Sorry another Synth recording Q :)

[Wannabe-DJ]

Hi guys, this is my first time posting on these boards, so forgive me for not knowing much. I tried to find the newbie forum but couldnt. Anyway, I just recently bought the new Roland V-Synth and thought it would be easy to just play something and record it on my computer. How wrong I was!! First of all I just bought Acid 3.0 to sequence everything, I know i need a new sound card so thats not a problem. Basically I need to know how I can get something i play on the V-synth, onto Acid so I can mix in a drum loop/ effects, etc. Is it as simple as just getting a new sound card, and plugging my V-synth into it and recording? Then is it really hard to then get it onto a CD from Acid? I do have a cd burner but read a post that says I need Roland CD-RW. I am so grateful for this site and hope this isnt getting old


I really appreciate all the help and promise to read as much info as I can before posting another newbie question Its just i spent $2200 on this new Synth, and now I dont know how to record with it. BTW the V-synth is awesome would recommend it to anyone!
