Advantages of the Modern Musician

Having rewound the story for a while back (for example, for 100-200 years) it becomes a little pity for those musicians, composers who lived at that time. I will now explain what I mean.

Of course, we are not talking about such components as talent, ability, professional attitude to their work (hobby). Nuggets, geniuses and professinal musicians have been at all times, and I'm sure many contemporary composers have much to learn from their colleagues in the shop from past times.

It's about something else. What was the musician 200 years ago. Yes, there was an instrument (pianoforte, violin, guitar, etc.) that he was lisling, on which he could play for himself or for others. But, he did not have the opportunity to record his instrument or his works, process them, arrange arrangements with other musical instruments and, accordingly, lying on the couch, listen to their creations through the acoustic systems Dolby Surround 5.1, enjoying a glass of good wine.

So, it's a pity their (musicians and composers of the past years) were for the limitations that they were surrounded, and which did not allow many to fully reveal their talents and capabilities.

In our time the situation is quite different. Now there is everything for musicians. Everyone can organize at home a whole music studio and compose a piece of music for the whole symphony orchestra and achieve at the same time excellent quality sound, if, of course, there are appropriate skills for this. And if there are none, this too will not be a problem, because in your home studio nobody will be a strict judge, except for you and you can move day and night to your dream in an empirical (experimental) way, using the theoretical knowledge that Can also be gleaned easily without leaving your computer and having the Internet at your fingertips. Fortunately, the information is now abound and to solve the problem or to find the answer to your question you can, literally, in two or three clicks of the mouse.

As I said above, to create your music studio you will need a computer where you will need to install any program for creating music (the most famous are Steinberg Cubase, Cakewalk Sonar, Fl Studio and others). It should be noted that in such programs, or, as they are also called sequencers, with the help of plug-in plug-ins, which produce a very large number, you can "impose" various effects on the audio material, improving or changing the sound at your discretion, and also arrange , Mastering, mixing, and getting ready-made compositions of the highest studio quality.

The previous paragraph, of course, implies that you have a MIDI keyboard or synthesizer (you will have to play something), which has a socket for connecting a MIDI cord, and it, in turn, synchronizes your synthesizer (midi keyboard) with Program-host (Cubase, Sonar, etc. - I already wrote about them above). The other end of this cord should be connected to the sound card of your computer. Only be sure to pay attention when buying a sound card so that it has a corresponding socket for connecting a midi cable or an additional loop in the kit, since most cards of this functional feature do not have.
