What are the disadvantages of MIDI?

MIDI has several disadvantages, including its limited audio quality since it relies on digital signals to represent music rather than actual sound waves. It also lacks the nuance of live performance, as MIDI data may not capture the full expressiveness of instruments. Additionally, MIDI files can be less portable, as playback can vary depending on the synthesizer or software used. Lastly, MIDI does not inherently include audio data, which can complicate sharing and collaboration.

What are the differences between USB MIDI and standard MIDI, and how do they impact music production and performance?

USB MIDI and standard MIDI are both protocols used to communicate musical information between devices, but they differ in the way they connect. USB MIDI uses a USB connection, while standard MIDI uses traditional MIDI cables. The impact on music production and performance is mainly in terms of convenience and compatibility. USB MIDI is more common in modern equipment and is easier to connect to computers and other devices without the need for additional adapters. This can make it more convenient for musicians and producers to integrate MIDI devices into their setups. Standard MIDI, on the other hand, may require additional hardware to connect to modern devices, but it is still widely used and compatible with many older devices.
