The technical details
All tracks are recorded on my Yamaha P-140 Electronic Piano. Honestly, it's as good or better than a real piano. It's the piano who's keys adorn the top of this page.
My recording process is somewhat convoluted but it seems to work well:
- I record direct from speaker output to Minidisc (I still have an original Minidisc)
- I record from minidisc to my Thinkpad X41 laptop through a Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS Notebook sound card
- I use the Smart Recorder program bundled with the Audigy2 card as it helps easily separate the tracks
- I save as stereo wav files at 44.1k and 16 bit - they are huge files
- I use the free, and awesome, Audiograbber software to both normalize the tracks and create mp3 files at the same time
- I edit the metadata in the Zune mediaplayer
