How to Harness a M-Audio MIDI to Your Computer for Live Music

By Andy Ainsworth


These days, it's straightforward for well-nigh everybody to start a family recording studio with just a few items of equipment. Providing you have a running pc, some kind of instrument, and a MIDI controller you can rock out. Here are the steps to connecting an M-Audio MIDI to your Computer or Mac so you can craft and record tunes.

You'll have to hookup an audio interface to your computer. This is the machine that you'll plug your instruments into. You can get one of these online or at a music or electronics store. Even Craigslist should have some.

Hook up your M-Audio MIDI keyboard or other machine to the computer audio interface. Just ensure it's joined to the right port or it won't work.

After that, attach your instruments to the interface. You'll probably see something that says "Input" or "Audio In" on top of the port for the instruments.

Hook up your speakers using the output ports on the panel. These can be any sort of speakers they don't have to be gigantic.

If you're going to record your guitar with the MIDI, you'll have to stick to a few steps to check the whole thing is set up perfectly. Here's how to get set up for recording:

Plug in an instrument line to your guitar, and then plug in the other end to the keyboard's interface board

Open up your recording application whatever it is-and get going on recording a track. Now, you should be able to listen to the sound of the guitar coming through on the MIDI

Basically punch the record button on your computer and begin singing

Use the MIDI to insert other instrumental sounds if desired

Then you should be set to rock out. Ensure your sound levels are adjusted properly so you don't whack your eardrums out! You can use the M-Audio MIDI keyboard to transfer notes from the instrument to the pc. You will be able to produce all kinds of great sound effects once you understand how to navigate your MIDI mechanism. Have fun playing and do not be frightened to evaluate different things.
