thanks for the kind previous replies, but I still can't figure it out when I tried to route the midi output to the audio input. I am using a usb midi interface connects to a keyboard, so looks like there is no physical output that I can use to hook up the audio input. so I do it within the program's interface? such as using the mixer, device set up, vst connection? and on the midi output, its alread set to GM map in order to have the instrument patch, so where do I set the midi output, and how to hook up to the audio input? thanks in advance for your help
Hallo, it seems to me that you are still puzzled about the differences between MIDI and Audio. Is that the case? But regardless of wether or not...you have connected your MIDI-Keyboard with a USB-MIDI-Interface. So this connection is still MIDI-Data. Inside the Keyboard, the MIDI-Data are "translated" into audible sounds. So you have to find a port (for example a LINE-OUT or something like that) at your Keyboard where you can pick off these sounds. From there then you make a connection to your AUDIO-IN at the PC. So you can then record your played MIDI-Sounds. I hope i understood your problem correctly! Greetings Gerd-Ulrich Meyer

I'm sorry tro insist, but it still seems to me like you think that midi is sound. *It doesnot*. Please tell us exactly: - is it your keyboard that is playing the sounds that you want to record? - if it is: hook up you *keyboard audio output* to anything that ends up *in a physical audio input of your PC soundcard*. Then activate in cubase the audio channel corresponding to the latter physical audio input of the audiocard. Create an, audio track wich has this activated channel(s) as input. Record on this audio track while your midi tracks are sending their midi stuff to the keyboar. There your have your auydio recording of your midi tracks. If I want to record you shouting "Ouch!", I will have to put my microphone in front of your mouth, not in front of the foot of yours that I might stomp. The foot stomping is the midi message. It is made in order to produce a certain sound. But it doesn't produce the sound itself. Your mouth is the audio output of the keyboard. (sorry for the metaphore). Huey

Or to understand that any controller can be assigned to any parameter, according tho how the midi device is programmed. For instance, if your midi device is a masochist person, it is programmed to eruct pleasure moans when his foot is stomped. Same midi message, but different result. There's a concept here.
