Hi guys.
I recently bought an E-Drum kit. The Behringer XD8USB. According to the manual and webpage, it should be an easy-to-do connetion to my computer. As soon as I plug it in, the computer itsef recognizes without any problem, but Audiacity wont show it as my input device.
Any help or ideas on this issue?
Thank you in advance.
Regards to you all.
USB interface to connect with any virtual instrument and drum software (not included)
The USB port on those drums is [u]MIDI[/u] (not digital audio) and Audacity is NOT a MIDI application.
You can record the analog audio outputs if you have a desktop/tower computer with a regular soundcard, or you can get a USB audio interface (or USB mixer) with line inputs.
With MIDI software (or a DAW) and virtual instruments you can capture/record the MIDI messages. You can play the virtual instrument in real time* (which will usually sound different from the sounds built-into the drum sounds) and/or you can change to different drums/cymbals and/or edit the timing of the individual drum hits after recording. …MIDI gives you more flexibility and editing power but of course it’s more complex.

- There is always some latency (delay) through the computer and sometimes the latency can be long-enough that it fouls-up the performance.
