(Noob alert!) How to output a song with a better soundfont?

Post by Tommy »

Hi!

First of all, I'd like to congratulate the devs - great software!
Second of all, I'd like to criticize the support - I know I'm using a free version of the software for evaluation but I sent 2 emails about the same question and got no reply.

That said, I'm trying to help a friend record something on his laptop.
Using his Roland digital piano, he records the midi track and vocals with a mic. As you know, the soundfont of the operating system (W10) is quite generic and the piano track sounds bad, once you output the mixed audio file.
Is there a way to make it better with another soundfont, inside MultritrackStudio?

Thanks in advance! :mrgreen:

Sorry, I haven't seen any emails about this - not even in the spam folder. :?

You could try the Sampler. It was improved recently, the "what's new" page even mentions a piano you could try: https://www.multitrackstudio.com/version95.php

That said, why not use the sounds of his digital piano? See https://www.multitrackstudio.com/midimixdown.php

Hey Giel,

Unfortunately, the laptop doesn't have enough inputs for piano (only midi) + vocals so I'll have to "cheat" by recording the piano first as you've suggested, then vocals.
I'll surely check the differences with the new Sampler.

Thanks for the help!

Why not look for some virtual instruments (VSTi) of sounds / instruments you want that can be played via MIDI, so if you want a good sounding piano for example, look for a piano VSTi or even soundfont SF2 files. Same goes for bass and synth. Some are better than others... Lots of fairly decent free sounds / instruments out there.

That said, I don't know if the Lite version allows users to install VSTi's and SF2 sounds, etc., I presume it will so users can test things.

You mentioned piano:

K-N-M,

I tried to walk the VSTi road but the n00b inside got sidetracked. It wasn't working the way I intended.
I've even tried with VirtualMIDISynth but I crashed into a wall.
Perhaps I need a tutorial (or ten :oops:).

Thanks for replying :D
