I'm wondering what the easiest way to simultaneously record from a microphone and a digital piano would be. not having done it either, I nevertheless have a thought... Still use Audacity, just make a separate track for the voice, then you can mix it down to however many tracks you want. that way you can redo the voice if you mess up, or re-mix if you don't like the levels. that's hard to do if you record it all into the same (set of) track(s). I'd assume your piano also has an audio output, so you could plug it into a computer's line input and record from that. I'd further assume you'd prefer a "real" piano sound over midi. but I might be wrong there. Good luck, and let us know how it goes. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) -----------------------------
