Thanks GT. I decided on the focusrite 2i2 bundle, which starts me off with headphones and a microphone too. Ordered it today from our local music store and it should be in within a week. Also got all the leads to make the connections to my HiFi stereo system.

I got the 2i2 rather than the 6i6 because I play on my own and the chap at the music store told me that if I do buy a midi keyboard it would be connected to my laptop anyway rather than directly to the interface, so I shouldn't run out of inputs.

In the meantime I'll get some more music into BIAB and read more of the manual. Thanks all. I'll let you know how it goes.


Equipment: Yamaha 5'6" grand piano. BIAB for Macintosh 2017 --> 2020. MacBook Pro. Focusrite 2i2, Yamaha YC 88 keyboard
