Music for my projects (MIDI for an absolute beginner, Links please)
Hi want to get into creating some simple pieces of music for my projects. I can play a couple of instruments, and a simple chords on a piano, but I want to learn a bit about using some MIDI software. Can anyone give me some links to any sites explaining what software a beginner should start with.
As I said, I can play music on guitar, sax, harmonica and things like that, but nothing professional. I understand chords, and how they are created, but I can absolutely not play pianopieces. Am I still able to use MIDI programs and samplers to create music for my Premiere projects? Mostly low-budget commercial-stuff.
So….links for a beginner, tutorials for the programs. And what programs should I start with? I have just ordered M-Audio’s O2 MIDI-keyboard, just to start with.
All the best!

Hi,
Although I am not familiar with MIDI usage in Premiere Pro, you may want to take a look at SmartSound’s Sonic Fire Pro software. It can create a lot of different types of audio and is fully customizable. Also, take a look at Steven’s site for some great audio links: https://www.stevengotz.comAanarav Sareen

The SmartSound tracks are great. I use them a lot when I need royalty free music. You can check the music out for yourself.
