Recording a Digital Piano

You can record a digital piano in two ways:

1. Audio recording. This records the actual sound that the keyboard makes. To do this, you'll need to route one or two of the audio outputs of the keyboard to some sort of audio interface.
2. MIDI recording. This records the notes that you play in a digital format.

Can you record digital piano with USB?

Please refer to your device manual for more details. Note: Some digital pianos have a built-in USB Audio Interface, which allows them to transfer digital audio via their USB port, while normally USB ports on digital pianos only support MIDI data.

What is the best way to record a piano?

Use a bigger room as this will provide a fuller sound. Use a mic with a delicate diaphragm such as a ribbon or condenser microphone. Open the lid to provide a fuller, clearer sound. Place one microphone close to the strings to pick up the attack and one farther away to pick up the ambiance.
