Omar,
Charles brings up a very good point. I see a couple problems here...
1. Recording MIDI does quantize, but if it's not absolutely perfect, then you
might as well just record it as audio, as you'll get a much more natural sound
with all the nuances. Easy enough to lay down a drum track with it. In fact,
you should really consider laying down the drum track first, to the metronome
click so you don't have to mess with that later.
Other point about picking up the keyboard sounds. Have the pianist play and
sing along with a vocal track, but consider it just to be a scrap track. Then
later have them sing again on a new track while listening to the piano and not
actually playing. Takes out all the mechanical noise.
Dave

One thing that you must watch out for is the noice coming from the keyboard
itself as it is played. There are some keyboards that can be very noicy and
you may not want that being picked up by the mic.

I would think so, given what you said about his playing, etc.
Hope it's a great session for you.

Well, i figured i'd want quantization because i'll be laying the drum
tracks and other instruments for him, and i usually like to quantize my drums
especially. Like you said, though, he is a decent player, so he shouldn't have
a problem following the click fairly accurately.
