Sync Piano Playing Video To Audio Recording: Lesson 17

Sync Piano Playing Video To Audio Recording: Lesson 17 Sync Piano Playing Video To Audio Recording: Lesson 17 In this video you will learn how to make a great sounding audio recording of your piano playing and sync it to a video. There are two ways to go about this. One is to make a high quality audio sound recording of your playing through an audio interface on your computer (or using something like a Zoom H2), at the same time film yourself, then use video editing software to line up the two files, remove the audio track on your video file, and then product a finished video with the sound you recorded. The other option is to purchase an audio interface that will allow you to record directly on your iPad or iPhone (there are many available) so that as you play the piano for the video (which you record on your iPhone or iPad) you record the sound of your piano or keyboard directly onto the iPhone at the same time and so the video and audio are already perfectly synced. If you watch through I demonstrate how to line the sound and video file up, remove the audio from the video file, then trim, produce and share. For the first example I am using a GoPro to record the video, and my Avid audio interface to record the audio directly on my Windows Laptop. I also show you the result where I have made a video using my iPad, with the same audio interface connected up to record the sound directly. There was no fiddling about having to line up files for this example. The video editing software I use in this demo is Camtasia, partly because I want to record my screen at the same time, but most video editing software will allow you to do these basic operations. This is not a super complicated demo! Whichever you choose to do, you will need to have mastered recording the sound of your digital piano or keyboard. This is the last in a whole video series that shows you just how to do this step-by-step. You can record your keyboard using a simple audio cable and the built in recording capability of your computer or tablet, but for best results I recommend using a proper audio interface. Here are quick links to audio interfaces for sale on Amazon: http://bit.ly/1eysFYj And these specifically work directly on iPad: http://bit.ly/1eT7dx6 You will also need the correct cables to connect your digital piano or keyboard to your interface (or computer if you decide to go the direct route) http://bit.ly/1IgZl0T I'm a big fan of the GoPro for making videos, I love the fact you can use an app to preview the video and set it recording - an absolute must if you are working solo and trying to record yourself! Then you simply connect the GoPro to your computer via USB and the files auto transfer ready for editing. Brilliantly easy (I am no video expert! If I can do it then you can too.....). NB to get the functionality of the app you need the GoPro with wi-fi. I'm using the GoPro Hero4 Black edition, you can do the same thing with the Hero4 Silver which is slightly cheaper. http://bit.ly/1L3S7TX It is also possible, if you have a fast enough computer and good video editing software, to record the sound via an audio interface and the video via a camera connected to your computer, so that the two are recorded simultaneously in video capture software. This process is described here, but it does sound as if you need much more expensive equipment then I have available! http://bit.ly/1ICnVeN If you want to connect and record your keyboard or digital piano to your computer, then please do look at the whole of this playlist, it's a complete how to guide for making your keyboard the heart of your home studio recording. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5P4qB37mqpDxtgPQ_jEAcDXSaIbYeijf Visit our web site for helpful guides, hints tips and more on setting up your home recording studio: http://bit.ly/1JBIEQ3 Check out the Music Repo Channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MusicRepoCom Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/musicrepo Connect with us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1CkZGCu Find us on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1eysFrn

MIDI keyboard setup on iPad: Connect MIDI Keyboard Lesson 16

MIDI keyboard setup on iPad: Connect MIDI Keyboard Lesson 16 MIDI keyboard setup on iPad: Connect MIDI Keyboard Lesson 16 In this brief video you will see how to connect your keyboard or MIDI interface to your iPad. More often than not you will require a camera connection kit (or USB-iPad adapter) to do this, unless you purchase a keyboard that come with an iPad cable. More and more keyboards and MIDI controllers have been designed with iPad connectivity in mind: http://bit.ly/1PgyhUb You should find that once you have connected your MIDI keyboard or connected your digital piano or keyboard via MIDI interface then it will automatically be detected by your DAW software, or apps like Garageband. NB if you have to use the camera connection kit then connect the keyboard or interface FIRST then connect the adapter to the iPad SECOND. Or it won't work! It is possible to make your iPad the centre of an easy to use and portable home recording studio. Here are some more links that may be useful to you: MIDI books - learn more about MIDI recording http://bit.ly/1J5Lq3f The MIDI manufacturer's official site - lots of background info and tutorials http://www.midi.org/ This short video is part of an entire series on how to connect and record your MIDI keyboard or digital piano on your mac, laptop or iPad so do check out the entire playlist to get all the info in order: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5P4qB37mqpDxtgPQ_jEAcDXSaIbYeijf Visit our web site for helpful guides, hints tips and more on setting up your home recording studio: http://bit.ly/1JBIEQ3 Check out the Music Repo Channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MusicRepoCom Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/musicrepo Connect with us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1CkZGCu Find us on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1eysFrn

