Topic: DAW Advice Needed

[Nova227]

 Looking for your ideas and experiences on which DAW ( Logic, Garage Band , Cubase , etc) to use with Sx 900 ?
I would like to be able to sent a song created on the PSR (midi) then send it to a Daw for more detailed editing .

I have an IPad Air 4 with GarageBand and a small audio interface and a Midi interface and I find that it works pretty well and it doesn't take up any space.

I have Cakewalk by Bandlab, and it's free to download and install forever. It also includes updates when needed.Its a full-featured DAW and interfaces nicely with my Genos, so it should also work with your PSR SX 900 as well.

I also recommend Cakewalk.
Look at the keyboard and DAW settings, you can find instrument definitions in the video description.

Hi --

I use both Cakewalk and Cubase. Cakewalk gets more use simply because I've been using it forever (or so it seems). To me, Cakewalk handles SysEx editing better and it's easier to place/order events when creating a new style.

Be sure to download and install the instrument definition file for your DAW, no matter what.

When I want to do detailed drum editing in a MIDI file, I use XGWorks. It is the only program that can do this and all changes are saved as Sysex strings. Of course, it is possible to edit other channels, but XGWorks is a little unwieldy for editing notes.

Thanks very much for your thoughts. I have looking for this information for a while.

I have downloaded and in the process of setting up cakewalk with instrument definition files.
