Good for you, Anand. Recording wave files to a DAW is fairly straight forward. It's when you need to record MIDI is when it gets complicated. Fortunately, I have FINALLY figured it out, no thanks to Yamaha.
If you decide to record with a DAW, on the Genos, set the Master EQ and Compression to Flat and None. In the Mixer section, remove all reverb, chorus, and effects, except if the style you use has an effect specific to Indian music not available in your DAW. The reason for all that is because you have far greater flexibility in adding effects, EQ, and compression through a DAW. Even the most basic DAW comes with a few nice plugins. There are lots of free plugins on the internet, as well.
The fact you're doing this for your family is wonderful. I'm doing the same thing during this quarantine period. My grandfather was an artist and I have several of his original works hanging in my house - including a mint condition ink drawing he made during the Battle of Passchendaele. I will pass these down to my kids and grandchildren someday. I'm a terrible artist but a pretty good musician. Instead of passing artwork to my kids and grandkids, I'm leaving behind my music - hence my desire to learn all about recording. So, don't stop at one song, even a very long one
!
Stay well...
