Why you should record your playing?
For Fur Elise, I noticed that the handover from right to left hand was not smooth on the last key. eg
RH - D# E D# E D# E B D C A
LH - ...............................A E A
I played with a slight pause between C and A. Physically, I could sense a slight hesitation as I engage the left hand but auditorily, it seemed ok. When I listened to my playing, these pauses irritated me like hell. hehehehe
And I would not have consciously begin to correct it if I had not recorded my playing. What you hear as you play and what your audience will hear may not be same.
I used a simple set up to record. My Casio CTK3000 gets plugged directly to my PC via USB cable which uses an onboard Realtek chip. Wondered if there will be latency but nothing significant. I dun think I will want to go for a graded hammer for my next keyboard. The CTK3000 is not that light and I have gotten use to having some resistance to my fingers. I now find some of the older Casio with non velocity sensitive keys way too light. An acoustic piano that I tried was a little heavy for my left hand and a bit floaty. A Roland stage piano action for some reason seems not floaty though.
Then use Minihost to host a piano vsti and Minihost has record functionality. http://www.tobybear.de/p_minihost.html
Anyone with a copy of the freeware Cantabile Lite (VST host) that has been discontinued? Can't find one.
