Well you know there is a Thing Called a "manual" that comes with most equipment that should tell you how to use the stuff you just bought??

I personally don"t own a US-144 but from just looking at the product it seems pretty simple to figure out...

The Korg has a midi in and Out which would connect to your US-144 Midi in and out , Seems logical ehh?,

Your mic would connect to the US-144 Via the "Mic" input which also seems pretty logical ehh??

The US-144 would connect to your PC useign the USB out from the US-144 to the USB in on your PC , Logical?? Maybe??

I don"t want to sound condesending but it sounds like you haven"t even tried to Figure this out on your own or have even Opened the manual yet.....

Good luck

i might consider something other than a usb mixer... like a firewire... the usb only sends a 2 track mix to the computer rather than individual tracks... the diff if not obvious to you at the moment will make sense as you improve...

Where the hell does everyone get this notion from?.....It will give you (2)...count em'....TWO seperate mono individual tracks at the same time.

Actually Most of the newer better quality USB 2.0 Interfaces can send a seperate track for each input on the interface, but most of the cheaper ones out there still use USB 1.1 and are just sending the stereo mix to your PC....

how incredibly average of you.... you've discovered all by yourself that if you only input two devices and pan them opposite hard it will be mono tracks...

no panning involved dummy,in his case,there are four mono inputs,not 1 or 2 stereo inputs...and thanks for the negative rep!...right back at ya asshole!

I owned a 1.1 usb device back in the day for my laptop and it did 2 mono tracks.

the point is that two tracks is still a big limitation for alot of us... and as discussed here many times (without totaly resolving) usb particularly usb1 has other problems so recommendation of firewire would make sense for most of us...
