Today I'm going to show you how you can record live piano simply through GarageBand. Most teachers would just think to record piano through their phone's voice memo recorder, but trust me, getting comfortable with GarageBand is a great way to make your piano lessons fun. I have GB2, I went out and bought a digital piano (Yamaha P-140) for recording, I have the MIDI2USB adapter, a G4 titanium, running 10.3.4 or 5 (I am at work so I don't have all the specs). Using a real instrument track - I can input and record a keyboard without a problem, but I am not able to record a DPiano. I have a Korg Trinity piano keyboard I wanted to connect to the mac for Garage band. The main outputs are red and white RCA audio cables. I was thinking of buying a an RCA to USB adapter. My two questions are; 1. Or do I need to use a different connection method? And is there a better way?

2. Also - how do I know whether my devices are compatible in the first place? and whether the mac will accept / recognise the Korg device within garage band?

If you are using a MIDI-only interface (and no Audio interface), you can only use your piano as a controller to record software instruments.
If you notice low-input, you could check the settings in the track info window (select 'get info' or Command-I) of the selected track (e.g. move the input slider to the right).
Note: GB can only recieve MIDI and cannot send MIDI data back to your piano to trigger its internal sounds (so to record the internal sounds of the P140, you need to record them as real instrument audio tracks)
