can I hook up this keyboard to my computer to record music

According to an excerpt from page E-34 from the instruction booklet: "You can connect the Digital Keyboard to a computer and exchange MIDI data between them. You can send play data from the Digital Keyboard to music software running on your computer, or you can send MIDI data from your computer to the Digital Keyboard for playback." My son hasn't gotten that far into things yet, so I can't say how it works first hand. I hope this helps you out.

Not at all. Most of the sound effects and things that you would eventually want will be available through software on your computer. Just note that this keyboard itself won't emit sound. Just MIDI commands. The sound will come from your computer.

You can connect this unit to your computer using the USB cable - it'll function as a MIDI controller for your favorite computer software to get even more functionality

It depends more on your OS than your DAW...on win 7 it should work fine, probably on 8 too. Just remember to set it as your default recording and playback card on your pc and it should hook up no problem.

No this keyboards doesn't make sounds by itself, you can plug headphones into whatever you will use to make the soumds ie your computer.

no, not with this keyboard, it only has a headphone output and an input for a sustain pedal. ok.

Yes, you can. Kind of the point of a usb MIDI controller. Works with all the DAWs I've tried on (ie Ableton and FL).

Has to be through a computer or iPad. It's designed for DAWs like Ableton Live, Fruity Loops, Logic Pro, etc. This is a midi controller, not a traditional keyboard/synth.

Yes you can Plug it in your computers. a handheld recording device will give ease of use (I will buy it myself).

if the keyboard has quarter inch outputs or RCA outputs then it will hook up fine. And it will support a microphone also at the same time.

No. the keyboard is a controller. It has no sounds of it's own. Therefore there is no audio out plug. Only midi out.The audio out will come from the laptop, desktop or iPhone/iPod/iPad that you connect the board to. That computer(or other) must have the instrument software. You will also need headphones and or speakers.

If you mean a recording function for another instrument like a guitar directly into the keyboard, I don't think so. But if you are recording MIDI IN the source (guitar) THRU the keyboard OUT into a recorder or DAW, this function is available on most keyboards with full MIDI compatibility (IN, OUT, and THRU).

Yes. The inputs on the bottom are combination 1/4" and XLR. What you need is a cable that is stereo on one side (the keyboard side) that splits into two mono 1/4" plugs (left and right). Plug the left mono cable into the left jack on the bottom and the right cable into the right side. You can set the left/right panning on the unit to get your desired mix, then use overdub mode to lay down the keyboard track. Simple. Ignore the other posts referring to output and the bloke that said "No." It works and does a fine job.

Yes you would just need the midi to usb or whatever port is on your hardware could be usb to usb.

No you can't record at all this is a professional playback machine only. If you need to record you will need to look at a CD-RW900 designed for record and playback it will cost slightly more. I should also mention if you are recording an acoustic piano you will need a small mixer and a set of mics as well otherwise you should be able to use the outs from the keyboard and send those to the recorder but a small mixer setup is best in my opin.

I haven't tried recording with the keyboard software, what I do is connect the keyboard to my computer via a midi to USB and I record straight to the computer, I use garage band and a Steinway piano software too. Good luck!
