Many people have made music at home for a long time, advances in music technology in recent years have made it easier and easier to do it alone in the process of musical creation. This article takes a look through the advances that technology has made music in recent years.
Early days of Computer Music
People made the sounds of the computer for a long time, but mostly not considered a serious musical instrument. Once we arrived in the late 70's and early 80's, however, became more of an opportunity to use the computer as a tool to make serious music. This is because the invention of high-end tools, such as music and Synclavier Fairlight CMI. However, despite this great leap forward in music technology, the high price meant that it was not an option for the average musician or composer, and has remained the tool of wealthy musicians, research and inventions producers.The MIDI
In 1983, MIDI has become a new important technology in music. MIDI, which means musical instrument digital interface is an electronic language that allows different electronic musical instruments are connected to each other and control each other. For example, you can connect a keyboard to another keyboard via a MIDI cable, and use it to play sounds in the keyboard.This others also leads to the emergence of the sequencers MIDI devices can be programmed to play a sequence MIDI music on any keyboard or synthesizer. This meant that it became easier for people to create music at home by themselves. You can even use an inexpensive computer, such as the Atari ST as a MIDI sequencer to create music on your MIDI keyboard.
Making music on your PC
Once in the 1990s was well underway, the PC is the standard main computer. The great thing was, they had begun to be used for music, as well. With the sequencing software better and better MIDI available for PC, available with synthesizers ever more spectacular were making music for PC has become much a standard approach, especially for musicians who like to compose on their own instead of with a band. When these music programs have also begun to include audio recording and MIDI sequencing, creating computer-based music started to become a real possibility, even for people who could not afford expensive gear.Soft Synths
Recently, the addition of newer and more creative for a wide range of music is the invention of software synthesizers. These are programs that create sounds similar to those used hardware synthesizers. Congratulations to them, however, is that you are limited to, the right equipment in the room. All sounds are created using the software, so that really expands possibilities.To begins, these soft synths are separate programs that can be played using the keyboard, or a plug-in style programs that can be used within a sequencer like Cubase VST compatible software. However, these software synthesizers days have passed to a new level. Now you can get the music software, which combines a built-in software synthesizers and sequencers, samplers, effects and virtual instruments, all of a piece of software. It is a real revolution in music creation, sound, and truly opens the possibility
