Hey everyone, let me first say thank you for taking the time to answer this noob. This is my first thread and hopefully will be making more as I begin to learn about home recording.
So what I currently have right now:
1. A macbook pro 2017 with a usb c Hub
2. A Yamaha PSR e363
3. A focusrite Scarlett solo 2nd generation
4. A Samson C01
5. Logic Pro X as my DAW
6. XLR Cable
7. Printer cable (from keyboard to MacBook)
8. An ATH-M40x headphones connected straight to the MacBook Pro
Ok for starting out I just tried to record a simple piano chord progression and vocals on top of it.
What I did was connect the keyboard to the MacBook via the printer cable. I created a new midi instrument track, then set the digital keyboard as input and the built in output as the output. And I pressed R and it recorded just fine.
Then I added new AUDIO track for vocals. The samson microphones are connected to the focusrite via xlr cable. And set the focusrite as the input, and built in output as the output. I could hear my voice through the headphones... BUT Its not recorded on THIS track. Instead I can see my voice being detected in the FIRST track (from the volume bar). AND I can't seem to hear the FIRST track keyboard parts as well... What am I doing wrong here?
An extra question... I tried using a guitar cable (such a noob i forgot what they're called) from the keyboard output straight to the input of Scarlett solo interface, but apparently no sound came (I already flipped the switch to INST instead of mic line). Is this not possible?
Thanks everyone.