MIDI Keyboard Setup on Mac: Connect Keyboard Lesson 15

MIDI Keyboard Setup on Mac: Connect Keyboard Lesson 15 MIDI Keyboard Setup on Mac: Connect Keyboard Lesson 15 In this video you will learn how to set up your MIDI keyboard or USB-MIDI MIDI inteface connected to digital piano on your Mac. Firstly follow the instructions with your MIDI Controller Keyboard or MIDI-USB interface and connect it up to the USB port on your Mac. Next go to the launchpad on Mac and open up the Audio MIDI Setup app. From there Show MIDI Window (Command-2) and you should be able to see your available MIDI device(s). You can test the setup of the keyboard or interface very easily. Now most important! Shut the MIDI window and QUIT the Audio MIDI Setup completely. If you do not do that then you will continue to hear beeping and feedback from the test setup utility while you are trying to record in Garageband or other software. And you will wonder what on earth is going on! Once you have your MIDI Keyboard, MIDI interface, or Audio Interface with MIDI correctly connected up you should automatically be able to create keybaord and other MIDI tracks within Garageband. Watch the video for a step by step demo. More complex DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) Software may have more MIDI settings, and you may need to enable your device within the software. So if you refer back to the last video (lesson 14) you will see demonstrations of how to setup and enable/disable MIDI devices within various audio software packages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF0_ssNXVqE This video is part of a complete series on how to connect and record your keyboard on Windows, Mac and iPad, so do subscribe, or visit our channel home page to get the complete series (link below) or if you want to go straight to the playlist featuring all the videos in order, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5P4qB37mqpDxtgPQ_jEAcDXSaIbYeijf If you are looking for a MIDI interface then here is a direct link: http://bit.ly/1eysFrd Or if you want a USB-MIDI Keyboard Controller for your Mac then there are keyboards for every budget and situation here: http://bit.ly/1UywCfA If you want to know more about MIDI then the MIDI manufacturer's association put together a great resource site with facts, history and tutorials http://www.midi.org/ And there are loads of books on MIDI that will help you get more in-depth knowledge if you want it http://bit.ly/1J5Lq3f Visit our web site for helpful guides, hints tips and more on setting up your home recording studio: http://bit.ly/1JBIEQ3 Check out the Music Repo Channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MusicRepoCom Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/musicrepo Connect with us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1CkZGCu Find us on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1eysFrn

Carson at the Anna and Elsa Frozen Meet and Greet at Magic Kingdom in Disney World
Carson paid a visit to Anna and Elsa at their Meet and Greet location inside Princess Fairy Tale Hall in Fantasyland of Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom recently. Since April of 2014, Anna and Elsa have been a couple of the most popular after Disney characters in recent memory. Princess Fairy Tall Hall, inside Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, underwent a recent addition to hold more princesses and has seemed to fit the bill as a perfect spot for DisneyWorld guests to visit Anna and Elsa. On one side of the Hall are Anna and Elsa while on the other side of the Hall is Cinderella and Rapunzel. Each visiting room holds two photo spots, so as you can see in this video it's entirely possible to see three princesses on a single visit. This video was shot on May 10th, 2014. As of that date, guests were able to have their pictures taken with both Anna and Elsa at the same time. As of July 2014, Anna and Elsa are now located in the same room but in different photo spots, so you won't be able to have your photo taken with both Anna and Elsa at the same time. In our video, Anna and Elsa are at one photo spot inside the room while Aurora is at the other photo spot. Our video only shows Carson meeting with Anna and Elsa.

