Digital Recording

[StellarFury]

Okay, so I want to record stuff on piano for submission. What's the best (cheapest) way to do it? Get a hold of a laptop and a microphone, and use sndrec? Or are there easier ways to get it done? I'm on a college campus, so the pianos I'm playing on are in the basement of a building about 5 minutes (walking) from my dorm room.

You should check with your college.  A lot of schools have recording hardware for student use.  That and all the video/audio editing you should ever need.

Wow, I'm dumb.

Good idea. I'll check around with the music staff. I'm set in terms of editing though. I've got this sweet little program called "GoldWave" - it caters to every editing issue I've ever come across (which means cuts and fades).

...

*Shameless plug* You can get a free trial of it at www.goldwave.com. And when I say "free trial" I don't mean "30 days" or whatever. They have a little counter, so you can take 150 actions in a single session and 3000 actions until you need to buy a license. I've never gotten to the 150 point, let alone the 3000 point. If you do a lot of editing, you could buy a license, it's $45... I would buy one, but, I'm a poor college student.
