Steps to Production

1)Compose multitrack/multichannel MIDI file of original music. 2)Export MIDI File from keyboard workstation 3)Load in REASON and raise the quality of instrumentation using things like the PLAY engines. 4)Take instrumental tracks and load them into the V-Studio (personal choice V840GX). 5)Record vocals against the instrumental tracks. 6)Load into SoundForge for mastering. That is by no means a FAST take on production. Song writing and recording are very time consuming. The difference begins to take shape with the principle of "creativity on demand". There is a disparity between recording an "album" as an artist, or recording music to be used for soundtrack materal on film, television or advertising. The disparity is defined simply as - THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. -g
