    abacab, thank you. I took into attention. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My conclusions. 1. The 5-pin MIDI DIN interface of MIDI keyboard controller is outdated. 1.1. I will not buy MIDI keyboard controller which has 5-pin MIDI DIN interface. 2. USB interface of MIDI keyboard controller is actual. 2.1. I will buy MIDI keyboard controller which has USB interface. 2.2. I will connect MIDI keyboard controller via USB interface to USB port of computer. 3. When I press key on MIDI keyboard controller it sends MIDI instruction to computer. 3.1. MIDI instruction is data. 3.2. The amount of date from MIDI keyboard controller to computer is less then USB 2.0 bandwidth. 3.3. If I will connect MIDI keyboard controller which has USB 2.0 interface to USB 2.0 port of computer, there will not be bottle neck of data transfer. 3.4. The bandwidth of USB 3.0 and next is higher then USB 2.0 bandwidth. 3.5. USB 2.0 bandwidth already implements my need of data transfer. 3.6. I don't need MIDI keyboard controller with USB 3.0 interface and higher. 3.7. I will buy MIDI keyboard controller which has USB 2.0 interface. 4. The 5-pin MIDI DIN port on some audio interfaces intends to connect legacy MIDI devices through audio interface to computer. 4.1. I will not buy audio interface which has 5-pin MIDI DIN port. 4.2. I will buy audio interface which has no 5-pin MIDI DIN port. abacab, am I right with conclusions?

    Thank you, everybody. I took into attention. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John, thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will, thank you. I will use Windows 10 Home 64-bit. I haven't built computer for Cakewalk yet. I will build it after I will research which VSTs and hardware I need to fulfill my artistic goals, what are system requirements of VSTs which I need. Firstly artistic goals. Next step - VSTs for them. Next step - hardware for VSTs. Latency is important question. I research information about latency. I read, ask questions on forum, read. Thanks to everybody for answers.

    InstrEd, thank you. I have read about Casio PX-5S. Nice thing. I took into attention. abacab, thank you. I took into consideration. abacab, if MIDI keyboard controller has USB interface I can connect it to USB port on the computer. Does any audio interfaces have USB port to connect MIDI keyboard controller via USB to audio interface? Or such audio interfaces don't exist?

    I want to record piano music. I will use VST piano, MIDI keyboard controller, studio monitors, audio Interface. How to reduce latency? I have read that if interface has ASIO 2.0 I am able to set minimum buffer value to 64 or 128 bits. This is, respectively, 1.5 and 3 ms latency. Am I right? What is your actual latency performance and buffer settings using an audio interface?

    abacab, thank you. I took into attention. Thank you. OK. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have read your answer. Thank you. I took into consideration. I want such interface. I want to learn about it. Also I want such interface would have switcher: direct monitoring on/off. I have read: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000706625-How-to-use-the-Direct-Monitor-feature-on-the-Scarlett-Solo-2i2-and-iTrack-Solo How to use the Direct Monitor feature on the Scarlett Solo, 2i2 and iTrack Solo. This is the example of interface which have direct monitoring and switcher: direct monitoring on/off. Am I right? abacab, thank you. I took into consideration. I have read that if interface has ASIO 2.0 I am able to set minimum buffer value to 64 or 128 bits. This is, respectively, 1.5 and 3 ms latency. Am I right? Does this part of discussion suitable to start new topic about latency? If yes I will start new topic about latency. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- abacab, which CPU to use for work in Cakewalk: Intel Core or AMD Ryzen?
  7. Konskoo
    abacab, thank you. I took into attention. Thank you, abacab. I will research link you gave. abacab, if I will use audio interface with USB 2.0 will I have latency?

    Steev, thank you. I took into attention. Steev, you make nice music. I listened with pleasure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John, thank you. Understood. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question to everybody. I have read about audio interfaces. I will connect audio interface to computer. Specifically I will connect audio interface to motherboard of computer. I think about port. Do I need to use USB port? Or do I need to use Thunderbolt port? Or do I need to use FireWire port? Or do I need to use some other port? I need to have corresponding port on computer, specifically on motherboard. Or I need to have corresponding port on expansion card, and expansion card will be connected to motherboard inside computer.

