Hi all: great forum btw.
But I have some questions about starting a very cheap and simple home recording setup. I have a Yamaha dtx450k electronic drum kit(which DOES send out midi) and I have an iPad,iPhone (both with GarageBand) and a Windows 10 laptop.
I would like to have a simple recording setup and GarageBand seems to be the easiest app to record with. My first question is
1. how do I send midi drums to garageband? By that I mean physically. Do I need a special cable or will the basic charger cable connect the iPad to the USB port in my kit work? But then ima need a drum interface app to trigger the midi.
2. is there any drum interface apps that work with midi (such as ezdrummer) that are also compatible with GB?
If there is a comparable setup for A Windows laptop setup that would be just as well.
I just don't want to drop hundreds of dollars for interface apps and hardware to record song demos.
Thanks!!!
Ps. I'm a newbie so try to dumb it down for me
