Are Your Virtual Instruments Falling Short?
No matter how you look at it, virtual instruments have been one of the most revolutionary developments in music production. After their rise in popularity in the late 90s with the advent of VST (Virtual Studio Technology), anyone with a MIDI keyboard could play any instrument on their computer.
No longer did music producers need to spend thousands of hours practicing and thousands of dollars building up their instrument collections. This newfound flexibility allowed producers to effortlessly experiment with different sounds and vibes, simply by switching between plugins.
However, despite their many advantages, virtual instruments often fall short of their live counterparts. There's an undeniable magic in the immediacy of working with real instruments, a certain human touch that digital tools can struggle to replicate.
But what if you could have the best of both worlds?
The Performidi® platform makes it easy to 'replace' any virtual instrument track with custom live-recorded audio. Performidi combines the affordability and flexibility of virtual instruments with the authenticity and immediacy of live.
Imagine you're producing a song and realize it would sound perfect with a live guitar part. With Performidi, you can still work just like you would with any other virtual instrument:
- Compose your part with any basic guitar plugin or sample player.
- Once you're happy with your part, export the MIDI file and upload to Performidi.
- You'll receive up to three auditions from talented session musicians. You can immediately pick your favorite performance for download or collaborate on revisions with your musician of choice.
- Add the new recording to your track and hear your music come to life.
Don't let your sound be limited by your tools. Sign up for Performidi as a Producer to try it out.
