==MIDI vs. audio==
MIDI (pronounced "middy") and audio are both compressed digital formats that are used within a Digital Audio Workspace (DAW). MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is used with plug-ins that allow the user to control the notes of various plug-in instruments. MIDI is universally accepted and if one plug-in or synthesizer is used using MIDI, then it can be modified with another synthesizer.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Chhoni|date=2013-09-03|title=Difference between MIDI and Digital Audio|url=http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-midi-and-digital-audio|access-date=2021-11-22|website=www.differencebetween.info|archive-date=November 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122040734/http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-midi-and-digital-audio|url-status=live}}</ref> The filename extension of MIDI format is .MIDI or .MID.<ref name=":1" /> Unlike MIDI, Digital audio contains a recording of sound.
