ah... you need a multi-track recorder(MTR) software that can record audio. Something like
Cakewalk's Home Studio or
Sony Vegas.
Too expensive? No worries! There's always alternative, how about
n-Track Studio, costing only US$49!!!
What you got to do is to playback each MIDI channel that triggers each instrument sound from your keyboard and record that onto a track in the multi-tracker software. Say channel 1 is your Bass, so you mute all other channel, select your best bass sound from your keyboard/module. Enable Record on the MTR and start your sequencer playback. Usually, there is some sort of synchronisation that you can enable so that the MTR can auto-play the sequencer. This sound will be recorded onto track 1 of the MTR.
You repeat with channel 2, maybe your piano sound. This sound is recorded on track 2.
Followed by all the other instruments.
Now, come to the exciting part! You see, in MIDI, we usually use just channel 10 to play all the drums sound. But if you want to do mixing like the pro, you got to split the individual drum onto seperate tracks. Depending on which sequencer software you are using, you should be able to 'filter' out all the Bass drum and put them on one track, snare on another and tom1, tom2, tom3 ... then you repeat the above procedure to record them onto the MTR.
wow, must be quite tired by now. If you music is 4 mins and you got like 10 instruments + 10 drums tracks. You would have to do this "tracking" 4mins x 20 = 80mins.
This is assuming that you are recording 1 track at a time because your soundcard has only 1 input.
If you get those soundcard with 8 inputs. You could record 8 tracks at one go! Saving you some time.
Saying so, actually you dont need a soundcard with 8 inputs! We all have those extra 80mins to spare. :lol:
When would you need a soundcard with 8 inputs?
When you need to record a live drummer playing. You can't expect him to just do the kick only for the whole song then the snare for the whole song and the hi-hat for the whole song .... know what i mean :wink:
Now, the purpose of the intended mixer could be for monitoring so that you can listen to your 2 keys +1 module at the same time.
Hmmm... only 1 midi cable? That means only 16 channels of midi. Since you have 3 sound source, maybe you should get a midi box so that you can control all your midi instrument. If 3 out means 16 channels x 3 = 48 channels.
Example of MIDI box.
:?: What keyboard and sound module are you using?
