Re: [disklavier] How to Record from a Mark IV

2007-09-18 by Carol Beigel

The easiest way is to take the MIDI recording your Disklavier made and run 
it through your computer software.  In Pro Audio Tracks (www.pgmusic.com ) 
it is called "rendering" the MIDI file to digital audio file. The audio will 
be whatever sounds came with the soundcard on your computer.  This audio 
file can then be burnt to a CD.

I like to take the MIDI files and take them through a virtual piano (VST 
software that is installed on the computer) to get a fantastic audio 
sounding piano.  These are not cheap but sound great.  I use the Steinberg 
Grand I and Grand II VST pianos.

Another way is to take audio cables from the audio out on the DKV (setting 
the DKV  so the keyboard sounds are coming out the piano) into a digital 
audio converter box (I use an Eideral UA25) to make the audio file.  Try 
taking the audio sound of the piano off the headphone jack for an even 
better sound.

You should also have some audio editing software.  I am using an older 
version of Cool Edit, but I believe the newer Nero7 software suite also has 
an audio editor.  I believe PG music's Pro Audio Tracks also has both a MIDI 
and an audio editor.  It is also a great price!
