[Music] Recording Software

So I just picked up a USB MIDI converter hardware that connects my keyboard to my computer. Well I want to have a program that I don't have to spend $20000000000 dollars to get the "Pro" version or can just be easily "taken" from torrents on the internet. ;o;

You mean MIDI data recording, or audio recording...?


For audio recording, I'd suggest audacity because it's free and O.K.


But if you're talking about recording midi stuff, because you mentioned getting that USB to MIDI converter, then, uh, I dunno, Finale? Finale has an O.K. midi input interface. Digital Performer is best, though, but it's Mac only, and not cheap.


If you want something that does it all, go for Pro Tools, but it's pretty pro, so I hope your computer is powerful.

What I mean is I want to record from the Keyboard. I tried Audacity, and it can't find the software. I tried FL Studio but it is so complicated and it won't record it. D:

You want to record ... what?

I mean, if you have a midi keyboard with, like, piano sounds, and string sounds, and bass sounds, and synth sounds, and you're trying to record those sounds, then a MIDI to USB converter won't do shit for you. That's not how it works.

If you're trying to record those sounds your keyboard makes, you want to use the, like, the headphone jack on the keyboard and plug it into your audio in on your computer. It's a little low tech, and the quality might be iffy, but it should still work okay.


But, like, the USB to MIDI thing won't actually record those sounds. It'll just record the data, or in other words, it'll record when a key is being pressed, and for how long. And then your COMPUTER will interpret that with ITS midi, like the MIDI that you use to play back midi files on your computer. It's not the same midi set as the one on your keyboard...

Well in FL Studio it picks it up with the instrument I set on FL.

So say I have a piano track, and play on the keyboard in bongo drums, it still comes out in Piano.

But it won't record D:

If you're getting that far, then there's no reason why you can't record the midi data and have FL play it back. Just keep messing around with it.


But if you're talking about turning what you've already done into audio...

... there's usually a "bounce" option somewhere. I never used FL studio, because it sucks, but both Pro Tools and Digital Performer have this.

When it bounces, it basically plays it back and self-records for you, and then makes an mp3 or wav or aiff or whatever you want.

I have no idea how to do this in FL studio.

I can't find it anywhere, and I don't have the money for either Pro Tools or Digital Performer. ;o;
