Music can be recorded directly into a digital sequencer. Once recorded, the music can be edited, arranged and mixed.

Key aspects: MIDI/audio integration.
The resulting MIDI/audio composition can then be edited as a whole.

Once music has been recorded it can be played back and edited.

Recorded music can be displayed as a sound wave in the sequencer. By deleting, cutting and pasting important alterations can be made to the original recording and MIDI files. These include:

• Removing unwanted noise at the beginning or end of a track


• Separating out musical phases and re-assigning these to separate tracks


• Copying and pasting one part to another.
