hello i'm new to mixing and i'm trying to do a remix on my keyboard (a PSR-3000). My question is, how do i get my finished song from my keyboard to my computer without turning it into a dinky midi? Maybe this is a dumb question but i'd really appreciate if someone would enlighten me.

We'll need more info.
What program are you using? How are you connected to your computer?

He's not using any program.
Tragic Hero: You'll want to find a 1/4" audio cable and an adapter for the 1/8" line-in jack on the back of your computer, or a cord that goes from a 1/4" to 1/8" jack, but the 1/4" to 1/4" is much more common [and cheaper]. You'll also need a means to record. Audacity is freeware:

I think Usa used a PSR-3000, but he upgraded recently to this Tyros 2 thing:

Hi ,
Actually youre gonna need two things, assuming your keyboard is stereo and you want to maintain stereo to your final product. 2 female rca to male 1/4 inch adapters (2.50 each at radio shack) next youre going to need an rca y cable to a 1.8th inch (headphopne jack) this will plug into your line in on your computer. (pink jack i think)
Hope this helps !

Your keyboard has 2 audio outputs. Plug them in the audio inputs of your computer.
Also, "HELP!" is a crappy title for a topic - you seriously get better and more information if you would've said "PSR-3000 songs to computer?" or something like it :).

Nope.
If there's a headphone jack, you only need one cord. But the headphone port is amped, so make sure the volume is down-ish so you don't blow anything up [shouldn't really be a problem].

Actually, that's pretty cool
yes, get that instead, you'll need only that one cord.

Hosa has EVERYTHING :) They're not the best quality, but they're not bad either.
