Cable To Mic Port: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 3

Cable To Mic Port: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 3 Cable To Mic Port: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 3 Whether you want to record your keyboard on your windows laptop, mac, or iPad, it is possible to do this with just a simple audio cable. You can connect from the audio ouptput of your keyboard/digital piano to the microphone port of your computer. If you have a windows laptop or desktop computer, then you should have an 1/8" microphone input that you can use to record. You will need to be very careful to turn the volume of your keyboard and the input level of the microphone port right down when connecting and then gradually raise the levels. You should also turn off the microphone boost. If you have a macbook with microphone port, or one with the combined headphone/microphone port you will also be able to record with a simple cable, but you will need triple ring adapter, which I will show in a later video in this playlist. Same applies if you have an iPad. So in this video I just take a look at the output port on my keyboard, and the input port on the macbook and windows laptop. Then if you keep watching the videos in the playlist, I will show you how to record your keyboard with a simple audio cable on windows laptop, then the macbook, then the iPad. You can do all this with free software so this is a real budget way of making a recording. Here is a link to the cable I used in this video - you may need a different cable depending on the output of your keyboard or piano, and if you have a macbook/ipad you will also need an adapter.
