Hi guys, I'm dealing with a new challenge. I'm trying to record my piano playing with a commentary, I'm using: - OBS Studio - VMPK - HD camera - MIDI cable for the vmpk - audio cable to LINE-In for the sound of the piano (I'm not using sound fonts) - microphone I haven't figured how to set OBS audio...

Interesting. Yes, I'm using midi-usb cable. However, what I need is the virtual keyboard - I want to make a tutorial for a friend and these virtual keys are much better. I want to use OBS to create a combination of the virtual keyboard and my hands (to see the fingering). Well, I'm also thinking con...

So the software does matter.. ? - is it the synth or the virtual piano software?
Right now, I don't really feel like buying anything. It's just an experiment

Just so I know, should I upload the soundtrack into Qsynth and VMPK or only VMPK is enough?

@sue What sounds are you looking to make? If you'd just like a nice piano, and you'd rather just load an SF2 into VMPK, search for "salamander piano sf2". Maybe this link? https://sites.google.com/view/hed-sounds/salamander-c5-light thank you tseaver for your tip. Yes, I do look only for ...

Well, I managed to do set it up
however, I've tried several different soundfonts and all the sounds are somewhat ugly. Nothing like the sample audio plays - could it be because of the programs? it shouldn't.. it all sounds like the cheapest keyboard

Thank you Varpa,
I see I set myself quite a goal
I'll check the links and YT. I've watched some so I figured that I need OBS .. so I need to find a setting to more things than just VMPK.
I so don't want to give up

Hi, I could really use your help now :-). In a nutshell: I have an older Yamaha keyboard, midi-usb cable and VMPK. I've managed to set VMPK up and it shows pressed keys nicely. However, - and now I might want something that is not possible - I don't get any sound out of the program. I haven't instal...

thank you varpa, I've tried once Ardour without luck so I'll try it again with fresh eyes later. Harry_Krishnerd: thank you, I've surprisingly managed to record the piano :-) it was at night so I hope I'll be skilled enough to do it again :lol: I've read the entire section on Notation and haven't fo...

Hi, I have a digital Yamaha P-95 and a USB/midi cable but so far I haven't had enough luck to set things up right to capture the keys that I'm playing. I know the cable is OK (once a small app worked but its purpose was different). I've learned here, that I need Jack to make it work, however, my tri...

Thank you guys! You could get around this by using a fade in Audacity before the noise becomes audible. You can probably see the noise in Audacity. And there is some background hissing (you can hear it at the end, while the final chord is fading out), but I wouldn't worry about it, it's pretty norma...

Well, I struggle even with the bit settings and so on
Anyways, here FLAC, 16 bit, 8 (the best) quality...

can you hear the fragment?

I see! That brings up another important factor.... - what format would be the best to use? Audacity offers also some aiff (I don't have a foggiest idea what that is...). However, I guess that FLAC is the best format to avoid losing quality..? - from what I've heard.. I could use some insights on tha...

I see,
I guess it's also in the audio itself (it's too noisy here at the moment, I can't hear anything , not even my own words )

fade out of the last chord That fade out is actually played by my own hands :wink: There is absolutely no editing in terms of sound. It's exported as MP3 with 320kb/s (https://ctrlv.cz/GcUB) - I'm not entirely sure what the best setting is either :roll: I used this online converter to make a video ...

poor compression isn't unlikely... since I have to make into a video via a convertor :oops: There is also the matter of 'boosting' the signal in alsamixer and sound volume on the piano :roll: I'm still experimenting. And also the Grand Piano sound sounds a little bit messier. I haven't decided which...
