Introduction to Audio and MIDI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This chapter, which is the first engineering\/sequencing chapter in Part I, introduces you to digital audio and MIDI as well as the technologies used to manipulate them. Topics include digital audio, MIDI, decibel scales, clipping, and more. You will also continue to explore the piano roll editor within the digital audio workstation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
