It is good enough for casual recording and youtube quality. If you want better quality, you need to consider Vado HD which is more expensive.

I think it would record live music very well. Keep in mind it is directional so the majority of sound comes from the "super cardioid" pattern or field, and it's what's ahead of it and not as much to the extreme sides or behind the field that this mic is designed to pick up. Here is a URL to show images of a super cardioid field. http://www.google.com/search?q=Super+Cardioid&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&source;=univ&sa;=X&ei;=wocbUvafEuahiQLR1IHQDA&ved;=0CDQQsAQ&biw;=1443&bih;=844 I think it would do well if you recorded the band positioning the camera and mic 20-30 feet away.

i am not sure of specifics but what i record into the recorder sounds as good as the original. the mic pick up is amazing for recording a piano from across the room. i consider piano recording as the holy grail of recording, very hard to get it right but this recorder does a great job!! i have also recorded albums, cassettes and even an old 8-track and they have all sounded very good!!

Yes, it should work quite well if you get all the settings correct (in the Control Panel Sound app make sure the "Recording" tab has the "Line" setting turned on).

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.

I haven't used it for that purpose, however, it has picked up music in the background of my recordings very clearly. I would keep the recorder at a bit of a distance from the piano, since having it very close tends to "fuzz" the recording a bit.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

yes, both instruments and vocals record well with exceptionally sharp response and clarity. I have found myself using the built ins more and more. Of course your room or recording area accoustics can be a contributing factor as well as distance from the recorder. Experiment, you won't be disappointed.

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.

It's great for voice recording when attached to portable recording devices. However, if you're looking for a serious "studio quality" mic for musical applications, you should adjust your price range up and look elsewhere.

I haven't actually recorded piano music without singing, but it works fine for accompanied singing. However, you must transfer the recording to a computer with a good speaker system. The speakers in the recorder are, to be generous, almost useless.

Yes and the sound quality can be amazing if you tweak the settings for your recorder. I learned to shut off the Low Cut Filter (which was killing the bass but helped voice recording) and set the Record Mode to PCM for CD quality. I am very happy with the music recording and the playback sounds great with the included stereo earbuds.

First of all, (unfortunately) I am not a musician. I got this piano for my son's lessons. To my untrained ear, it sounds terrific. When he's played for others (including professional musicians), they have all commented on the quality of the sound that's being produced. We have been very happy with this purchase, good luck with yours.

yes, and quite good one. It is especially good for interviews, recording concerts, musical bands, etc. I recommend to check on youtube.

You should be able to run the output of your digital piano into this box and then take the output of this box and plug via usb into your computer allowing you to record your piano on whatever recording software you have available. Purchase of this box gives you Tracktion which is a pretty good digital audio workstation.

Although I like the mic for back-up vocals in live venues, I probably would not use it for recording purposes. I've never used it for mic-ing a piano or other instrument.

I would get the highest quality you can afford. This is fine for hobbyist quality but if you want professional type recording I would think you need something better
