songs to MP3 etc.
by: Dick Rector

Hello Meredith,

Yes is the answer and it is not difficult, I gave the same today to another forum-member.
Just in case you can't find this answer:

Download for free 'AUDACITY' and install it on your computer. The onscreen help is easy to understand.
Make a connection between your keyboards HEADPHONE OUT (or LINE OUT if you have it) to the computers soundcart LINE IN. Usually you need for this a cable with a big jackplug and a small jackplug.
Start and keep the default settings in AUDACITY and press RECORD, you will see two channels (stereo) ready to receive signal.
Start playback your song or play live on your keyboard.
Keep the volume so that the signal stays more or less between the lines in AUDACITY or the sound will be overpowered and distorted!
When finished you can save your song as an MP3 file or any other available format and burn it to a CD or whatever you want to do with it.

Will you please give some feedback if this works for you. Others may benefit from it.

Good luck and regards

Audacity
by: Dick Rector

Hi Meredith,

Mmmm... No to be honest, never heard this before and I have been using the same program for quite some time without problems.
I am using Windows XP on my compu but are you using Vista on yours? It is VERY UNFRIENDLY for music-related-programs. And if you do, close as many other programs as you can while recording. The problem with missing bits can be overloading your computers CPU. Music recording is a very intensive process.
Just give it a try again.

I hope someone else on this forum knows a better answer.
Let us know please if/when you find the solution.

Regards
Dick
