simple setup but not? Click Here to Report this message to the Moderator Posted by crazy (from: 216.229.7.30) on October 28, 2003 at 21:27:52: First of all, I appologise if this question is ridiculously stupid. I am trying to set up my computer to record from an analog source (Roland XV-88 keyboard). Now, what is the best way to do this? Should I connect from my headphone jack to my line in on my sound card? Or, should I run the cables from my balanced output into my line in? It seems that when I use either, I get sound, but it seems like my keyboard is overpowering my sound card. But, if i turn down my source (volume on my keyboard) it makes the recording so quiet that the sound is almost inaudible. Now, I have set my keyboard up where it was pretty satisfactory, but I just want to get it straight. This should be fairly simple, but I want to know the best way to connect it to my pc for recording. I was considering buying a soundcard designed for recording that can take balanced inputs would that solve my problems? I was assuming simply connecting my headphone out to line in was the way to go, but I am overpowering my soundcard it seems (tested with more than one) so is it because it is preamping it twice or what? I appologize i'm not very knowledgable about this. Thanks for any responces. Follow Ups: Re: simple setup but not?
