Why do many producers prefer drawing MIDI notes versus recording live with a keyboard?

Recording MIDI live requires a keyboard, playing skill, and often multiple takes to get the timing and notes right. Not all producers are skilled keyboard players, and even those who are often find themselves editing recorded MIDI extensively.

Drawing MIDI offers more precision and control, especially for complex chords or specific voicings.

Drawing MIDI gives you perfect precision: every note exactly where you want it, perfect timing, and control over velocity. It's ideal for producers who think visually or don't play keyboard.
