Is it impossible to convert midi to audio that was created using my Korg M50 external keyboard? From what I understand, only vst instruments that create midi data can be converted to audio. I am able to record my Korg M50 as audio, connected directly into my Scarlett 4i4 interface. The only change I need to make is set the Korg's midi local control to "on" for recording audio and "off" for recording midi. But obviously if I want to publish my music or burn to a cd, any midi data needs to be converted to audio. So unless you know otherwise, I'm stuck plugging my Korg's output into my interface's input and record as audio. There is no way I know of to record midi from the Korg and bounce the track to audio. It doesn't work. (I'm using Cakwalk by Bandlab as my DAW.) Thank you for all your videos, they are extremely helpful.

Well done for a crystal clear video that makes it easy to understand for a newcomer to the home recording scene (albeit I've been a working musician for 35 years). Many thanks.

This is the only video on KZread that I actually understand. Made for people like me who are starting from scratch. I also watched videos from other youtubers, how to connect electric drums, but i found it hard to catch with the tutorials. Your video is very well done and easy to follow, thank you very much, you helped me a lot.

Jane, why can't all KZread videos be as clear as this one?! Just brilliant! Thank you.

Hello and many thanks to you for those clear and detailed video tips and hints! While I have been creating music for years, doing so entirely solo at home is a relatively new (and exciting) thing for me. I find myself at odds with my own gear and software quite often, and my struggles are usually rooted in the simplest things. Accidentally stumbling upon one of your tutorials was the best little thing that could happen to me, especially since you cover a lot of the software and hardware I happen to use as well. Anyhow, this chap wishes you a spiffingly good day :D

This is the best video about recording the audio out of a keyboard. I went through lots, but this is the clearest one to follow along for beginners like me

You are my hero!! Thank you for explaining a complex subject so simply and thoroughly. Great for people like me who have no musical background.

thank you. you'd be surprised how long it took me to find an organized explanation! great resource, thank you. i find that others that have had to figure it out the hard way see it as a rite of passage, where at worst it could be considered gatekeeping. had a Mopho I didn't even use for over a year because i genuinely couldnt figure it out, posting diagrams asking for help on forums and stuff, people were acting like I was straight up stupid and said as much, however no one was able to simply tell me to USE AN XLR CABLE INSTEAD OF AN UNBALANCED 1/4" JACK. anyways thank you so much for facilitating the production of music around the world.

thanks to you after a long struggle i realized i was using guitar inputs instead of line inputs and finally have the ability to record my Juno-6 in Reaper 🙏🏻

Thank you , I'm in audio production and thought that was a great step by step intro on setting up the hardware. I've played the piano for years and I'm just know starting to include it in my music. Have a great day ,and thank you .

Ive spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to record from my keyboard to my laptop. Thanks for this - so understandable!

Incredibly helpful, been struggling to know what I can do with my FP-30 that doesn't have a line-out

This is amazing. All the time I was putting my USB into my Yamaha digital piano and then connecting the USB in my laptop, right after transfer the recorded .wav file to Adobe Premiere Pro. Once there I tried to make the piano music sound very professional using the pluggins of Premiere Pro like the compressors and mastering, adding gain but it didnt sound like a Pro so after seeing your video seems like I need to use an Audio Interface and record DIRECTLY to the PC or using a portable recorder as the Zoom to have a HIGHER quality. I will try that. Thank you so much! 😊

how r u so helpful most people on youtube don’t do anything and just trick you to watch the video, thank you so much

This video was a miracle from God. We just happened to have focusrite laying around the house but didn't know what to use it for. My daughter had an assignment to record an original song on audacity from her keyboard and we didn't know how to connect it to the computer. Hallelujah

Thank you! You explain everything very thoroughly, and clearly. I may now proceed with recording accompaniments for my school's online only (thanks covid :( ) choir.

Wonderful video for beginners in recording, thank you so much!

Fabulous explanation!!!! I have been looking for helpful videos to connect my Korg pa 700 to my PC to record audio and yours is the only helpful and well understandible video! Thank you so much! You have made my day!

I record digital audio via usb with my Roland FA-08 to my sound card and record the audio into Magix Sound Forge Pro perfectly. I do not use the analog outputs at all.

Thank you so much!! I saw your video just in time to buy a synthesizer on sale. Good to know about Audacity. It is compatible with my older Mac. All the best to you and music making!!

Oh my god thank you so much. I was losing my mind with all the other convoluted guides online.

Great video! I now know everything there is to know how to record my music in better quality instead of my video camera lol.

So well explained. Thank you very very much for this excellent guide!

