Hello Everyone,
I have been making electonic stuff for a while, but I have never experimented with MIDI.
I thought I would ask here if anyone can give me a brief description / answer a few questions:
1.What is MIDI
2.How are MIDI cables different than audio cables?
3.Are midi files the techniques used to create remixes of work?
4.Can a wav file be transformed into a midi file?
5.Am I right to say that a midi file of a certain song is split into individual elements of that song?
Many Thanks Wizards Teeth

MIDI = Musical Instrument Digital Interface. Sorry, I fear I have exhausted all my knowledge on the subject! I'm more of an organic musician.

1.What is MIDI
like he said ^^^
2.How are MIDI cables different than audio cables?
Different wires for transmitting data, not audio.
3.Are midi files the techniques used to create remixes of work?
a midi file could be given to someone for remixing, but its allmost useless, unless they have the same gear and setup as you. unless they just want the notes your using or something ??
4.Can a wav file be transformed into a midi file?
short answer, No
5.Am I right to say that a midi file of a certain song is split into individual elements of that song?
yes, it can have a different track for every instrument, for example, an individual track for kick, snare, hats, bass, synth 1, synth 2 etc... ad infinitum

I dont like Midi though, let it be said, maybe my synth is faulty, but im allways having problems with rogue notes that come from nowhere, and Midi unedited sounds like crap, untill you record, edit and put effects on everything, imo anyway.

midi records note information, but not the sound itself. for example, i can hook up my hr-16 to my mc 303 and play my hr 16 patterns that i have programmed with the sounds of the mc 303 because the midi information is being sent from my hr 16 to the mc 303. there are lots of other things you can do such as changing parameters and information with controllers.
