Which audio interface should I get?


fruity loops audio



I recently purchased a Yamaha YPT-210 Keyboard and am looking to use it along with my computer to record music. I need an all-in-one audio interface that I can use all the sounds my keyboard has as well as use it as a controller.

My computer has a USB port; it does not have firewire. And my keyboard has MIDI in/out ports as well as a USB port.

I’m looking for the best audio interface to use along with Fruity Loops. Does it matter if I get a USB or MIDI connection? I’m not trying to get the best possible, but I don’t want my music to sound crappy.

I’m new to using hardware so any help would be appreciated!

    The cheap way is to buy a cheap midi cable and some 1/8 wire with male ends on both sides and get a 1/4 adapter and plug it into the headphone jack, it may sound like crap though.
    You could try to find a 1/8 to 1/4 wire, but I haven’t seen one (I also haven’t looked)

    the 1/8 w/ 1/4 adapter though is only if your headphone jack needs a 1/4 cord, like my synthesizer does and my yammaha keyboard has.

    There is a few other ways, but I can’t remember them at the moment.

    Well, you can use the USB port as a midi controller and the headphone out as an audio track. You may not want to do this at the same time because you might record more than you want to.
    Personally, I think soft synths sound better than hardware… but that’s just me.
