Message: [QUOTE="Ted Nicoson, post: 173173, member: 5155"] Xera I record to the keyboard's internal song recorder. At that point, it is in a Casio proprietary format. Then I use the IDES software to upload it to the PC. I tell the IDES software to convert it to a Standard MIDI file as it uploads it, so when it gets onto the PC, it is in SMF format. This is strictly a file transfer process. I am not "playing" the song into the PC - just transferring it to the PC. I do not record to the PC's DAW software. I only use the PC's DAW software to edit the song once the IDES software has uploaded it to the PC and converted it. For me, that keeps the recording process as simple as possible. I do not have to set up the PC's DAW software to do the recording. The keyboard's song recorder knows by design which tracks to record everything to, and I know where to expect to find everything once I do open it with the DAW software for editing. The fact that you asked about the Windows Sound Recorder tells me that you are still confused about the difference between "sound" and MIDI files (data). A MIDI recorder does not record sound at all. It records physical key presses - numerical data that represents which key was pressed when, how hard it was hit, and when it was released. You could not play a MIDI file through a sound system and hear anything intelligible. In this entire process, you will not be dealing at all with real "sound". You will be dealing strictly with MIDI data. Good luck ! [/QUOTE]
