![]() ![]() If you do decide you want a different virtual piano sound, or a wider rage of choices, then naturally there are other 3rd-party piano instrument plug-ins available, but at least you can start by checking out the GB piano, and then proceed from there. I guess your Behringer interface doesn't also include MIDI connections - if you want to check out the sound of the GB Steinway before you invest in a MIDI interface you could open the 'Musical Typing' window, which lets you play notes from the computer QWERTY keyboard, just to test out the sound. You still might want to tweak the EQ and reverb/ambience, but there'll be controls right there for that in GB's Software Instruments, in the Smart Controls panel at the bottom, which should make that easier to do. You could also experiment with EQ to see if that helps, maybe brightening it up, for a piano sound that's more like what you hear on pop records, if that's what you're going for.?īut if you just don't care for the particular sound of that Kawai piano then you may want to try the Steinway piano that comes with GarageBand - as you said you'd have to use the MIDI connection output], create a Software Instrument track, and select Piano > Steinway Grand Piano in the Library panel. You could try adding a little reverb or small room ambience, for more of a "roomy" sound, if that's what you'd prefer. The basic sound of the piano seems fine to me - it's not the richest-sounding virtual piano, and it doesn't have the characteristic growl of a Steinway or the bright edge of a Yamaha, but it seems ok. I know so little about it that there are probably many things I just don't know about that might help. Thank you very much in advance for anything you can suggest on getting a better recorded sound. If you have a chance, I'd be grateful if you could listen to some of my recent recordings on my YouTube channel-they were made on my Kawai digital piano, and you can hear why I'm not happy with the recorded sound. ![]() With the Kawai CA 13, I can either record through the headphone jack or through a MIDI connection. I'm wondering if I should be getting a MIDI interface and trying to use "virtual piano" samples instead. I realize it's just a digital piano, but even so I feel like if I were an expert on GarageBand, I'd be able to improve the sound results. I only have access to my digital piano for recording my piano efforts, but I'm not happy with the recording results. I am fairly new to trying to record using GarageBand. I use an inexpensive Behringer interface and record using GarageBand. My home keyboard is a Kawai CA 13 digital piano, and to record it I connect it to my Mac computer through the headphone jack on the piano.
