All MIDI attachments must be one of the following:
- Your own, original work submitted under some license that permits free private use (I recommend public domain or Creative Commons).
- Adapted from works created prior to 1923. This goes for both the composition and arrangement. This means you cannot post MIDI versions of recent songs.
I've 6 months of piano lessons and do not yet sight read. Computer literate yet have not used midi outside of playing with a Linux box for kicks. I believe that I should be able to edit a song on my to do list, The Last Time I Saw Richard, by Joni Mitchell. I am new to Synthesia, a Christmas present from my wife of 37 years, I am self taught at guitar for many years now, she enjoys my playing. It is my expectation that Synthesia is to be used to learn songs, and to accompany my piano lessons, (which sadly, I've had to stop recently) I know my major scales, inversions and can play simple slow songs, beautiful songs. To look at the single file that this song is displaying, the din of noise involved in the single track, I don't know if I should or can used Synthesia, or should try to figure out some other method of getting it down to something I can track. Could someone have a look or listen and give me direction?
If there is a lot going on in the background tracks of a song, you can hide/mute some of them in just a few clicks. This guide shows those steps.
If there are too-many or distracting notes in the piano parts, you can split some of them off or hide them individually by following the steps in this other guide.
Let me know if that helps (and welcome to Synthesia)!

Thank you Nicholas, I had tried those editing methods and found that the "background noise" is just too much. There is no reason for these events, they are not part of the audible sound of the recording, yet they exist on the sole track of the Synthesis scroll. I cannot edit them it seems. When I started my journey of piano, this was the one song (at least the 1 minute intro) that I told myself would be a milestone or benchmark of my learning. I have a beautiful Kawai MP10 digital piano that has the grand piano keyboard and it deserves a good player, which I endeavor to become. I had to give up my lessons due to unemployment, hence the switch to Synthesis. What a wonderful world the piano experience has opened up for me. I will find a way.
