Hello all. I am still trying to get an idea of how this set up works. Here is my situation:
I just got a new laptop. I want to record with Hollywood strings via Sonar. I will need an external USB audio interface (Because the laptop onboard sound isn't very good). And I need a keyboard controller as well.
My question is about the keyboard controller connection to the external audio interface. Shouldn't the controller hook up directly to the external audio interface?
I ask this because I see many USB keyboard controllers. With my limited knowledge on the subject, I don't see how hooking up a USB keyboard controller to the laptop and a hooking up a USB external audio interface to the laptop would make them interact with each other. I assumed that the keyboard needs to go through the external audio interface.
I was hoping someone could elaborate on this. Thanks in advance!
