Midi chord or recording device?

[elconquistador]

So due to extenuating circumsitances I need to return to piano as a ful time hobby. Music cures the soul and mine needs some soothing. I would love to share my pieces online but I'm conflicted as to whether I should get a midi chord or recording device in the future? I have a yamaha YPG.

What about an well tuned acoustic piano and some audio recording gear? Thats cooler ..I mean more professional than any midi recording things

Good point. I should probably look at recording at the college.

It all depends on the recording equipment and the person running the equipment. Midi is used by pros all the time. Professional at midi trumps slacker at audio. What is way cool about midi is you can save a small file to a drive , and that file can be edited in any midi capable sound source. I say to the op - plug the midi cable in and learn about it. It can be very valuable.

MIDI is extremely useful.  The files are tiny and I email them to choir members etc frequently.

But if you want to share music, put a video on youtube. That's really the best way.
