Fickett Towleny Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Okay, here it goes. I had finished recording the Goldeneye RA remix. I quickly hit the mixdown button, and then after it had "done it's thing" I prepaired to listen to it. I was shocked. No sound. At all. I read the manuals through and through for the Yamaha S90's mixing/recording software manual (the recording software that comes with the package), and learned, much to my despair, that I had not actually recorded it when I "recorded" it, but rather just set a group of parameters, info, ect. that my Yamaha S90 could play from. So the question is. How do I get it to actually record the notes/sound I play from my S90? Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylance Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 So what exactly are you using to record here? As far as I know, the Yamaha S90 has no internal sequencer. Are you using a program like FL Studio, Sonar / Cubase, or Noteworthy Composer for your mix? The problem may lie with your audio setting not being set correctly.

suzumebachi Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 not trying to be an ass here, but in order to record the sound from your keyboard, you probably have to connect it to your soundcard. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fickett Towleny Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 How would I go about doing this. I'm sorry, terrribly technilogically inept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 There's two outputs on your S90 called "LINE OUT L/R" or something like that. There's a stereo input on your soundcard called the "line in". Nowadays they have a cute blue ring around where you plug the cable in. You buy one of these: ... and you get 2 of these: (click for bigger) The big ones go in the back of the S90 at L and R. The small one on the other end goes in the "line in" of your soundcard. I hope this clears up the situation . MIDI is simply not audio. First and most important lesson to learn .

Fickett Towleny Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Alright, three more questions... A.) Where can I get those cables in Colorado? B.) How much are they? C.) What port would they be on my Sony VIAO Laptop (It has a yellow circle thingy not a blue one?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylance Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Alright, three more questions...A.) Where can I get those cables in Colorado? B.) How much are they? C.) What port would they be on my Sony VIAO Laptop (It has a yellow circle thingy not a blue one?) A.) Online, or Radio Shack if you have em. B.) Depending on the length and brand, around $15 - $20. C.) It should say "Mic" or "Line in". If not, it's the mini-plug port that you don't plug your headphones in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 (It has a yellow circle thingy not a blue one?) If it says "S/PDIF" in the manual, don't try anything funny with it. That's a digital output. It could also be an extra video output (composite). Take some pictures of your laptop's sides, upload 'm, and we'll be able to tell you what to plug where.

Fickett Towleny Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 AH! I have the little Mic jack thingy. It's the same kind of port as the headphones, but it has a red ring around it and a Microphone symbol next to it. More good news! There is a Radio Shack right in Conifer just 5 or so minutes from our house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylance Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Just to note, the first cable is called a stereo mini-plug to RCA, and the adapter - remember you need two - is called a RCA to quarter inch plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 AH! I have the little Mic jack thingy. The difference between a regular line in and a mic in is that the mic in is amplified. Hooking up a regular line-level signal to it makes it sound like ass and poo, and most likely distorted. Those small microphones on webcams or sold separately aren't powered, that's why the signal should be amplified. You don't want that with your S90, so you're going to need the line in which is blue.
