Quote:Mazz, or couldn't she just record one thing at a time? I know it can be a little time consuming, but that's always another option. Or record one keyboard using midi and the other using audio, at the same time? That would work, wouldn't it? I've done all 3 ways before.ibanez468That would work but I'd be willing to be she'd want to hear how the first and second keyboard sounds blend before committing them to "tape". You can record both to MIDI at the same time but only hearing one at a time seems counterproductive.Also, for me, constantly plugging and unplugging stuff is a waste of time. Mixers give more flexibility to a system anyway. You can plug headphones in to them and control the level of your speakers, etc. Mixers also allow for zero latency monitoring of what's plugged in to them and you can hear your keyboards without having to boot up your computer or plug it in to an amp (more plugging and unplugging, more time spent waiting for computers to boot!!) Yes, it's a little bit more money but a used Mackie 1202 would do nicely. Cheers,Mazz

imagine if John Williams and Trent Reznor met at Bernard Hermann's for lunch and Brian Eno was the head chef!
