Midi verses Audio
The Music you hear on your computer comes in two main categories. Audio files and MIDI files. Audio files are digital recordings of music, sounds, voices etc. MP3s,.wav, wma and aif. are all examples of Audio files. MIDI files contain information such as note length,pitch,tempo etc. The best way to explain the difference between these file types is this, Assume you have written a melody that you want me to hear. You could play the tune on an instrument and record yourself playing. You can then play the recording to me and I will hear exactly what you have played. This is how an Audio file works. Another way you could get me to hear your melody is to write it out in music notation. I could then take your piece of music and play it myself. This is how MIDI works.It is information sent to a synthesizer telling it how to play a peice of music. The synthesizer can be external such as a keyboard or internal such as
Microsofts GS wavetable that comes standard on most P.C.s soundcards.
