Tony,

I've been recording right along with Cakewalk playing the midi file and me with headphones to prevent the speakers from bleeding into the sax mic.

I do have some midi files on the HD in my keyboard that I can use and I have some of those very good sequences I did with the i30.

I never thought of using my keyboard and recording it Audio. I guess it will record all of the accompaniment parts on one track in Cakewalk?

Then as you said I could go back and record the Sax Audio on another track and that should solve my synchronization problem.

I do have Cakewalk support and a sax buddy from Australia helping. He's a sax guy and understands all of this stuff.

But I can't think of any reason that what you suggested won't work Tony.

I'm so glad to find others that seem to think that software recording is a pain in the neck. That is encouraging to me. I thought I was too old to learn.

I'm going to give this another try recording everything Audio and see what Cakewalk support comes up with.

I may get the Zoom MRS4 or the Fostex MR8. If I can't figure one of them out I won't be out a bunch of money.

Mike,

May be my computer isn't up to snuff? I never thought of that.

I have the 533 MHz Celeron,15GHD, 256SyncDRAM, 128 KB L2Cache 66MHz system bus.
What do you think?

thanks for all the help,
Boo
