Hello Fred, mgj, Clyde,

Thank you all for your suggestions. Sorry if I wasn't too specific at the beginning about what I'm trying to do. I was hoping to take my MidiNotate Composer .mid files (which were recorded live from my digital piano and then renamed from .not to .mid) and ultimately convert them to .mp3 or .wav and burn my performances to be playable on CD or MP3 players.

It looks like my best option is to use Audacity to capture the piano sound of my recorded MidiNotate performances going thru my sound card. It doesn't look like MP3 Maker will do that for me... maybe I was using the wrong product for what I’m trying to do.

Since I'd like my music to sound like a real grand piano instead of the typical "midi piano sound" is there a product which will "override" the music effects on my sound card (or wherever they come from) and provide an authentic "Carnegie Hall" piano sound? And would it be compatible with Audacity?

I'm amazed at the amount of helpful knowledge on this forum! Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dale
