  • nice tutorial! I have done this before... but a question remains for me. Is it possible to access the sound banks of Yamaha and use them in your DAW? Or maybe plug the keyboard through midi output and record it as a standalone instrument on a seperate channel ? In a same way as a guitar through "inst" port - works ?

  • @Noiziq I do not think you can access the sounds of the S900 with your DAW. You'll have to route it with actual audio via line out into an interface or recording with the built-in WAV recorder and bringing it into the DAW. Not the most convenient, but doable!

    Best of luck!

  • Hello! I'm having a hard time emailing my audio recordings. Because of attachments file limit. How can i reduce the MB of my audio recording? Thanks!

  • @TheMikecon24 Try using software to convert the WAV files to MP3 files. There are converters for free. Also, you can use a hosting site, like Box.net to hold the files.

    Let me know how that works for you!

  • @wisambasil That's called latency - you'll need an external soundcard, or you can download ASIO4ALL (I have a video on that). Good luck!

  • @AndrecJC hey mann how do u get it to work really good?? i have psr e423 and when i connect it to fl studio or ableton and play with the keyboard the sound sends to the computer like 2 seconds after..... any ideas on how to fix that???

  • i have not connect with my keyboard to pc.(yamaha psr550) how to connect with PC could you help me... my Email ID;samtriton0011@gmail.com

  • @prince4d The DAW should be able to render the MIDI tracks as a WAV file. What program are you using?

  • Say you've recorded midi tracks from psr s900 into a DAW. Now will it be possible to export those parts from your DAW into a WAV file? Or you will have to somehow convert the midi tracks into audio tracks prior to export?

  • hi please can u make a demo on how to record the modifications made to a particular instrument in a song using the mixing console..i mean if u want to control the pan or filter of a particular track..how do u do so once uve recorded ur entire song.
