Rockitman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have a Roland RD700SX and have hooked it to my Windows XP pc via USB cable and have installed the drivers. What else do I need to be able to record and create MP3 files of my piano playing? I have Audacity but it doesn't recognize the Roland anywhere. Is USB the way to go?

johnchop Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You would need to record the AUDIO from your Roland into your soundcard or a dedicated audio interface. The USB is only for transferring files and for MIDI. BTW, I think your dog needs a vet... stat. -John I make software noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. B. Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Read the instructions, pretty easy, they will tell you everything you need to know. They will tell far more than anyone on this forum believe me. You may have to read them several times, but follow them carefully, that is why they are there. I am really sorry if you are the sort who just doing things and plugging in wires with out reading anything at all, instructions are there for a reason. There is also the "Read Me" file with the driver and with how to record to pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make an assumption that may not be true, Jyme B. One post from the OP and you're blasting him for not reading the manual. We try to be helpful, not condescending here. Perhaps you should consider editing your post.

You may need to tell Audacity which input source to use (wish I could be more specific but I'm not on Windows anymore). Then you're off to the races! Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
