How do I record my keyboard?

Hate to do this to you, but we need details. What kind of keyboard? What type of soundcard/inputs to the computer?

We can't see what you are looking at

Yep.... we need those details. Then we can get you pointed in the right direction.

ok, but we could still use some more details on exactly what you've tried to do that doesn't work.  you say you've read the manual on the keyboard and cakewalk but can't get it to work, so that means you've tried something.

have you set up your Casio / USB cable in MC as a MIDI device INPUT or OUTPUT?  if not, do that - go to: OPTIONS>MIDI DEVICES and select the CASIO as an input.

can you select it as an INPUT on the INSTRUMENT track that comes up with the default project file?

check my web site... I have posted some info there on midi setup that might help you get going.  However, It will be easier on you if you had a better interface (soundcard) other than the lappy card.

I believe you might be able to get the lappy card to work, but the delay (latency) will be killing you. The real solution to that is a decent interface....see Beagle's site for a listing of cards that will work.

edit/add: recording audio from the speaker/headphone output of the keyboard might actually work better and be easier to do with the lappy card...... but it won't let you edit the recorded material like midi will.
