Sorry I double posted this, but may have had it under the wrong section (recording techniques) since no one was responding. Can I remove it from there??
Anyway.
I am really unfamiliar with MIDI (have NEVER done any thing with it.)
I am putting together my first digital studio. I have an RME Multiface that has MIDI I/O on it. I also want to buy a Mackie Control Universal for use with Cubase. From a connection diagram i saw online it showed that I use MIDI I/O from the Controller to a MIDI interface (which I do not have yet either) that connects USB to my computer. OK, well I was also reading in my Multiface manual that the Mackie Controller can also control the Total Mix program for the sound card by connecting to the MIDI on the soundcard. So what the heck, do I connect to both these things some how? Can someone give me a simple diagram how this MIDI stuff hooks up physically? I also have a Roland R-70 drum machine that has MIDI, if you want toss that in the pciture too. IF I need to buy a MIDI interface, how many In and Outs do I need to get all this stuff talking?
Thanking you in advance.
