Record From Your Home Recording Studio Without Playing An Instrument
You can record music in your home recording studio, even though you are not able to play an instrument.

Everyone is affected by music in some form. There is music that we hate, and music that we love.
Music is in everyone. Anyone with a love of music and a burning desire to learn to compose and perform music can do so with the help of a computer based home recording studio.

Music software makes songwriting and recording possible without even a formal music theory background or music writing proficiency.

Sequencers can be used to overcome some of the gaps in your musical training.
Some computer music hobbyists may even consider the mouse, keyboard and computer to be their musical instruments.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) lets you work with music, much like a writer works with words. You work at the level of a single note, with full control over how it is played.
MIDI lets you craft your own song at your own pace; using whatever works best for you. Mistakes are easily fixed and new alternatives can be tried, while you hear the results in real time.

The fact that you cannot even play a short melody on an instrument is no longer a reason to keep the music inside of you.
Even though you may not be able to keep a rhythm, you can still craft rhythms, edit and make changes using simple familiar visual techniques.
It is as simple as using a computer painting or drawing application and it is an interactive way to compose your own music.

Sequencers, MIDI, synthesizers and samplers can all work together to reduce or even go to the extreme position of eliminating the actual physical aspect of playing instruments you wish to include in your compositions.
The lack of formal music training should not prevent you from enjoying the thrill of creating and capturing your musical ideas in your home recording studio.

You should begin making your own music by learning to work with sample loops. A sample tool kit will contain a number of related samples that can be used to make different compositions. You may use these elements to assemble a complete song that reflects your musical taste.

The whole process is much like a remix, where you embellish your own recorded parts and apply software plug-ins to alter each part. You can find collections of MIDI drum patterns, instrument phrases or riffs or even entire songs in MIDI format.

These so called MIDI loops are much more flexible and allows you to easily extract portions as needed.

Virtual instruments
Virtual instruments use the same principle as hardware instruments to create sound. You can have an unlimited number of instrument sounds, available by installing software.

As you gain knowledge and musical skills you will become more confident with the tools now at your disposal and as your proficiency increases, you will find that you
