Unit 49 Brief 2 Sequencing a pop song
Operating System
In this assignment, the system we used were Mac computers from apple, and the operating system was Mac OS X Version 10.7.5. We used the macs because this is what was provided but also they are quick computers and easy to use. The other systems that can support the program cubase 6 which is what we used are Linux and windows. I prefer using the macs, even though I am not used to them, as they are quick, and easy to use.
What is DAW/some research on DAW's
DAW stands for Digital audio workstation. It is an electronic device or computer software application used for recording, editing and producing audio files and songs. DAW comes in a range of of configurations, from a single software program such as a laptop, to an integrated standalone unit and all the way to a highly complexed configuration of numerous components controlled by a central computer. Modern DAWs have a central interface that allows the user to alter and mix multiple recordings and tracks into a final produced piece.
Midi
Midi stands for musical instrument digital interface. A midi track does not actually any instruments or sounds. Also, it is not a digital music file such as MP3 or a WAV file. Midi is just data, a set of instructions. Midi data contains a list of event or messages that will tell and electronic device such as a computer or a sound card how to generate a certain sound. Midi files are very good because they have a small file size, unlike a WAV file or Mp3. Also they are able to open and edit, as well as being played back by a lot of media players. Midi files are mostly used for:
-Karaoke Industry
-Old video games
-Old mobile phones
Midi connections contain Midi Thru. This is where if you have a set of keyboards, and you want to hear them all at once, or everyone play and record into one file, then Midi thru makes the possible by linking the devices. You also have Midi in, and Midi out. The midi code is the message format that makes the computer create the sound. There are two types of Midi message bytes. The data byte, which always starts with a 0, and the status byte, and the data byte. Status bytes always begin with a 1, where 3 bits (sss) are used to denote the type of message. 4 Bits (nnnn) are used to denote the channel number as the which the message applies to. There is a maximum of 16 channels per byte. 8 bits make one byte. Cubase also has midi manager, which is called 'list editor'. Midi channel numbers (n) are referred as 1 to 16. In reality they are represented by binary values from 0 to 15 (0-F).
