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
