Need help with equipment, pls advise!

[skylark820]

I'm new at all of this, and would appreciated some help/advice as I'm utterly confused.

The following are the equipments I have:

- Yamaha Keyboard - PSR-E323 to be exact, with 1 MIDI In and 1 MIDI Out port.
- Yamaha UX16, which is supposed to directly connect the keyboard to my computer.
- Shure microphone
- A MIDI-microphone cable
- Yamaha steinberg CI1 audio interface
- Both Cakewalk and Cubase 5

What I want to do is play my piano as one track, and record my voice via the mic as another, and put the two together to make a song.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Don't forget that mastering is important

Plug the UX16 and CI1 into USB ports on your PC and install the latest drivers for both. Connect the MIDI OUT of the keyboard into a MIDI IN on the UX16. Plug your mic into a mic input on the CI1. Fire up Cubase and enable the USB devices in your settings. Consult the manuals for the various hardware and software for operating instructions.