MIDI Keyboard Setup In MIDI Software: Lesson 14

MIDI Keyboard Setup In MIDI Software: Lesson 14 MIDI Keyboard Setup In MIDI Software: Lesson 14 In this video you will learn how to set up your MIDI keyboard in different kinds of MIDI software. Usually there is a MIDI settings or preferences menu, and often you need to enable your keyboard controller within the software before it will work. Whether you are using a MIDI keyboard controller or a digital piano or keyboard connected up via audio MIDI interface the same principles will apply. So you will see step by step how to set up and enable MIDI input and output in Reaper DAW audio recording software, Sibelius Notation Software, Synthesia (a simple MIDI software game for learning piano, Ignite (another audio production software package which comes with M-Audio products) and finally in Mixcraft recording software. Hopefully by the end of the video you will be able to set up your home recording studio with a MIDI keyboard controller and whatever software you wish to use. The main steps are: install your keyboard or MIDI interface according to the manual for your device, and check it is showing up in the Windows control panel (or in audio midi setup if you are on mac) then make sure your keyboard is connected and switched on before starting up your MIDI software. If you have done all that correctly then you should find your MIDI device in the settings or preferences menu. Bear in mind you may need to enable it to get it to work. You can find a complete range of MIDI interfaces if you follow this link: http://bit.ly/1eysFrd if you also want to record and edit audio tracks (such as vocals or other instruments) then you might prefer to invest in an audio interface (see earlier videos in this series) http://bit.ly/1eysFYj For a complete range of guides and books on MIDI follow the direct link below to the Amazon book store where there are plenty of useful books available: http://bit.ly/1HYo1Lt then you may also need to purchase the correct cables to hook everything up together: http://bit.ly/1IgZl0T And here is more info about the MIDI software demonstrated in this video Reaper Digital Audio Workstation http://bit.ly/1UvzpWQ Sibelius Notation Software http://bit.ly/1IVrVIW Synthesia http://bit.ly/1UvzsC5 Ignite http://bit.ly/1IVrVIX Mixcraft - The Musician's DAW http://bit.ly/1UvzsC6 This video is lesson 14 in a complete series on how to connect and record your digital piano or keyboard, so do subscribe, or checkout the complete playlist to get the whole series.

MIDI Setup on Windows: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 13

MIDI Setup on Windows: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 13 MIDI Setup on Windows: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 13 In this video you will learn the basics of how you set up your MIDI devices on Windows and check they are properly installed. I demonstrate with two different MIDI devices, and I did this for several reasons: Firstly it clearly shows the choices and set up in the software and in the control panel and hopefully at least one will look exactly like your keyboard or interface. Secondly it could be that you have two devices to choose from if you've got a keyboard that connects with USB and you've also got an audio interface with MIDI input and output. So this shows you how you can easily choose between the two devices in the windows control panel and within the software. Having more than one is not a problem as long as you know what to do in the software. Finally it demonstrates that a USB keyboard works behaves just the same as a MIDI-USB interface(or an audio interface with MIDI i/o) so hopefully this will give you the confidence that whatever setup you've got you will be able to get it working in the software that you choose. Getting MIDI set up correctly is one of the crucial steps when starting your home recording studio journey. The first MIDI device I look at is a Roland UM-One USB MIDI interface whic is connected up to the MIDI In and Out on the back of my digital piano, and the other end is connected to a USB port on my windows laptop. Then I've also got a Samson Graphite 25 USB MIDI controller keyboard. I demonstrate how to use this alongside the Roland interface to show you how you could choose between the two keyboards very easily. The Graphite keyboard doesn't actually have any on-board sound but it works very similarly to how your keyboard will work if it has a USB connection. To set up the Roland UM-One I first had to install drivers to get it working on Windows, and I also had to do the same on the Mac. It was easy to do this, I just followed the instructions in the packet before I connected it up. It is very important that you do read the instructions before plugging in any device, so you don't cause any problems with corrupt drivers and so on. When you have to install drivers, you run the software first and then connect the cable or keyboard. The Graphite Keyboard is just a plug and play keyboard so it was just a case of connecting it to the USB port and switching it on. Having connected the keyboard or interface, I then show you how to find your device in the Windows control panel device manager. If you expand the "sound video and game controllers" section and plug your devices in you will see them appear in this section. If they appear correctly then they are properly installed and should work in your software. You will spot if you have a problem at this stage if you end up with a yellow triangle with a question mark icon. You will have to go over to the manufacturer's site for your MIDI device and work through their troubleshooting tips. Usually the problem is a corrupt driver. But assuming your device is correctly installed you are ready for the next video where I show you how to find your MIDI device, and enable it, in several different MIDI software programs. So hopefully by the end of this video you will see how to connect your MIDI interface or MIDI controller keyboard, and check for it in the device manager. The Roland USB-MIDI interface (the UM-One) is my preferred interface because it works really well on Windows, Mac and iPad, and Roland have fantastic customer support if you have problems. Always stick with a good brand if you can. Here is a link to the Roland so you can find out more: http://bit.ly/1HvNRF3 or here is a direct link to all the MIDI interfaces available on Amazon if you want more choice http://bit.ly/1eysFrd I also love the Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, with built in MIDI i/o so if you are looking to make audio recordings as well as a MIDI connection, then this is a rock-solid choice http://bit.ly/1HvNSIY Again, if you want to look at more brands and choice, here is a link to all the audio intefaces on Amazon http://bit.ly/1eysFYj Want to know more about MIDI?

