Recording Set-up please help me?

[lumper]

Have My ensoniq hooked up to my soundcard throught midi that did not seem to do anything. I tried to get my keyboard to do anything in all of my programs, and nothing. So now I have hooked up the headphones to the input on the soundcard and I can hear sound now. I have the following software..Sound Forge 4.5, cool edit pro, Reaktor, and Rebirth. I cannot seem to when I hit record im my programs it acts like it is recording...but then I hear nothing. I know not to plug in my synth into the mic and that I should mute my mic....I have done that. If anyone can help me with a little stratagie I can give you the link to the above full version free software.

I don't know much about MIDI, but I'm pretty sure that it's just like any other input in that your sound card has to know that it's receiving input. Your sound card software probably has mixer settings for playback/recording. Make sure it's not muted and make that the levels are up. Second, why do you have your headphones plugged into an input? They should go in the output. Regarding the MIDI, check ControlPanel>Multimedia and see that everything is set up right. Maybe somebody with some MIDI experience can give you more detailed help on the settings.

NOw, what was that about a link

thanks for the info? I think....What I meant was the I have the headphone jack from my keyboard plugged into my input to my sound card. Isn't it as easy as plugging in a device to the input of the sound card and then recording? about the link...Check your e-mail....Later but my problem still remains. I had already done all that was suggested...thanks to anyone.
