#How to record digital piano software#

With the piano sound software (Komplete) you can use it in real-time too, to make your piano sound like the grandest of all the grand pianos, for an amazing sound, though I'd suggest you go for Synthogy then which, to me at least, has the superior sound. It's quite good and not that difficult at all. If you made a missplay or something went wrong, you can remove a note, add notes, change velocity, everything. You can edit your track with software too, I don't know if Audacity can do that, it might, but I use something called Reaper. If you want to get a REALLY good sound, you should still use the MIDI format, but you'd have to get a good piano sound too.

I believe Windows has a built in sound recording feature, which could do it as well. Audacity was mentioned, which could easily do it. Now you can just use any audio recording software you want. You will need a cable like this, but you'll most likely have one somewhere, it's a very standard cable. If you want to get the sound from the piano, you can use a cable from the headphone output on the piano, to the microphone input in your computer with a standard 3.5mm jack (unless you have a 1/4 inch in your piano, in which case you need the little transformer). When you record with MIDI, you don't actually record any sound at all, you record which keys you press and when you press the sustain pedal and so on. I feel like it shouldn't be too hard to record what I hear in my headphones, can I record from the headphones output somehow or surpass the MIDI-part of recording it to my computer?Д®dit: I found a post about using a stereoadapter from my piano into my Line-in blue thing on my computer, would that be better than MIDI to record what I hear? It bothers me a bit since the end results often sounds less dynamic and more stale/metallic and the sustain (is that the correct english term for the pedal) is a bit fishy and not quite how I used it (some notes are way louder/weaker than when I played it to begin with). If I understand it correctly MIDI records the key-presses and then SolMire plays the MIDI-recording on a virtual piano for the sound.

My problem with this is that after turning the things I play on the piano into a MIDI-file and then back into mp3 makes it sound pretty different from the original, kind of a playback effect. mp3 and also turns the stale sounds of the raw MIDI-file into a more pianolike sound.

I've googled around a lot on the subject of recording from the piano to an mp3 file on my computer and I've been using Red Dot Forever to record the midifile and then converint it into an mp3 file through SolMire ( ) which both converts it into. Hi! I recently purchased a Pivia PX-150 which is currently wired to my computer with a MIDI>USB cable.
