MIDI Editing in Logic Pro 8

Summary: Are you a songwriter? Do you love to play music? Are you in a band? Well, there are a number of ways for you to get your songs recorded and out in the marketplace—or even just to make copies for you and your friends. In the past, musicians polished their material over and over, until it was radio-worthy. Then they forked out the dough and went into a professional studio to cut a demo or an album. Fast forward a few years and you had the explosion of small home recording devices that could be purchased for a reasonable price. The profusion of material that was generated from this development was astounding. Now, in the next generation of the home recording saga, we have stepped into the Digital Age with both feet. Anyone with a computer, a bit of recording software, a USB interface, an instrument, and some patient ingenuity can make a recording that would border on professional quality.
