Computer musicians...I could use your assistance!

Thanks for stopping in...

A while back I picked up a Casio WK-1630 keyboard. Ok, maybe not the greatest keyboard out there, but it allowed me to scratch my itch about learning how to read and play music...now I want to be able to record the MIDI out onto my computer. I have the keyboard MIDI'ed to my TB Santa Cruz but what commercial software would you recommend for recording the output of my keyboard? Any shareware or freeware programs that I could play around with? Basically I'm just looking for recommendations and advice...thanks!

Cubase VST

Cubase VST is amazingly powerful and has a steep learning curve. It's far too much for simple MIDI!

If you want to play with MIDI to get started, pick up a copy of Cakewalk Home Studio or similar. It's cheap, even free with a few specific sound cards!
Much less learning curve too... it's aimed for new guys like yourself.

I've been a MIDIot for yeeeears... I'm only now just making the switch from MIDI synthesizers to the VST software-sampler world. Play around and have fun... remember that you not only have the sounds built into your keyboard, but you can also use the onboard sounds of your Santa Cruz sound card (not that it's very good unless you find an old Sound Canvas daughterboard to snap onto your TBSC!)

Let me know how it works out.

And check out my temporary website... I have ONE audio example there.

Thank you for the feedback guys! I've heard of those two apps (especially Cakewalk) and I'll check em' out.
