![]() ![]() Many tutorials online seem to assume the audience wants to become professional music producers. Naturally, embracing the digital side of music making isn’t simple, and it’s easy to get lost in the details. Many songs are in fact mixed with a simple Macbook and a pair of good headphones. If your impression of music studios still involves massive mixing consoles and archaic rack-mounted effects, you might be surprised. If you still aren’t convinced, software is a key part of music production. Forgoing software instruments because it makes performances ‘sterile’ or ‘lifeless’ is an outdated mindset and means you miss out on a lot. Software gives the keyboardist a lot of flexibility. Many songs you hear on the radio use software piano libraries as opposed to mic’d up concert grands. It sounds wild, but it’s not so farfetched. Using a budget keyboard and a mid-tier laptop, it’s possible to achieve radio-ready piano sounds that rival those from fully fledged digital pianos.
