When i try to listen to it it sounds terrible. Its all wish-washy and sounds like its in an echo chamber. Also their is like a 2 second delay from when i strike the key to when it comes out of my computer speakers... My Laptop is a Toshiba satellite A665. Also i think my speakers blew out or something. i hit a key and no sound comes out, but i can hear fine with my headphones on. Hey i need help! When i try to listen to it it sounds terrible.

There is some static on the recording, but other than that it sounds fine to me. Jim, I don’t hear any high pitched mono tones.

I’m recording solo piano from my Roland KF 90 keyboard, into an Alesis 4 channel USB mixer, into my laptop with Audacity Beta.
All my mixer levels seem to be safe — I’ve even recorded at varying levels, but same distortion occurs.

I’m getting a high pitched mono tone, and distortion.

I’m pretty sure my laptop battery is dead or dying; but I’m using it with the AC power adapter.

I’m stumped.

You do need to enable output in the program you use to record audio, though. Aliza: listen to the output of the computer by plugging headphones or speakers into the computer.

You probably recorded it at 48000 Hz (or 48 kHz) and are playing it back at 44100 Hz (or 44.1 kHz). Check the settings of your soundcard and your recording program to see what you need to adjust.

Is this due to the laptop sound card or cables( had to have them custom made as the jacks are all different)? The laptop sound is very normal when I stream utube songst etc... How do I fix it if at all possible? I also connected using the midi cabel interface which I bought from Yamaha but the red dot prog didn't seem to work for me. It didn't record anything. If I wanted to record my piano piece and save it as MP3 so that I can send it to someone via email, which is the best option? thanks so much!!! suki Hi,

You need a MIDI connection and some software. See the articles on recording MIDI for more information. Most programs that can record MIDI can also show you the names of the notes.
