Possibly neither one. Audacity doesn’t speak MIDI enough to make a recording and I’m betting your computer doesn’t have a non-microphone audio connection.

I do it with my keyboard headphone connection into a Stereo USB adapter - Behringer UCA-202.

I used a 1/4" plug for the keyboard adapted to dual RCA connections for the UCA-202.

That’s how I did all my sound effects.
