![]() In 1983, the format "Midi" ("Musical Instrument Digital Interface") was introduced. There also were (rather expensive) analogue sequencers, that could be connected to the synthesizer to make it play simple programmed sequences.Ī few years later, there were also big polyphonic analogue synthesizers like the Prophet 5, the OB-X and the Jupiter 8. The Minimoog, being an electrical instrument, could be enhanced by effects and recorded just like an electric guitar. When the filter of the synthesizer was slowly closed or opened, the sound developed characteristically over time. Envelopes for filter and amplifier could be set, so the sound could be either long and streched (like the sound of a string instrument) or short and plucked (like the sound of a guitar). This wave was then sent into a low-pass filter, and then into an "amplifier", which actually didn't raise, but decreased the volume of the sound. It had three oscillators, which produced for example a sawtooth wave. In the early 1970s, the Minimoog, a monophonic analogue synthesizer, entered the studios. Maybe there was also a keyboard player playing an organ (think of "The Doors"), a grand piano (Elton John) or an electric piano like the Fender Rhodes or the Wurlitzer (Supertramp). You could also use a flute (think of "Jethro Tull"), a trumpet, a harmonica, a violin, a saxophone for your production, or maybe some percussion. Of course, you were not limited to the classical band setup. The output of the mixing console is then sent to an audio recorder. ![]() All devices are connected to a huge mixing console, where the volumes can be mixed in a reasonable way. There, effects like especially chorus, delay, reverb, distortion and compressor can be added. In the studio, the electric instruments and also the microphones for the drums and vocals are connected to other devices like an effects rack. Traditional pop music bands like for example the Beatles used a bass guitar (Paul), a rhythmic guitar (John), a lead guitar (George), a drum kit (Ringo) and vocals (John, Paul, and the others too).ĪC/DC still plays in a similar Rock setup today.Ī drum kit consists of a bass drum, a snare drum, a hi-hat (which can be played closed and opened), and maybe some toms (tom-tom drums) and cymbals. Such a studio is a place of one or more rooms filled with all kinds of musical equipment, for example instruments, microphones, effect devices, ampilifiers, a mixing console and recording devices. Let's take a look at what a traditional music studio is about. The music programs, this website is about, try to bring the functionality of a whole music studio into the Linux computer.
