Easy Question I Think...

[arkolt2000]

Hi all,

Could you all help me with what i'm sure is a very easy question?? which if i had half a brain i could work out myself!

I have a small home studio set up with:

Cubase on PC
Breakout Box for soundcard
Controller keyboard
Sound module (Roland jv1080)
Mixer
Amplifier

Currently its set up so that:

- Midi Out on controller keyboard to Midi In on Breakout Box
- Midi Out on Breakout Box to Midi In on Sound Module
- Output on Sound Module to Mixer
- Audio out on Breakout Box to Mixer
- Main output on Mixer to Amplifier

If i want to record a Midi track to an Audio track in Cubase, am i right in saying that i have to simply connect the output from the Sound Module to one of the Breakout Box's Audio inputs??

I think that's probably right - sorry such a stupid question!

But also....

Is there anyway that i can have it permanantly set up so that i can record Midi to Audio from my sound module without having to change the wiring??

Would this involve using the Sound Module's throughput jack's??

Thanks in advance for any replies.

If you've got nothing else going into the mixer, you probably don't need it at all. But to answer your question, yes, simply plug the Audio out from the sound module into the Audio In on the break-out box.

If you need the mixer, you might consider using the Tape In and Tape Out to connect it with your sound card. Of course, this depends on your setup and specific brands you're using. Read the owner's manual, most have drawings for common connection setups.

have fun.... oh and welcome to the site.
