Help me make a decision

[noodleq]

I currently have a Casio CDP-200R
it has a one and only USB outlet: using A-B type cable

i want to be able to do recording of the sound my digital piano makes.
i tried sony's acid xpress, music masterworks, and pianissimo.
acid xpress almost worked but the sound came out really weird, i don't know how to explain.
they don't really make the cut as the sound recorded only translates to midi file only and i can only choose the tone/instrument/sound i want to from the programs.

bottomline is which free-downloadable program i can use to record any kind of sound made by my dp? thank you

p.s. if i do need to buy a program, what would you recommend? is it available in pirated form?

Here's one decision. Don't be using pirated shit or even mention it on this site. It's stealing no matter what way you slice it.

If you want to record the audio from your keys you'll need an audio interface. Expect to spend at least $100. Most come with a decent recording program that is an LE or lite version of one of the major ones (cubase, pro tools etc..).

I'd look at Presonus or M-audio.
