file.Save the file first as a WAV file. if you want to save as an MP3, do so after saving the WAV file and save at 320kbps CBR 9Constant Bit Rate). Some audio programs include VBR (Variable Bit Rate) but do not use this setting. it will result in a poorer quality audio file.Where to get your gear?MIDI Files: You get legal and licensed MIDI Files guaranteed to work and already formatted to 'Load & Play' in any General MIDI device.MIDI File Player: Professional quality MIDI File Players are available and recommended if you want to use MIDI sounds as part of the recording. Do a web search for 'midi mp3 backing track player' to view the current models available by various companies.Software: For Logic, visit the Apple store. For Cubase, Sonar, go to their respective web sites for a dealer in your area.MIDI Keyboard Controller and USB/MIDI interface - From your local music store.Audio Interface - from your local Music store hi-tech/studio section

How do you convert mp3 files to midi files?

Short answer is you cant. Think of an mp3 as a recorded act of music, and a midi as a piece of sheet music. The only way to convert would be to listen to the mp3, and create a midi from what you hear. There are things called pitchriders that can convert a simple sound like a single guitar string or a note from a clarinet into a midi note number, but these are simple waveforms. An mp3 recording of a song is a very complex waveform which would confuse a pitchrider.
