How do I do this?
I have been using a ZOOM 8 track mixer but thought it might be time to come to the future and start recording through computer...
I mainly play keyboards.
I dont understand what MIDI does. My keyboard has MIDI sockets etc.
I know there is such thing as a USB to MIDI connecter. Will this then allow me to simply play my keyboard and record into the laptop using some music editing software?
A cheap program I saw was Sony Music Maker:

It says this - simply plug your microphone or instrument into your PC sound card and click Record to capture audio and MIDI.
What does that mean? Does that mean I can do the method mentioned above (MIDI to USB)?
I always thought that MIDI was that crappy poly sort of sound like computers of the 80's?
Please, any help would be great
