Viewport III Overview
It's all digital! This is the most important message for this Viewport. We will learn basic capturing, encoding, and editing of the digital audio.
digital 的時代來也!這是 Viewport III 主要的核心概念。Viewports III 到 VI 會專注於 digital audio 和 MIDI production。我們在這一個 Viewport 會學一些 digital audio 的基本技巧。
An additional kind of music software should be noted. Known as "plug-ins," these programs offer everything from special effects for digital audio and MIDI to in partnership with other software or stand alone as separate programs.
另外還會提到 plug-in 插件這種程式，他可以獨立出來也可以當作 DAW 的插件，幫忙處理一些音效。
The chronology of the development of MIDI and digital audio, MIDI sequencing starts in 1983, concurrent with the establishment of MIDI as a data structure. Digital audio shortly began thereafter with multiple-track digital audio, effects processing and sound programming following. Within the last 10 years, looping software, virtual instruments and studios, popular MP3/AAC formats, and the powerful DAW titles dominate the landscape. The DAW sequencers merges these categories into one.
MIDI 從1983開始發展，過不久 digital audio 的技術像是 multiple-track digital audio, effects processing, sound programming 也接著開始發展。在90年代，looping software, virtual instruments , MP3/AAC 格式出現，在近幾年 DAW 匯集許多技術成為強大的工具。
