24 for the top number [Gasp] I need to sit down for a second. I'm surprised there was anything left after that. 24-bit for original recordings No. 44100, 16-bit, Stereo is Music CD quality. 24-bit is what they use to record Adele. I'm not Adele and you're probably not either. Let's stick with plain...

That gives you good volume over the normal system noise and...

Why is that? Same reason I use Mavericks instead of Yosemite. I have the entirely unfashionable idea that the software should do what I want instead of compulsively updating to the latest version and taking my chances. I have a little thrill watching people update to beta (or even alpha) software a...

convert MIDI to music notation.

Cakewalk could do that. Are they still around? I remember being impressed when the program delivered my show in sound files and musical notation.

I also know people who can write directly to MIDI files.

I can't do that.
