Greetings all,
Thanks for taking the time to read this but I have been gearing up for some home spun music creation and now that I have all that I think I need and want, I need some serious advice on how to connect all of this.
Equipment: Roland SH-201 Synthesizer, M-AUDIO Axiom 25 Controller, Alesis SR-16 Drum Machine, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum Sound Card w/ Midi in/out.
Software: Sonar 4 XL (Main) with Ableton Live Lite for M-Audio (came with the controller), Audacity, Kristal, and energyXT2. I want to narrow these down or delete some of them and use Sonar 4 mainly.
All of the aforementioned equipment all has MIDI in and out as well as MIDI through on the drum machine.
Could somebody please direct me on connecting all of this to my PC using the Audigy 2 front MIDI connections and then some advice on getting some sound out of this setup??
If there are any links to other forums, websites, etc. you have to suggest then please pass them along as well.
I am somewhat technically savvy and learn quickly with such things but I have not yet found the right source of information on the net as of yet.
I would greatly appreciate ANY help I can get.
