hey claudiu
no offense, but you should try harder to figure out the mechanism by your self in order to achieve a (good) result working with the keyboard and computer.
please check the www.tweakheadz.com site for instance, a very detailed guide for using midi and audio.
they are all different principles.
to record from any audio source (keyboard's line out, cd players, mic, etc) into the computer, you don t need a midi cable, but a simple two stereo jack cable.

try it...

yeah - i just followed directions and it doesn't work so...my point is...why is Sound Forge recording only by microphone ?

When you connect the keyboard to the computer using audio cables, before you record, do you hear the keyboard through your computer?


Also, make sure that your computer is set to record using your sound card’s line in.

You can check this by going to start, programs, accessories, entertainment, volume control.
When in volume control, go to properties. Select your sound card and go to “adjust volume for recording”. Make sure that the box for line in is checked.

yeah before i tr to record i play a few notes and i can hear em through my computer's speakers..i think it's just sound forge that's not working...you can only record stuff with soundforge using a microphone

Cladiu,

I'm not that familiar with Sound Forge, but I know for certain that you can record direct with it and not have to use a microphone. As the previous poster suggested, go to the Windows volume control, make sure that the mute button in the "line in" box in is not checked ON and that the volume slider is not down to the bottom all of the way.

You also need to go into the drop down options menu in the windows volume controller, select options, then "adjust volume for recording " and make sure that the record option is checked in the "line in" box and that the volume slider isn't all the way down ( assuming hopefully your using a line in port and not a mic in port from your kb into your sound card ).

The other possible problem I can see... Sonar would not work properly with my internal soundcard at all... until I added the freeware ASIO4all generic ASIO driver to my system. Even if this isn't the problem, if you are going to be using your internal soundcard ( I don't really recommend it ), you might want to add ASIO4All just to reduce latency and have a better set of drivers for your card.

' LINE IN ' is selected - nothing is mutted - all those sliders are way up -

i dont have a " adjust volume for recording " thing.
