yes.. obviously if mounted and leveled properly... it is a great quality mic.

That depends on what sort of audio quality you want.If you're just recording a home video of a recital, you'll probably be OK. Be aware that a shotgun's off-axis rejection is not very effective in small rooms or very reverberant spaces (i.e., you may pick up an unacceptable amount of room reverb).If you want something higher quality, I'd look to a mic setup that would give me good quality stereo (e.g., two condensers in a stereo pair or on separate mic stands, run through a mixer).As with most audio recording, the only way to know if a particular mic setup will give you acceptable results is to try it.

If you mean a recording function for another instrument like a guitar directly into the keyboard, I don't think so. But if you are recording MIDI IN the source (guitar) THRU the keyboard OUT into a recorder or DAW, this function is available on most keyboards with full MIDI compatibility (IN, OUT, and THRU). Here's a helpful link: http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/musichall/flexible-piano-keyboard.htm

It worked fine for me. However, don't expect this device to produce studio quality recordings.

I have not used this product to record as of yet. I used it to assist learning some choral music with previously recorded music that I transferred to SD. But now in curious and will test it out.

Yes. Everyday I record acoustically from my digital piano using four stereo channels, eight condenser microphones with different characteristics. One stereo track from large-diaphragm condenser mics is for vocals, but picks up piano selectively. I set equalization and use feedback to give my digital piano a super-Steinway sound. The TASCAM DP-24 is an excellent instrument for expressing your creativity. Phantom power can be selected to each of two banks of mics.

Piano is really tough, since they are way louder than you think.I would put headphones on and do a sound check to make sure the recording levels are where you want them.But yes, the unit will give you a good medium fidelity recording. I have some pretty good condensor mics that I attach to the zoom and the resulting audio is WAY better than the compressed audio on a video camera. If you have the external condensor mics you will get good high fidelity audio.

I haven't tried recording music, so I don't know. May try later, when it's not late. I only got it to create audio books of rare books and periodicals I have access to at a college library.FOLLOW UP: I put the unit up to my home stereo speakers. They were not at a deafening volume, but loud enough you wouldn't want to be sleeping in a room nearby. No distortions. I held the recorder right up against the speakers. It captured pretty good tone differences too, depending on which tweeters/cones I held it to.

Absolutely!!! It's a great live Music recorder. You have the option also of reducing the sensitivity of the Mic for recording sounds in high decibel areas such as concerts , which helps in reducing distortion. In my opinion a collector's item .

I have this keyboard and use a Roland CM-30 Cube Monitor with it. The Cube monitor works extremely well and has a very clean and unfiltered sound (which was important for me since I play mostly classical piano). It's also great since it's actually a mini PA with 3 inputs and a preamp for use with mics and other instruments.

If the piano has a input it should work. Not sure it would sound good through a piano. If you are that close to the piano use a wired mic. This VHF wireless mic sounds very telephone like. There is a lot of static and it sounds like you are talking over a CB radio. Get a $15 dollar wired mic and a cheap cable.

No you can't record at all this is a professional playback machine only.If you need to record you will need to look at a CD-RW900 designed for record and playback it will cost slightly more.I should also mention if you are recording an acoustic piano you will need a small mixer and a set of mics as well otherwise you should be able to use the outs from the keyboard and send those to the recorder but a small mixer setup is best in my opin.

I can't help you with that. I have only used it to record LP's to CD. It works great for that.

No. The simplest and best recording software (free) is audacity. Easy to use and works with this hardware

I have been using it for my home recording projects,( I sing on karaoke tracks for a hobby). it serves my purpose very well and I like the quality of recording I get from it. It is really good for the price. I would recommend it. If you are looking for more advanced/professional use you may want to explore more options.

I'd say it would not be my first choice due to the x-y configuration of the cardioid elements, you'll pick up the sound of the piano in the room instead of the piano. What you want to look for is a shotgun mike that is designed to pick up what it is aimed at - the piano. I suspect that you'll have the camera and mike on a tripod, so aiming at the piano will ensure success. Amazon has the Audio-Technica ATR6550 for a cool $55 that would give you what you need.

it just has the most basic features of a piano. It doesnt have memory or other types of storage. You can record it by the headphone output or MIDI output in a computer!

I think it would be good. It's easy to use. You can record, play back and Erase as you go.
