User:WikiMeDHD/My first sandbox

This is my first sandbox

My mission is to write three simulated articles that are linked to each other. So, this page should have a link to both User:WikiMeDHD/my second sandbox and User:WikiMeDHD/my third sandbox.

The simulated article on this page is going to be about MIDI vs. Digital recording in GarageBand.

The GarageBand music recording application let's you record sound in two different ways and combine them in a single project:


 * MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) -- A set of instructions given to your computer about the sounds to be produced.
 * Digital -- Actual audio signals from a microphone or other sound-producing device.

When Should You Use Each Type of Recording?
There are several factors that determine which type of recording you should or must use, either for a given track or your entire project. The following table lists some of these:
