Would this perhaps help improve the sound quality when recording a baby grand piano?

Well, yes. Especially if the mic and reflection filter are placed inside the lid of the piano it will tighten up the sound considerably.

Not totally sure but I think this is more like the original 4-track machines where you get what you record and that's that. If you were so inclined you could always export the takes individually and comp them in a DAW later to add better effects. The most apparent one on here would be the reverb (which isn't too bad).

I was digitizing low quality cassette tape to MacBook files. It worked well for that. I don't know how it'll work for high quality sound. Sorry. My gut feeling is it would do fine but.....

Yes to both questions. However, the sound quality isn't the best for music.

I couldn't tell, as I only bought it to tune an old piano that I bought, It was fine for that. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Geoff

That is how I use it. You can opt to create a higher quality mp3 when you record if you need better quality. I like that flexibility.

Yes. I've used it tune a couple of pianos, my violin, and my guitar. It works great. But don't forget to push the buttons and make sure it is calibrated to 440 Hz (I made that mistake). I also bought the microphone. I think it helps to screen out background noise.

I suppose it could, but I think a regular microphone would serve better. This device could easily over modulate the recorders circuit, making a horrible recording. It does not enhance the available sound more than any properly adjusted microphone. You would need something more on the order of a parabolic or directional mic for that.

No. I do not think this would help. I used this sound card in that capacity. I later abandoned it and went back to the on board sound card. I could not tell a difference. You are better off spending money on the cartridge and stylus in the turntable.

Yes use overdub and equalizer to tone your voice do sound check first then record=good product

Yes and the sound quality can be amazing if you tweak the settings for your recorder. I learned to shut off the Low Cut Filter (which was killing the bass but helped voice recording) and set the Record Mode to PCM for CD quality. I am very happy with the music recording and the playback sounds great with the included stereo earbuds.

It took me a while to figure this out, but the device has a standard mode and 3 different equalization modes. Since most modern devices don't have bass and treble controls, it can indeed improve the sound quality, as it does sound different in each mode. But always remember the basic rule of digital devices. garbage in-garbage out! So if your source recording, and/or your device sucks, than your sound will as well, no matter what you try.

if used correctly, Yes. A compressor is useful like you described and this one is a great tool with plenty of great features. If you are not setting up the compressor during sound check or with the same set up it could produce more problems with sound/noise ratio. If your sound guy cant do things right it will just be another thing to get wrong.

sound quality leaves something to be desired if looking for a full and rich output from your recordings; i have connected separate speakers that gives a me the quality i desire (i had the speakers that had been connected to an old desktop pc!).

I'm echoing exactly what S. Martinez said earlier. There's nothing wrong with getting some extra enjoyment out of your music. You'll experience extra detail with your music that you may have otherwise missed using sub par headphones/ear-buds...so much so that you may find yourself finding better quality recordings when you realize some of the files in your library sound utterly terrible! (Seriously true! LOL)Consider it a real good investment as it'll last you for quite a long time.

I think so, but if you are making copies of classical music, or something that requires exceptional sound quality, you may not like the results. I made copies of tapes to enter into my ipod and the sound quality if okay

It would probably help as would any headphones but noise cancelling works best with a steady noise/frequency such as an airplane engine and not different notes of a piano.
