What is computer music?

It applies to club music, as well as any other music that is created using music and computer technology. It is considered the music of the XXI century. Now music on the computer can not only be processed, but also created from scratch.

Synthesizer programs

Although most music synthesizers allow you to play a simple melody with an ordinary computer mouse.

Real computer music is created using a large number of MIDI tracks. Each track is created separately on such a special synthesizer. You can also edit MIDI tracks separately.

Voice recording via microphone on computer

Often, computer music requires voice recording via a microphone to a computer. And, of course, various programs have been invented for this purpose. For such an operation, the usual standard program, which is called "Sound Recording", is also suitable. There is in any modern computer.

You can also install Sound Forge on your computer for voice recording, which will be much more serious. After all, computer music is not only melodies created using computer programs. It can be recorded with your voice songs.

There are different sound formats: digital and analog. One of the most famous digital formats is MP3. This is where it is best to work when creating a voice recording. The usual format in which the sound recording is saved when using the standard tab in the start-up "sound recording" does not reach the desired quality.
