Hi. I have the Yamaha YPG-535 keyboard and I need recommendations on a free DAW that will work for it. Does Cakewalk work well with this keyboard?
So far I did install the Yamaha MIDI driver - USB-MIDI Driver V3.1.5 for Windows.
I would like to record various musical phrases to the computer, so I can see the notes/chords I created. Then arrange them on a timeline to playback as a song, once they are combined etc.
I am not a proficient keyboard player, I am a life-time guitar player though.
I figure if I can put together a number of chords and sequences, that I would teach myself to play them back as a song once the composition is mainly built on the DAW timeline...
So, yeah wondering about a DAW or anything else you think I might need.
Finally, it would be cool to export my final songs into a sheet music format for PDFs and printing etc.
Thanks, Mark
