Thanks kb :)

Hope you guys like it! Slowly going through the album. Probably Champion of the World next.

Haha Canadian asian Coldplay fans :) Of course! I'm not sure I'll ever stop doing Coldplay songs.

Boy it's been a while since I posted in this forum. Have to get used to the look haha. Anyways, I'm still posting piano covers of new Coldplay (just like old times) if anyone's into the pianos! Working on these sheets atm:

jc :kiss::kiss::kiss: Thanks! Coldplay got me back into piano actually :)

Yo, check out my piano cover of the new single. [video=youtube;bZ6q5jgu0JU] Took a while to get the riff down with my fingers.

[video=youtube;SK7HZmv3PHs] Feels nice to do new Coldplay again. I might try to do another version soon :p

Does anyone know any good MIDI software that can export midi files? Apparently Garageband does not allow it (Apple trying to get you to upgrade to Logic)... Please and thank you

[video=youtube;z5CmzwcdoFg] Song starts at 57 seconds. Thanks to Sheryar for helping me get a better piano VST, Alicia's Keys (for the moment anyway, I will upgrade this hopefully :) )

I listen to my recordings, tracks, and videos using stereo mojito headphones. I really notice it once it's on YouTube and I listen to other videos and compare the volume to mine (but perhaps should test the volume levels throughout the process). Are you saying I should adjust the volume of the track (via the options tab) before adding to iMovie? Is this what you're supposed to do? In the past, I've tried to increase the volume of the audio track on iMovie, but not too much to introduce noise at high velocity playing.

Well I think the audio interface will also function as a sound card, correct? So it should be able to handle all the recording activity as well. I think I will hold off of purchasing one for the moment, and test out more VSTs. I do like The Giant (sounds lovely in your cover :) ), but my tastes edge toward the more mellow sounding pianos in general (just not too much at the bass notes!). I'll likely be uploading some upcoming videos on my YouTube using Alicia's Keys, if anyone is interested.

Ok, I think it sounds closer to what I've heard from others, not too bad. But I think the biggest shortcoming is that I'm finding the lower registers are unable to handle fast pace playing. It's quite muffled, and the action is slow. Still teetering on the thought of purchasing Session Strings... After doing some reading, Synthogy's Ivory II seems to be one of the upper class VSTs? Galaxy's sound pretty good as well.

I bought Alicia's Keys. I'm trying to figure out some settings...but it sounds a bit off. Especially a few (two that I've noticed) bass keys. People's recordings on sound cloud and youtube using this VST sound pretty decent though, so perhaps I have to work at it.

Oh my....they are on sale now. This is such perfect timing. I'm thinking of Alicia's Keys and Session Strings for the ultimate combo. Or I maybe get both Alicia's Keys and The Giant. But I will do some more research this weekend before rushing into it. My macbook should be able to handle those without latency problems? I'm also hoping I won't have to adjust too many settings to make it sound right (as I've read in some comments). Also, I've been finding that whenever I record on Garageband, export it to iTunes, add the audio to my video (on iMovie), export as mp4 video file, and finally upload to YouTube, the sound volume is rather low. Do you know the reason behind that?

I'm assuming you are using that VST in your videos? If I purchase one, what is included? Can I use it on Garageband? Also, what exactly is music xml format?