I used to be quite a geek 30 years ago... and I had no clue how simple it had become to record oneself nowadays. What has become more complex, though, is the wide range of hardware and software available and ultimately: what it the best solution for one particular individual? Thanks to your videos, it was very easy to chose which hardware to purchase (I chose a Scarlett 4i4) in order to connect a Roland HPi piano and a Microphone to my MacBook. I guess that Garageband will do the job for a while, until I become more sophisticated... Thank you very much!

This was an incredibly comprehensive video, thank you for this!

Thank you so much for this video, it was an eye-opener to me. Keep up the good work of training people. I thank the Lord for you.

u r a genius to even think of helping ppl out with this video.. Thank you! been searching for this content for a long time to bypass getting a need to get a interface like focusrite, and yes, with a digital keyboard which has a usb B to usb A can be used in garage band and you can select audio track and start recording the actual sound of the keyboard ..!! I thought only audacity can do it and been using it instead .. so you actually dont need a middleman like soundcard such as focusrite/universal to record your keyboard unless you are looking for MIDI inputs to play with VST(sounds other than what your piano/keyboard can provide)

RIGHT thank you so much this helped me understand the Focusrite company a lot more!!! it’s factual, easy to understand and you obviously know what you’re talking about. if only i had found you earlier on 👍👏👏

Thank you for your informative vids. I truly enjoy them!

It's worth noting here that my digital piano didn't require a separate audio interface to record with Garageband. I have a Yamaha B3 Silent upright piano which has two usb ports, one for midi and one for connecting to a host (USB type-B). All I've had to do is plug a USB type-b frpm the host port of my piano directly into my Mac and select a new audio recording in Garageband instead of the midi one (which is what I was doing before hence why I was watching this video). Many thanks for the information, you've got a new subscriber :)

You're brilliant! Thank you so much...... So easy to understand.

Thank you for making this video. Soooooo helpful.

this helped me a Lot, thank you!!

Thank you so much! I was completely lost. Double like!

Simply outstanding!

I cant hear piano when playing, plugged audio interface in to mic port in back of piano and midi is plugged in to midi both usb plugged into mac but sound is only made when starting a midi track and not a audio track so I'm not getting benefits of the interface.. any ideas? Thank you!

this was such a helpful video thank u

Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial! It truly is amazing for people (like me) who get nervous and want to destroy everything when confronted with the decision 'which cable to buy'. I've been known for messing up the easiest of choices ahah I always made music, but never really got the urge to record it (until now). I'm trying to make due with what I already own, but I'm not getting any success. Would you mind helping me? I have a standard Yamaha Clavinova CVP-83S piano (midi in/out, headphones jack 6.3), Korg Triton Workstation (all connections possible) an old Digitech VX400 vocal effects processor and USB computer recording interface (L and R XLR outputs, USB connector, headphone monitor jack 3.5, MIC input for studio condenser microphones, stereo line inputs). At the moment I use a standard non-condenser mic connected to the VX400 and then output it to a rather inexpensive but OK guitar amplifier. How can I successfully record voice (and piano) to my computer through audacity? And can I somehow record voice using the effects on the processor and not the ones built-in on audacity? Super confused, would appreciate it immensely if you could give me any pointers!!!!

This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!

So, using a headphone jack of a keyboard to record the sounds of that keyboard into a digital recorder is just fine. Thanks a lot.

I've connected my keyboard with my computer using a mono sound adaptor and the other end a standard 3.5 but the sound is distorted in my pc..

You are very cool. Very well explained tutorial for even the most technophobic person in the world. Nicely presented. Just to point out that not all USB outputs send MIDI I have a dedicated USB MIDI output to PC on my digital piano and also a USB slot for both input and output that sends audio to PC as well. Congrats on a great tutorial

Everything else works completely fine but when I’m playing real-time I can’t hear the notes, can anyone offer advice? Edit: never mind, I got it to work, click on edit>preferences>recording>cancel overdub> apply software play through of input instead> click ok

I've spent hours mixing with the levels with no result. Any advice? Or any videos you can recommend? Many thanks.

Great work. Thanks alot for all the trouble you have taken. My yamaha keyboard has Audio Output L and L/R and also a headphone jack output. In this case which one should I use to connect to the audio interface?

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!

Great video! Thanks for the guide. I have a question, about the audio interface, I only have an affordable $10-$20 audio interface and I really want my recording without whitenoise or any kind of background noise, is that enough or do I need to invest to a more expensive audio interface?

This is awesome, thank you thank you thank you!

You really are a lifesaver to any technophobe. I love you.😍
