Greetings -

I have a Roland F-90 digital piano that I'd like to record.
Can anyone suggest an inexpensive hardware interface would allow me to record into
i) a WinXP PC running Audacity?
ii) a Macbook or Mini running, say, GarageBand?

Thanks.

- Richard

Sure, just about any USB 1.1 interface by just about any manufacturer. You only need line level inputs if you don't use any microphones. The M-Audio Transit comes to mind and is ProTools capable. So it's designed for both PCs and Macs. About $80 US which includes some software along with compatible drivers for Mac and PC's. You did indicate you wanted a MIDI device but that only records data. I take it you actually want to record the sound of your axe as opposed to just the MIDI data? I could be wrong? In which case you need anybody's midi interface to USB. Then the computer can play back your synthesizer. It's all in what you really want to do?

I feed mine from API 3124m's so I'm happy, acoustically speaking.
