keyboard to computer recording

I bought a cable that has dual 1/4" plugs to one 1/4" plug. I put the dual inputs into the L and R channels out and the single 1/4" input into my line in on my sound card. I don't get any sound/input. I just bought a M-Audio Plus USB interface as suggested by someone and tried that but still nothing. I tried every single option in the Options/Audio. Either the cable is bad or it's not the right cable. I selected one from Amazon that said it was an audio cable. I will need to try another cable. Now that I have a usb interface I should probably use that instead of going directly into the sound card - is that correct? So then I should get a dual 1/4" to dual 1/4" or get two separate cables with 1/4" male on each end. Could you please list a good quality cable, preferably with a model number so I can order the correct ones? I only need about 10'. I will also post this in the Sound Forge forum since I can't get it to work with that program either.

Hey Joejon,

How about keeping your question in one forum - the one relating to which application you will be primarily recording into ?

Also you may like to ask general DAW questions here at my forum:

or https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/PCDAW/info

Everybody else welcome too !

cheers

you may want to verify your audio interface is selected in your recording app. You also need to verify that windows sound menu (in the Control Panel) has your audio device selected as default.

Enable line in recording in your sound card advanced controls.
