Just kidding you Donny. I'm a limited user myself (don't use it in recording, although I probably should). I HAVE to use it to trigger my many modules and computer VSTi's, but for recording I stick strictly to 'audio'. It's definitely easier to edit (tracks) in midi but I'd just rather re-record (replay) a 'bad' part. Kidding aside though, it helps these days to have a good basic knowledge of how MIDI works. Sooner or later you're going to have to deal with it.
