>> If a Midi file was recorded at a very high volume, how does one reduce the volume level of the actual recording? << I'm embarrassed to say that I don't exactly know. I've heard and know what a midi file is, but I was never really interested in them because I thought they sounded kind of stupid. I'm much more interested in lossy compression formats for hi quality music such as Liquid Audio, MP2, MP3, MP4, AC3, AAC, WMA, VQF, etc. If a midi is compressed in any way you probably have to convert it to a waveform, lower the volume, and then convert it back to a midi file. that's how it works with mp3s and the like. You can't do much sound editing in an mp3 without converting it back to a wave file. I suspect the same might be true for midi's but I can't really say.

<OT> Midi file... Here is another idea...if you want to change the volume the Midi, get Cakewalk Pro Audio. Cake Walk can change the volume of a midi. However...this is a very expensive program, so if you just have one file to change you might want to have someone do this project for you. (Very easy to do if you know what you're doing!) If I am correct, a Midi file is like a file of "sheet music" of the song recorded, and the midi file stores not only the note recorded but the volume of the note played. Let me know if you need some help...since I know several people who could "fix" this for you! Libbyt
