One thing you might want to do is see if there's an equalizer setting on your keyboard for adjusting its audio output. For instance, my cheap Yamaha models have a "MasterEQ" function that can be set to "Line Out 1" or "Line Out 2" for when the "PHONES/OUTPUT" jack is connected to external equipment.

You can't record a microphone or other audio source on a MIDI track. Try using an audio track and it should work.

I think there might be two versions of the "Add-On Manager," because the n-Track web site has an "Add-On Manager" page in their support area, but if you're using that page to purchase add-ons then there don't seem to be any "Get" buttons. I think perhaps they only show up if you open the "Add-On...

Alice, I'm looking at the online User Guide, and the "Get" button is in the "Add-On Manager" program. This is described in section 3.5.3 of the User Guide.

Yes, $20 was a deal compared to its normal price of $50 (I checked it at the other online stores yesterday for comparison). But as I said, the various online stores often have it as part of a special bundle, or otherwise on sale. I got my copy a few years ago at $50, but it was bundled with...

If you don't have Native Instruments Komplete, today's "Stupid Deal of the Day" at Musician's Friend is NI Komplete Elements. It's just an abbreviated version of Komplete, but is a lot less expensive than Komplete-- $50, as opposed to $200 or more (depending on the version). Komplete : Bundles...

With guitar voices (as Yamaha calls the different instrument sounds), the quality of the sample is certainly important, but playing technique can be even more important. Try to play the chords with a rolling motion from left to right across the keys, the way a guitarist strums on the strings...

Well, that looks correct to me. So now I'm wondering what the MIDI output on the track looks like-- i.e., what virtual instrument is it assigned to, or what hardware instrument? I see it says "Violins," but I'm not sure if that's a patch name on an external sound module/synth, or a virtual...

It works for me in Cubase Elements 8, so I'm not sure what you might be doing wrong. Can you post a screenshot showing the track in the key editor with the automation lane visible so I see what you're doing?

I've never heard of anything like that. The only thing that comes to mind is that it almost sounds like the receiving device is doing a device reset, "GM System On" initialization, or some other procedure that's taking it 3 seconds to complete. Do you have a way to monitor the MIDI messages that...

Looping a piano sample can sound "unnatural" because of the natural differences inherent in the harmonics of the attack, decay, sustain, and release portions of the sample; when the sample is looped to lengthen the sustain, you might be able to hear when the looping occurs. The best suggestion...

If Media Composer First is like Pro Tools First, you'll probably have to save your projects in the cloud-- it's free, but the space is limited. I should hope that they'll let you export to a local file when you're all done.

What are you using now? I haven't tried any of these, but following are a couple that I'm aware of: Video Editing Software. Download Free Video Movie Editor Media Composer | First | Avid And of course there are many others that aren't free, but that have free trials.

I agree, the current licensing fee for REAPER is extremely reasonable, especially since it's for the full version-- which, as you point out, is also the only version. This is very different from other DAWs where there are usually at least 3 or 4 different versions, and the free (if there is one)...

I've got Pro Tools First installed, but I never made much of an effort to learn how to use it, and when I did try it began crashing or displaying errors for one reason or other-- a message saying that the selected sample rate isn't compatible with the selected playback engine, shutting down...

Good luck with it! :) Keep us posted.

I've tried to keep the following notes brief. Hopefully the second half won't be too difficult to follow without pictures. :) USB-MIDI INTERFACE CONNECTIONS Connect the MIDI IN of the USB-MIDI interface to the MIDI OUT of the PSR-E313 keyboard. (You want the keyboard's output to go into the...

Ah, okay! :) I have Elements 8 and 9 myself, but haven't switched over to using Cubase exclusively yet.

Since the PSR-E313 has MIDI ports, I take it you're using a MIDI-to-USB adapter, or maybe a USB audio interface that has a MIDI port? I have Ableton Live (Lite) and a PSR-E443 keyboard, so I should be able to help you as long as there isn't some kind of technical problem with the MIDI...

The "lite" version of Cubase isn't free, at least not if you're talking about Cubase Elements; it's $99 new, or less to update from an earlier version. It doesn't require a dongle (thankfully), just the eLicenser. Of course, it's available as a 30-day free trial, which might be what you meant...
