Is it good for recording piano?

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.

Yes indeed, with the built in microphones you require a quiet place, or a soundproof room. Or you cn plug a less sesitive mic and get all the sounf from piano only

I have used this to record a baby grand and an upright. The built-in mics are great at about a 5' distance. Additionally, you can plug in some other nice condenser mics and record with those as well for a total of FOUR tracks of piano! It's one of the best small, portable recorders, I've owned and I've been a recording engineer and sound for film engineer for 30 years. It's very sturdy and incredibly well-built. SOUND IS MAGNIFICENT.

I have 6 of these and record jazz with them. Here is an example of a piano solo recorded with the H4n. Jeff Barnhart is playing Fats Waller's stride piano composition...Handful of keys. The sound quality is far better than the Tascam DR50 that I used to ownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dg_gZJpQZU

I use it to record home demos on my iPad using an inexpensive docking station. I also use it to practice melody line. I have never used it live. It is just a way for me to know I am off vocally and re-record.

Can this product do overdubbing--say, can you record piano and then go back and record voice over it? I didn't see anything about that capability in the product info.

you could and it would work , but I don´t know about the quality of the recording since that is only for monitoring purposes. If there is line out in your keyboard I would use that

This is a great recorder, and it record in high quality... I think if you just want to record conversations, you could probably find a simpler recorder. I use that all the time as musician, because I can have a real notion of how I played listen to the recording that this thing make. Yes, if you just want record conversations, it is better to find a simpler recorder... :)

I've used it to record audio directly from a DJ audio mixer. It worked perfectly and the sound was clear.

If you mean can you transfer data from the piano to the computer and back, yes, you can. It's on page 98 of the user's manual if you can view that online. Beyond that I can't get into detail; I only use the piano for live recording via a mic, and it's terrific! :)

Piano>Microphone>Amplifier with mic input>Amplifier line output>CD recorder. Tascam CD-200 is not a recorder; it is for playback only.

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.

No it won't work for recording. I even used a mic that was not the Livescribe one and it didn't work well at all.

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.

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's fine for me, good enough to record little demos on. But if you're looking for something that records studio-quality, you'll need to pony up for an LS-10, which records at 24/96 linear PCM.The sensitivity on the DS-30 is only adjustable in 3 settings, though, so if you're thinking about recording rock concerts, it'll probably still clip at the lowest sensitivity.

I used it strictly for recording study lessons, and it worked well it is an excellent recorder. you may find what you're looking for at Tmart, and they're having a big sale right now on voice recorders/mp3.

It doesn't have a midi input, but if your piano has a 1/8" output the amp should work fine.

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!

You can put music in it, but I'm not too sure what you mean by recording music.
