Are piano soundfonts free and legally downloadable?

Yea, if you find the free and legally downloadable ones.....heh. There's plenty out there. I have a bunch, though the samples that come with Reason are frikkin awesome so I don't use the soundfonts I downloaded. Just search around on google and stuff. "Free piano soundfonts" should do the trick.

if you wanna spend some money, you can still use that paino of yours. in my mind, acoustic will awlays sound better than digital, which is why my band almost awlays records on reels, unless we're just demoing a song in my basement. i dont know what software you're using, but if it has an audio track you can put in, you can record it for like 20-300 bucks. behringer makes a great 2 channel mixer, but any small mixer will do as long as it had phantom power, because recording a paino is best with a condensor mic. speaking of that, you also need to go buy a quality condensor mic. you can either go low end, and grab a behringer for like 80 bucks, oras high as you want. i personally like the AKG, cant really remember the model name right now. other than that, try not to EQ, but if you have to, awlays use subtractive EQ,, never addative. Also, if you need a synth sound from your acoustic paino, you can use either digital effects or outboard gear

And THEN we'll bring up the fact that I'm 13 and jobless.