    abacab, thank you. I took your words into consideration. I have read. Many information. I made conclusions. I need to research system requirements of every plug-in I will use. Before it I need to analyze which plug-ins I need to record piano in a box and to make mastering. Am I right? Also I want to analyze how listeners will listen my music? In my opinion many of them will listen my music using smartphone and headphones. Because of it I want to analyze which unprofessional headphones for common everyday usage are popular? I want to make list of popular headphones. Next during mastering I will use professional studio monitors, professional studio headphones and also I will check my music in different popular unprofessional headphones. Also I want to analyze on which streaming services listeners listen classical piano music and will listen my piano music? In my opinion it is Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, Deezer, YouTube Music, IDAGIO. IDAGIO is a paid streaming service specializing in classical music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDAGIO Also I need to analyze mastering requirements of this streaming services. What dynamics reserve I need to make for exact streaming service? How many dB should I lower before loading on exact streaming service? What exact streaming services do with dynamic range? Also I need to analyze requirements of this streaming services to files. 16 bit, 44.1 kHz, stereo? All streaming services have such requirements? Or there are any nuances on exact streaming service? Also I need to analyze which limiter and which spectrum analyzer should I put on the master track? Also I need to analyze should I use 24 bit, 192 kHz, stereo during recording and mastering? And because of it I need to analyze how I will do dithering. Are there any nuances? Also I need to analyze RMS. Are there any nuances on exact streaming service? Also I need to analyze LUFS. Are there any nuances on exact streaming service?

    Gswitz, thank you for your opinion. abacab, yes, I want to build desktop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have read. Many information. I made conclusion. I want to publish my music on musical sites. I need to fit their requirements to files. I need to make mastering according their requirements to files. I need to know technical details how to work with files during mastering. I need to know steps of mastering. I need to know equalization, compression. I need to know what hardware and software to use for mastering. Hardware for mastering: computer, audio interface, studio monitors, studio headphones, cables. Do I need physical devices: equalizer, limiter, compressor? Or VST plugins replace them? Also I need MIDI keyboard controller to make music. Software for mastering: Cakewalk, VST plugins. Also I need VSTi piano to make music. I need device or VST plugins to analyze frequencies. Am I thinking right way?

    I want to make mastering of piano music. These will be piano pieces. Each will last from two to three minutes. I will combine these pieces into the album. The album will have from eight to ten pieces. The finished recording will have only a piano - one instrument. After mastering I will upload the finished recordings to different music sites - this will be the only way to distribute these recordings. There will no be physical media - CD, DVD - in distribution. Next I will make new piano pieces. I will make budget from tasks solving. First - what I need to solve the task? Next - how much money I need for it. I want to build a computer for Cakewalk. I will use Windows 10 Home 64-bit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I discussed "How much SSDs to use on computer for Cakewalk?" here: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/19334-how-much-ssds-to-use-on-computer-for-cakewalk/ Thanks to everyone who gave their opinions. I took into consideration. My main conclusion: I will use two SSD. First SSD. Disk C on it. On disk C - Windows 10 Home 64-bit, applications including Cakewalk. Second SDD. Disk D on it. On disk D - current project work files. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next I discussed "Overclocked RAM or not for Cakewalk?" here https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/19444-overclocked-ram-or-not-for-cakewalk/ Thanks to everyone who gave their opinions. I took into attention. My main conclusion: I will not use overclocked RAM. I will use traditional RAM: for example Crucial CT 3200 MHz, Kingston KVR 3200 MHz. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At that topic abacab have wrote: At that topic I have wrote that I want to make mastering of piano music. Next I asked: abacab asked me clarifying question: I can describe how I want to do. I will do it in this topic. I agree with abacab: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, I want to make experiment: what way will be suitable for my musical art tasks? Some piano pieces will be in Rondo musical form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondo Some in Binary musical form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_form Some in Ternary form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_form Some pieces will be Fantasia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_(music) Some will be Scherzo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherzo Some pieces will be Waltz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waltz_(music) Some will be Polka. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polka Some will be Romance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_(music) Every pieces will last from two to three minutes. What is the best technical way for me to express my musical ideas? I want to fit technical requirements of musical sites on which I will distribute my music. For experiment I will use all variants you listed. I will use scheme: first variant - few compositions, second variant - another few compositions, third variant - another few compositions. Next I will analyze result and will make conclusion which way is suitable for me. Do I understand right way: Virtual Instrument piano in the box - it is VSTi? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Studio_Technology

    Thank you, abacab. I took into attention. abacab, I can describe how I want to do. Do I need to create new topic to describe it? Because this topic is about RAM. How do you think?

    James, abacab thank you. I took into attention. abacab, I took into consideration that Jim Roseberry builds custom DAWs for musicians that are well regarded. Thank you for information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ abacab, James what I plan to do with the DAW? I want to make mastering of piano music. These will be piano pieces. Each will last from two to three minutes. I will combine these pieces into the album. The album will have from eight to ten pieces. The finished recording will have only a piano - one instrument. After mastering I will upload the finished recordings to different music sites - this will be the only way to distribute these recordings. There will no be physical media - CD, DVD - in distribution. Next I will make new piano pieces. I will make budget from tasks solving. First - what I need to solve the task? Next - how much money I need for it. In this case what CPU clock speed suitable for Cakewalk? What core count suitable for Cakewalk?
