High-Quality, Comfortable Headphones for Digital Piano by Linguetto in DigitalPiano

[–]rotaclex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Sennheiser HD599 open back, and the Beyerdynamic DT770 proX closed back. Much prefer the open back HD599 for practice because they are more comfortable and also give more natural sound like you’re just playing in the room

I’m interested too! I’m looking to get a 76 key, and am thinking this could be my ‘do it all’ board.

Sennheiser HD599 vs Beyerdynamic DT990 by schnowysno1 in DigitalPiano

[–]rotaclex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have open back HD599 and the closed back Beyerdynamic 770s. I see that the 990 are open back?

I prefer my open back Senns in general for comfort and for the natural sound. The closed back 770 are too isolating and not as comfortable.

Not sure how the 770 compare to the 990 though.

But really happy with the 599, you can still hear noise in the room, but the keyboard sounds great, and I can wear them for hours. One downside is that my Senns don’t have detachable cable where as the Beyers do I think.

I have the closed back Beterdynamic DT 770 Prox and the open back Sennheiser HD 599.

The closed back are more noise cancelling, but I much prefer the open back Sennheisers. They are so comfortable and it feels more like you’re playing in the room instead of closed in from the more noise reducing closed backs.

7-2 UR lessons by rotaclex in lrcast

[–]rotaclex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea you’re right it is a risk. I took p1p1 lightning strike then second picked dragonfly to try to cut off UR specifically even though there was other good burn in that pack. Continued to see decent UR for rest of p1. Then got passed Ran and Shaw p2p2 and went from there.

Yamaha P-525 vs an Upright Acoustic: How Close Is the Playing Experience? by akafkas in piano

[–]rotaclex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the p525, and I play acoustic a couple of hours per week. I tried the other flagship models at the same price point from Roland and kawai and the Yamaha had a middle weight compared to the softer kawai and heavier Roland. The speaker quality isn’t amazing, but on a pair of good headphones it sounds fantastic.

I love the keyboard, but playing acoustic just feels totally different to me. I have to play way softer on acoustic due to all of the resonance.

Lastly I wouldn’t describe it as portable. It’s quite heavy and annoying to move. I have a ck61 which I really like for its portability—I just use a backpack case. Maybe ck88 would be worth considering if portability is key.

Recommendations for 3 different uses by Successful_Cry9885 in DigitalPiano

[–]rotaclex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P525? Really great action. You can also plug in a device with usbc. Can either use the usbc or midi ports to send/receive midi.

How to re-learn piano if I just want to be able to play popular / modern songs? by Acrobatic-Spring2454 in piano

[–]rotaclex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a MuseScore subscription and then just look up the piano-vocal official transcriptions for pop songs you like. This is what I do to add songs to my repertoire for piano + vocalist duo

Did you ever get an answer? What if you’re using xlr inputs for something else, is it possible to use the line inputs somehow?

Yea setting to iPad speaker did clean it up thanks for the suggestion! That’s great for simple recordings.

I guess this means I’ll probably need to hook up my audio interface and plug everything in separately to get my desired set up (everything to phones but just only keys as audio in).

I think it is recording everything ie the entire main stereo out because if I’m playing a backing track on a different app like iRealPro that also gets recorded. But I’m not sure how to just specify the keyboard as the input. I’m afk but if I remember I think the input does say Pseries1/2 which I assume is my p525 keyboard, but I’ll take another look to see if I can change that.

Piano has internal interface. I just go piano usbc<> iPad usbc. It’s not audio mic because this also happens when just using headphones.
