Try to record from my digital piano, but not getting any monitoring sound or sound after recording. Basically, I’m not getting anything.
I have tried all driver settings, I’ve tried plugging directly into the headphone jack on my PC as well as connecting with MIDI.
I can’t get any audio whatsoever unless I use one of the built in instruments. Honestly, I just want to plug and play at this point.
My PC does recognize the piano when I plug it into mp3 jack and USB for the MIDI. What am I missing?
Hi
If you are trying record the audio from the piano via the audio out of the piano and Line in on your computer you will not hear anything until you turn the track AUDIO REC off after recording analog audio.
For using the piano as a MIDI controller you need to set Music Maker to use the ASIO drivers these are the settings that work for me - if you do not have a different internal audio card then the Advanced settings should be similar.
If neither of the above work then we need more information about how you are connecting the piano to the computer ie are you using any external devices, and you computer specification - see this topic for what is required.

Turns out I needed to update the driver for the piano. Thank you for the response.
However, direct line in still doesn’t have any audio. I have it set to the magix latency for asio driver, used advanced settings and made sure the line in was enabled. What else am I missing?
@Brooke-Harvey Only ASIO drivers give you live audio while recording in Music Maker.
Tried Asio4all driver, didn’t work. Any other suggestions?
How, exactly, are you connecting your keyboard to your computer? Earlier you wrote:

What is the mp3 jack? Line In to from your keyboard to your computer needs the Line Out socket(s) of your keyboard to be connected to some kind of Line In on your computer if Audio is to be transferred.
Alright, so when I switched the Audio line in to the 3+4, I was getting response on the monitor levels but hearing no sound. Recorded a couple key strokes, and they appeared but didn’t have audio during playback. After a few minutes, the audio line-in changed to line-in Realtek and audio during playback is present without me doing anything. All I need now is to find out how to get audio while recording or do you think I might be having a software issue due to this random delay and change? I have the latest premium version. I have a new interface coming in tomorrow, but the “line-in” option is convenient to me when I’m in a hurry and just want to record a quick idea, kind of like a journal.
@Brooke-Harvey Without screenshots we cannot see what options inside the driver settings are available to you. This make troubleshooting nearly impossible.
ASIO driver is not producing playback, but the WASAPI driver is.
@Brooke-Harvey WASAPI will not give you the features you want. What do you see, if you select Magix Low Latency and click on "Advanced..."?
Sorry for the delay. After further playing around, I think it’s actually my PC causing the problem. It has been locking up and freezing lately. Called HP Support, and found out the “new” tower I bought from Best Buy was sold over a year ago. I’m guessing someone returned it and Best Buy put it back on the shelf. I’ll be returning it and looking for a new tower elsewhere. What recording I am able to get lag during the process during playback to where I have to exit the software and reopen each time I want to record a new track. I know when I used this software a decade ago it wasn’t this complicated to get audio working and record, so I’m not longer blaming the software now haha. Thanks for all of your help.