what is MIDI? A Basic introduction: Connect Keyboard Lesson 12

what is MIDI? A Basic introduction: Connect Keyboard Lesson 12 what is MIDI? A Basic introduction: Connect Keyboard Lesson 12 This is just a quick recap of what is MIDI. So far we have been recording the sound of your keyboard, and making an audio file. Now we are going to move on and look at using your keyboard as a MIDI controller. So if you make a MIDI recording then you will be recording your performance. What notes you played, when you played them, how hard you struck the notes. You can then edit this 'performance' very easily. You can transpose, speed up, slow down, change the voice to make it sound like any instrument, synth or beat. You can use it to trigger other events in your DAW digital audio workstation software. Play games. Create your own sheet music. MIDI (stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a complete protocol or language for communicating between MIDI instruments and software. From score writing (via Sibelius and Finale) to composing in DAW's (like Pro Tools, FL Studio, Reason, Logic, Cubase and so on) the world of MIDI has no limits if you want to play, create, or compose. You can find out a lot more about MIDI at the Midi Manufacturer's association website: http://www.midi.org/ We have also written about What is MIDI here http://bit.ly/1DqnMMG and also have a complete guide on choosing a MIDI keyboard controller http://bit.ly/1IHzKxm There is a direct link here to MIDI interfaces that are available to purchase http://bit.ly/1eysFrd and also a complete range of books on MIDI http://bit.ly/1HYo1Lt So whatever you want to do in your home recording studio, there is sure to be a place for MIDI. So in the next few video lessons we will find out how to connect your keyboard to a windows pc, mac or iPad ready to record and create with MIDI, and use your keyboard or piano as a MIDI controller.

Record Keyboard On iPad With An Audio Interface: Lesson 11

Record Keyboard On iPad With An Audio Interface: Lesson 11 Record Keyboard On iPad With An Audio Interface: Lesson 11 Recording the sound of your digital piano or keyboard on your iPad, and making a good quality sound recording is very straightforward with a dedicated audio interface. Once you have your interface, all you need do is connect the audio line out of your keyboard to the line in of the interface and connect the interface to your iPad according to the instructions of your specific device. In this video I demonstrate by making a recording using my Avid Fast Track Duo. I chose this interface for its high quality and also multi-platform compatability. It can be used on Windows, Mac and iPad. Although this interface is no longer widely available, there are plenty more to choose from here: http://bit.ly/1eT7dx6 Once you have your interface, all you need is the correct cable to connect your keyboard to the recording interface http://bit.ly/1IgZl0T With a good interface you can use an iPad right at the heart of your home recording studio setup. Many standard USB audio interfaces will work with iPad, you would just need a 30-pin or lightning to USB adapter depending which iPad you own. Then you can easily make a recording of yourself in Garageband or other recording software. In this video I have demonstrated the recording capability of my interface just by making a video. The audio interface becomes the default recording device and as you can see I can easily make a video of my playing which is perfectly synced to the audio track. And because I am using an audio interface, the sound quality is great too. If you want to know more about what is an audio interface, then we have more information here: http://bit.ly/1N9J0OV and we also have a very popular article on recording the sound of your keyboard on your computer: http://bit.ly/1eysFYc Do make sure you subscribe to our channel to get the complete series of how to connect and record your keyboard or digital piano to your computer - whether you have Windows, Mac or iPad.

