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!
