Abstract
In this first chapter you will learn how to prepare and set up your working environment for your music productions including studio set-up and design, types of MIDI devices, principles of MIDI networking, MIDI messages, interaction of MIDI and audio signal paths and which DAW to choose. The devices in your studio fall mainly into three categories of equipment: MIDI/electronic instruments, sound/audio equipment, and the computer. Two main path signals connect your devices: the MIDI network and the audio network. Depending on your MIDI interface and gears you can connect your MIDI studio with a Daisy Chain or Star Network setup. The MIDI data transmitted over the MIDI network are sent to the computer that, through a software sequencer, is able to record, play back, store, and edit them. The data transmitted on the MIDI network do contain no audio information. The audio network has the mixing board as the central hub of its audio connections. The audio interface is connected to the computer usually using FireWire, USB, or PCI interfaces. Through the use of AD/DA converters, the audio interfaces allow the computer to record analog audio in digital binary format. The computer functions therefore as both MIDI and audio central hub of your studio, and, along with the software sequencer, it constitutes the heart of your music production environment.
