Learning MIDI and....
Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2024 2:58 pm
Greetings fellow Riders and Friends,
I've been swirling in the Google vortex of searching for "that" MIDI tutorial/Class for DAW MIDI beginners. In a nutshell I've never used MIDI before and I'm still a fledgling Pro Tools (Studio) User. I have recently acquired a Novation Impulse MIDI Keyboard and I struggled to simply get sound via my DAW. While I do understand the very basics I quickly realized how little my understanding helped with application.
I accept that much of what I'm going through is necessary, the learning curve. But I am a believer in the benefits of education. Thus me having been endlessly searching online for tutorials. I have found tidbits here and there that have been helpful though it's been a very inefficient use of time (BTW, both Novation and AVID documentation leaves much to be desired). Finally I grew a brain, er, ah, remembered about the TAXI forum. Certainly there's a well worn path from others that have gone before me. So I'm reaching out for help. Hopefully my challenges will ring a bell with some members who will be gracious and share some suggestions on how along with the inevitable trial & error, I can best use my time gaining the desired knowledge.
While MIDI implementation is at the top of the list, I also need to improve my knowledge of all things DAW. So suggestions for online education sources or other pertinent advice is requested and would be greatly appreciated.
My DAW consists of a capable PC, PT Studio, a Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre, the Novation Impulse and I have acquired multiple plugins.
Thank you so much for your time!
Take care, Kent
