How do I record from Yamaha PSR E413 Keyboard

Post by Tony Fendall » Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:45 pm

My keyboard is connected to my PC and I can run Audacity, but I can only record through my mic.
I can't see my keyboard in the input device drop down.
What do I do to record direct from the invisible keyboard?
Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Tony

How are you connecting the keyboard to the computer?

Audacity does not support recording from MIDI devices.
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).

I discovered that a USB connection does not work, so went out and bought a cable for the 'phones' socket and plugged into the sound card.
Everything works well now.
Thanks for your input.

Tony :)
