Dear Music Tech experts,

Would anyone tell me why MIDIs sound unreal whereas audio recordings sound more realistic? PLUS What are some of the musical things that are lacking in MIDI recordings? Please advice experts out there, dummie wahaha Rolling Eyes

Hi,

My name is Luciano and I´ll try to explain to you.
First, Midi is a sound generated by computer and is a math formula of a wave. Some Midi instruments are very realistics because their wave´s forms seem with the real instruments wave´s forms.
However, some Midi instruments like guitar and bass guitar sound, like you said, unreal 'cos the wave´s form of the guitar is formed by a group of waves called harmonics. This waves together create the sound caracteristic of the guitar. As there isn´t a math formula to imitate the real sound, some Midi music don´t sound realistic.

Sorry for my english, I´m from Brasil and I don´t speak very well.
