Note that there are services online where you can send you MIDI tracks to and they will record the actual acoustic instruments for you in quality studios with quality equipment. Editing the MIDI that is fed into a plugin can be easier than editing audio, but it has its own quirks. Editing an audio recording of a plugin is about the same difficulty as editing audio of an acoustic instrument. Regarding editing, in my experience it's about the same. They still don't sound exactly the same, but the convenience and cost savings that they offer makes them a very popular tradeoff. So in all ways except sound quality, plugins are much easier to work with. You don't have to have a quiet room with good acoustics to record in. You don't have to make sure the plugin is in tune. You don't have to have an actual acoustic instrument, which usually cost much more than a good plugin, DAW, computer, and controller combined. With a plugin, you don't have to have an audio interface, microphone or cables.
The real instrument will sound more real, but as you note, there are many challenges to recording acoustic instruments or anything with a microphone that are completely bypassed when using a virtual instrument plugin.
I play the instrument but don't have access to a real one.I don't play the instrument and don't have access to someone who does.I'm just working on a mock-up, not a final recording.Personally, I would use midi in these situations: As for editing, that all depends on what sorts of edits you're doing and why. But assuming you have a relatively quiet space to record, it shouldn't be an issue.
Wouldn't the mic introduce background noise and make things harder to edit?
It all depends on what you want the finished product to sound like, and what instruments and equipment you have available to you.Īre there any benefits to recording a real instrument ?Īssuming you have an adequately skilled pianist, a decent quality piano which is in tune, and a decent microphone or microphones for the job, then yes, absolutely there are benefits. Any guidelines as far as recording a mechanical instrument versus using a midi controller or synth?
