I can play the piano however I find it difficult recording some tracks using a midi keyboard. For example if I am composing something that has an instrument like a saxophone, I load the saxophone sample and try to record a track using my keyboard but it sounds too much like it is being played on a keyboard.
I have seen people who make really good compositions using a keyboard and they can make every instrument sound how it is supposed to. They can play a marimba like a marimba, a saxophone like a saxophone, an electric guitar like an electric guitar, the drums like drums etc
I can make the instruments sound like they are supposed to if I click in the notes but this takes way too long.
I have a few questions:
Do any of you use a midi keyboard to record every track?
Do you play the whole melody in one go or split it into parts?
Do you practice what you play before you play it or play it straight away and get it right the 1st time?
Also how can I improve playing instruments how they are supposed to?