In this video I demonstrate how to make a simple recording of your keyboard via a USB audio interface in Garageband. I show you how to make sure you have set up the device correctly in the Audio MIDI setup on the Apple Mac, then open up Garageband (a simple DAW that is free for mac), check the audio interface is the recording device, and then start recording. I used an Apple Macbook Pro for this video on Yosemite OSX. Although I demonstrate with the free Garageband software you could use any digital audio workstation once you have your audio interface correctly connected up. An audio interface is the most important equipment in your home recording studio, so make sure you check earlier videos in this complete course for details of what is an audio interface, and how to choose one. You'll also find a couple of useful articles on our web site: What is an audio interface http://bit.ly/1N9J0OV and choosing an audio interface http://bit.ly/1Unazsj You will find links to the best-selling interfaces right now on Amazon, or if you follow the link below you can go directly to audio interfaces for sale http://bit.ly/1eysFYj If you are enjoying this series of videos on connecting and recording your keyboard, you might like this complete course on recording audio like a pro, which is available at a very reasonable price: http://bit.ly/1HYo1Lr Also, make sure you SUBSCRIBE to our channel (link below) so that you get easy access to all the videos in this series.

Record Keyboard With Audio Interface On Windows: Lesson 9

Record Keyboard With Audio Interface On Windows: Lesson 9 Record Keyboard With Audio Interface On Windows: Lesson 9 Learn how to record the sound of your digital piano or keyboard on a Windows laptop or pc, step-by-step, using a dedicated audio interface. In this video, lesson 9 in a whole series on connecting and recording your keyboard on your computer, I show you how to set up your interface in the Windows control panel, once you have correctly installed it following the manufacturer's instructions. The next part of the tutorial shows you how to connect from the audio output of your keyboard to the line input of the interface, and then make a simple recording of your piano playing in Audacity. Audacity is a very simple DAW (digital audio workstation) that is completely free and a good start if you are new to recording. Once you have made some basic recordings you can progress onto more complex software with more comprehensive features. Most recording interfaces come with some kind of recording software to get you started and you should be able to make quite a professional recording.

Record With Audio Interface: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 8

Record With Audio Interface: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 8 Record With Audio Interface: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 8 The best way to record your keyboard or digital piano is using a dedicated audio interface. Whether you want to record on Mac, Windows, Laptop or iPad you can buy a good interface that will make a professional quality recording. It is possible to buy one interface that works on all three platforms. So far I have shown you the cheapest way to record your keyboard using just a cable connected directly to your computer. Now I am going to demonstrate how you can get a better quality recording, with an audio interface that has superior functionality. What is an audio interface? Think of it as an external sound card that connects to your computer using either USB, firewire or thunderbolt. I will be showing you step by step how I use my USB audio interface to record the sound of my digital piano. It doesn't matter which interface you choose, the principles I show you will be exactly the same once you have your interface correctly connected up. What does a typical audio interface have? Many have: professional microphone inputs with built-in pre-amps;a headphone port; speaker outputs; line inputs; possibly phantom power; and maybe MIDI and digital input and output as well. Some interfaces are very simple - for example the Alesis Linelink is a very simple recording interface designed especially for just recording the sound of your keyboard or other instrument with line out. The iRig Pro is an example of a very modern interface designed especially for iPad (but equally works on Mac) that has line, Mic, and even MIDI. It's built for iPad from the ground up and definitely worth a look. So what are the key essentials if you are considering purchasing an audio interface, and your main goal is to record your keyboard or piano? Here are what I think you should look for: 1 - Good quality line inputs - essential to get good recording from keyboard or piano 2 - If you want to be able to connect a mic, then good mic inputs (XLR) with pre-amps and preferably phantom power should you wish to record using a condenser mic 3 - The ability to direct monitor so that you can record without hearing any delay (known as latency) 4 - MIDI if you would also like to make a MIDI connection and your keyboard does not have a USB port for MIDI, or you don't own a MIDI interface 5 - Go for quality rather than a large quantity of inputs and go for the very best brand you can afford. This is a good link if you want to know more about digital audio: http://bit.ly/1eysFr8 Here is a direct link to audio interfaces, now you know the essentials hopefully you can think about which to choose: http://bit.ly/1eysFYj And don't forget to get the right cables to connect your keyboard up to your interface: http://bit.ly/1IgZl0T Finally, make sure you subscribe to our channel to get all the videos in this complete, step-by-step series https://www.youtube.com/user/MusicRepoCom Visit our web site for helpful guides, hints tips and more on setting up your home recording studio: http://bit.ly/1JBIEQ3 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/musicrepo Connect with us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1CkZGCu Find us on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1eysFrn

