It's like some older people who drive with their chest/face up against the steering wheel... Good thing there is no airbag on a keyboard. :?

When I picked up guitar, left hand parts on piano got WAY easier. So your theory holds true for me.]]> In The Studio xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198643 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198605 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:57:07 +0000 Mikespe wrote: Thanks for the tip on sitting...I never thought of that! My piano teacher used to get after me when I'd have the bench too close to the piano. I finally developed the habit of placing the bench properly before sitting down. Hadn't thought about it for a long time, but your question brought it to mind.

Yep. :D What books are you using?

One problem I am having is playing chords in the middle of the keyboard. I have to slightly twist my body to get my hands properly prostion. Is thatg normal? I'll assume you are sitting when you play the keyboard. ? You may need to move farther back from the keyboard to allow your arm more range. Placement of the piano bench (or chair) is actually important, trivial as it might seem. You'll find the distance you like over time.

I have a couple of books but I am using THE ULTIMATE BEGINNER SERIES: Keyboard Basics without the DVD. I got it from eBay for $4.50 shipped. It comes with a CD and is layed out nicely.

Thanks for the tip on sitting...I never thought of that! :oops: I'll have to tried that tonight.]]> In The Studio Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198589 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198586 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 21:37:47 +0000

I use my keyboard as a controller for either, playing an instrument that I select i.e. bass, drums, synths, sound effects and much much more or I can use it to highlight notes while creating a pattern in the editor. I use M-Audio's MIDI Sport Uno to connect. That will change when I get my firewire though. I never heard of that program by Cakewalk...I thought I seen everything they made...I guess not. I'll have to check out your song..

Thanks guys!]]> In The Studio Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198522 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198507 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 08:41:23 +0000 I use Project5v2 & Dimension Pro by Cakewalk for my MIDI stuff.

I posted a small comp in the Hear Here section called A Morceau in Eb. It was all done using Project5v2 & Dimension Pro (the other one up there as well). I think the software is incredible. The depth and texture of the sounds is top notch and the program is so easy to use. Project5 also allows audio recording as well.]]> In The Studio Mike https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198507 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/left-hand-keyboard/#post-198502 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 07:05:02 +0000
It's an interesting concept, though!

Can't help a whit on the unrelated part. Sorry.

I was practicing my keyboard today and I knoticed that my left hand could play the chords much easier than my right hand. I am assuming this is because my left hand forms the chords on the guitar...correct? If anyone here plays keyboard I would like to hear your opinion on this.

Also, unrelated question...for those who play keyboard do you use a midi controller and if so what software do you use for the instruments? I just started using Dfruity Loops and it's AWESOME!
