Le Miz Journeyman L Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 301 Austin, TX	Quote: MIDI sounds can be fabulous, as good or better than "actual" for some instruments (especially bass, piano, drums). Particularly if you're recording your own tunes, able to play the parts on keyboards, yes, choose MIDI instruments, and you'll get great results. No hassles about setting up mics to record the instruments etc. ... Peter Gannon's quote from earlier in this thread describes me, exactly. describes my experience, exactly. Peter's comment on the quality of MIDI "sounds" and the recording process is 100% consistent with my experience. Note the "better than 'actual'" part.