Audio Cables Round-Up: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 7

Audio Cables Round-Up: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 7 Audio Cables Round-Up: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 7 This is lesson 7 in a complete series of videos guiding you through connecting and recording your digital piano or keyboard on your pc windows laptop, Apple Mac or iPad. So far I have shown you how to record just using a simple audio cable using Garageband or Audacity. Very simple DAW software that will enable you to make simple home studio recordings. In this video I summarise the cables I have used. Once you have worked out the right cables for your keyboard or piano, then you should be able to find them on Amazon. There is a direct link here: http://bit.ly/1IgZl0T and if you are recording on iPad or newer Macbook with the combined headphone/mic port you will need one of these adapter cables: http://bit.ly/1VXCsJ9 Are you interested in learning more about audio recording? Then there is a great, low cost course available here on Udemy that should be of interest: http://bit.ly/1HYo1Lr Keep watching, as the next part of this series will be focusing on using a professional usb audio interface - my preferred (though more expensive) way of recording your keyboard or piano.

Record Keyboard On iPad With Audio Cables: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 6

Record Keyboard On iPad With Audio Cables: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 6 Record Keyboard On iPad With Audio Cables: Record Your Keyboard Lesson 6 You can record your keyboard or digital piano directly on your iPad using just a simple audio cable and an adapter, so you can start recording very simply for just a few dollars. In this video I show you step by step which cable and adapter you will need, how to hook them up, then how to make your first audio recording in Garageband. Garageband on the iPad is very simple to use, but there are a few settings you must adjust to make sure you get a good recording. Just proceed with caution and make sure your keyboard is switched off when you connect it to your iPad. Then ensure volume is turned right down before turning it on. You can use the settings in Garageband to gradually adjust the volume upwards to the correct level. I also show you how to toggle from the set up view to the timeline view and back. Once you have learned how to record your first track you can easily build up more tracks in the timeline/track view. You can gradually create a whole finished performance, maybe add vocals and other tracks, once you have mastered the audio connections. You will need to select the correct audio cable to connect from the audio output of your keyboard to an 1/8" stereo mini-jack. My keyboard just has 1/8" mini jack out so I just need a simple cable mini-jack to mini-jack. If your keyboard or digital piano has left and right 1/4" jack outputs then you will need a Y-Cable that has 2 1/4" mono on one end and one 1/8" stereo on the other. You can find a full range of cables here, just select the right one for your keyboard/piano: http://bit.ly/1IgZl0T Then you will need an adapter cable so that you can connect the audio output of your keyboard into the mic/headphone port on your iPad. http://bit.ly/1VXCsJ9 If you want to make a better quality recording then see my future video on recording using an audio interface. Here is a direct link to audio interfaces, there are many that have been made especially for iPad: http://bit.ly/1eysFYj Then here is a direct link to the Garageband manual on the Apple site, for more in-depth instructions on how to use the software http://apple.co/1E5TZn9 Visit our web site for helpful guides, hints tips and more on setting up your home recording studio: http://bit.ly/1JBIEQ3 Check out the Music Repo Channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MusicRepoCom Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/musicrepo Connect with us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1CkZGCu Find us on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1eysFrn

Record Keyboard On Mac: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 5

Record Keyboard On Mac: Connect And Record Your Keyboard Lesson 5 Record Keyboard On Mac: Connect And Record Your Keyboard or Digital Piano Lesson 5 In this video, lesson 5 in my complete course on how to connect and record your digital piano or keyboard on your computer, I show you how to connect your piano or keyboard up to the built in microphone port of your mac and make a simple recording of the sound of it in Garageband. You could use any recording software on your mac to do the same thing. You will see how to connect from the line out/audio out/aux out of your keyboard to the microphone port of your mac. My macbook as a combined mic/headphone port - confusingly only showing the headphone symbol next to it - and so I have had to use an adapter. This is available very cheaply from Amazon or elsewhere, here is a link below to the adapter so you can see what I mean http://bit.ly/1VXCsJ9 Once you have made the correct connections, the mac will recognise you have plugged in an external device. Make sure this is selected in the settings panel and then you are ready to record. Make sure you subscribe so that you can follow the complete course. Although it is possible to record your keyboard or piano on your mac using this method, and it is VERY cheap, it is not the best way and in a future video I will demonstrate how to use a dedicated external USB audio interface. But this cheap and cheerful method gives reasonable results and if you just want to make quick recordings to monitor your own progress or for getting ideas recorded then this is how you do it.

Just find a cable that will connect to the audio out on your keyboard and convert to 1/8" minin jack to plug into the adapter above) http://bit.ly/1IgZl0T Happy recording!
