Thanks for all your tips. I have the cable now and a combination of that and using the EQ in Audacity to back off some the higher frequencies a little the sound is better to my ears anyway. The Casio I have does have reverb on/off and at ten levels, but I have found the Virtual Hall feature is...

Ah, thanks I see. I was just using the headphones to listen, but even listening to the direct recording on the Zoom player or listening to the OGG file on Audacity it was the same. 0ne more question about stereo. :) I have ordered the Y cable. I know the keyboard is capable of stereo but it...

It sounds pretty good playing it just with headphones on but it is the way it comes out when recorded that I was struggling with. I did start by using big reverb and it sounds great through headphones or the keyboards own speakers even but not very nice once recorded. I'm using a Zoom R8 which...

I've ordered that. Won't see it for a week though. When I get it I will record the same intro and see if it improves. This is how it is now sounds now. Bass ok (to my ears anyway) but treble horrible. Great Gig in the Sky Intro - Keyboard cover by Tintaglia | Free Listening on SoundCloud

Thanks to everyone, very helpful. :thumbs up: I'll try getting a cable. Does this sort of thing look ok or is it too cheap? I couldn't see a better quality one. Re Rob's suggestion of recording dry, I will have a play with that, I'm such noob with recording (and a semi-luddite) I have...

That sounds interesting. :thumbs up: Perhaps that is why the treble is so tinny and yet the bass is fine.

I have a Zoom R8 and I agree about using the internal mics for a warmer acoustic guitar sound. But it is awkward in a home setting as you say with extraneous noises. Just when you are on your best take ever someone drops something or walks by..:rolleyes:

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I should have said. It is as you say from the headphone socket (output) on the keyboard to the zoom using 3.5mm jack plugs. It is a standard guitar lead, no gold ends or anything.

I have never played a keyboard but bought a Casio CTK 3500 at the start of lockdown. I have been learning (slow process!) just from online videos. I am using a Zoom R8. I like the sound of the bass notes recorded but the treble sounds like a child's plastic keyboard. The tune I am learning...

Hello all, thanks for allowing me to join! I live in the UK and mostly just record acoustic guitar using my Zoom R8. Although I have tried out connecting the guitar directly I prefer the warmer sound I get using the excellent condenser mics. I have a basic question and a clip regarding...
