Hi Sparqee,

Thanks for the great explanation of a audio interface, that makes much more sense now.

So does that mean I need the audio interface to record the audio output from my keyboard into CuBase? Is that all I need to be able turn my midi tracks into audio tracks? Is there anything else I should know?

What would the physical connection look like if it were on a diagram? Would it be from my digital out (or my L/R Outputs) of my keyboard ->audio interface/ soundcard - > to computer/ Cubase? Or would it be a different connection?

Sorry for the elementary type questions, it's hard to get the answers your looking for when you don't even know if you're asking the right questions.

BTW, I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but it looks like the only audio inputs I have on my laptop are a Mic In, and Headphones jack. I do have firewire and 3 USB ports though.

I certainly do appreciate your help, thanks!
