Most modern sound cards, and many PC motherboards can do 24 bits of resolution with up to 96 or even a 192 KHz sampling rate. Exactly how and when this compression is invoked is a subject that fills entire books. This can be exceeded with a human voice, guitar, bass or drums, so a compressor in front of the A/D conversion is used to reduce the dynamic range. Back in the 90's the PAS and others were limited to 16 bits of resolution which translates to 96 dB of dynamic range in a 'perfect system.' Reality usually falls somewhere in the 80's. The concept of compression has been mentioned. Doing some careful thinking and planning upfront as to how the system will be used, and how it may be expanded or changed in the future to meet new needs or desires can save money by avoiding purchases that don't work out, or never get used. That will change as the user's skill level and musical tastes evolve.

Here the DAW is used only to record the MIDI generated by this setup, which can then be used to play any number of different hardware or software synthesizers. I find that I have more fun with two Korg SQ-64 hardware sequencers, an Arturia Keystep sequencer, and a Conductive Labs NDLR intelligent randomizer controlling a bunch of hardware synthesizers. The user can lock them into a scale and let it rip capturing the entire output, into the PC, then mining it for something useful. There are several random or 'AI' powered 'music engines' that will do the same thing. Others find that they can make good stuff that way. I find that attempting to create new and unique music, or musical phrases by splatting notes on a piano roll style screen doesn't result in much useful music. I had also discovered an old Ableton Live 6 disk that came with a MIDI keyboard that I had purchased, so I upgraded that to Live 9 and put both on my PC.Īs with Cakewalk Sonar, I have never used more than a small percentage of the features of either DAW, since I generally use them as fancy MIDI capable tape recorders. Kellogg's, the cereal company threatened to sue, or block all sales of Fruity Loops in the US, so it was renamed to FL Studio.ĭuring the Gibson kills Cakewalk Sonar fiasco, Amazon ran a lightning sale on the Fruity Edition of FL Studio for $39, so I bought it. I kept a copy of the disk, but never really did much with it. We played with it, made it work and his son went on to make some noise (OK, maybe music) with it.

It was a Fruity Loops disk that his son had bought. Click to expand.Back in the late 90's a coworker brought a disk into work and asked me to help him figure it out.
