How to record my electric pia

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro sound card installed in my WindowsXP pc.
I have a Roland RD700SX stage piano and I wish to record my playing on my pc somehow.
This Audigy card has this external box with all kinds of inputs and outputs and I am at a loss on how to connect my piano to this.
My piano has /4" outs as well as XLR outs as well as MIDI . It also has USB which I currently connect to my pc so that I can play some midi files from my pc and they play on the keyboard.
But now I want to record myself and need to know if there is a way using this Audigy card.
Which input would I need to plug into first of all? Can I use the 2 rca in's? My /4" cables that I use to plug into my amp have /4" to rca adaptors. But looking at documentation, the rca's on the back say they're used for analog devices like vcr's and such. My keyboard is a digital keyboard as well as a stereo keyboard (left and right outs).
I don't think I want to use Midi connections do I? I want to record authentic recordings and make them into MP3 format.
Anyways, any advice would be appreciated.
PS: I do have 2 software programs that I'm not sure will help here, Cubasis and Audacity.
Is there any Creative software in this suite that I have that I would utilize?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately, most of what you said went way over my head.
I have /4" cables from my keyboard and I can plug an RCA adaptor on the other end. Do I plug these cables into the RCA left and rights on the Audigy box?
I do not plan on adding effects, mixing, etc. I just want to simply record my piano playing.
So if I open Cubasis, which SoundBlaster source do I pick, there's about 5 or 6 different ones.
I'm such a noob at this, and the Cubasis program is very hard to understand. Any detailed simple instructions would be appreciated.
There is a guide called "Music Creation Guide" either installed (you should find it under "Documentation on Start--Programs...Creative--Soundblaster--Audigy nn-->" or in hard disk or driver/software CD (which can be found @
- installation path; C:\Program Files\Creative\_your_card_model_\Music Creation Guide\
- path on original installation CD; \Audio\Setup\GuideBk\ (select language)
Drivers:
W/ Cubasis you should see listed something like
ASIO Multimedia (don't use)
ASIO DirectX (don't use)
Creative ASIO -->6-bit/48kHz (OK)
SB Audigy 2 Zs ASIO [nnnn] --> 6-bit/48kHz (OK)
SB Audigy 2 Zs ASIO 24/96 [nnnn] --> 24-bit/96kHz (OK) best quality
You also need to set the project samplerate to 48kHz or 96kHz and recording bit-depth to 6, 24 or 32 (depending on which of above mentioned mode you use).
As the CD and MP3 quality are 6-bit/44.kHz, you need to make a saplerate conversion from 48kHz to 44.kHz and dither from 32/24-bit to 6-bit if recording as 32/24-bit to get your project files exported to Wave or MP3 (many burning software can do these "on the fly"). I don't know the features of Cubasis but you can do this w/ software like Voxengo r8brain (freeware) when your data is still in wave format.
If you plan to record the piano only, just use Craeti've Media Source and record using 6-bit/44.kHz right away into wave or MP3 format (as you wish).

How much recording time on my iphone 4 voice memo?

How much recording time on iphone4 voice memo?

I would suggest that it depends on how much free space you have on the phone. I have done voice memos of over an hour before, and have read of other users reporting larger ones. I do not believe there is any documented source of what size you can do.

How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini

Hi all,
How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini. The headphone have a microphone. It can record on window 7, but on mac mini, it's not working.
I don't know why. Please help me.
Thanks.

Open Quicktime Player
File Menu: New Audio Recording....
However... if the headphone/microphone combination has two 3.5mm jack plugs (pink and green) then the microphone output (pink) is "mic.level" - which is TOO QUIET for the audio input on a Mac, which is expecting the much stronger "line.level" signal strength.
Solutions: get a microphone pre-amplifier between the mic and the Mac (not cheap); or a different microphone with a USB interface.

How can I set limitations on how many records a report can return

I have a report on the web using Oracle Reports builder and I have the client enter in date parameters for the report that they want.
Well with date ranges for different clients a different number of records are returned. Because of time it can take the report to return I want to limit the number of records that report can return.
How can I go about doing that? I don't want to limit with date parameters because date won't really work for me. I need to limit on how many records can be returned. If it exceeds 10,000 records I want the client to refine the date range of schedule the report to run later. Meaning we will run that report. So I would have two check boxes if the count was over 10,000 do you want to define your date or schedule the job to run later.
Can any one help me with this? How would I go about this?

To know if the report is going to return more than 10,000 records, you first have to run the query with a 'select count(1) from ... where ...' (with the same from and where clauses as you normal query). Since this takes about the same time as runnng your report, I wonder if you really gain anything (although formatting may take some time too).
You may simplify the select count(1) query by omitting all the lookup tables that are only needed for formatting. That way your query may run a lot faster. You can put this in your after parameter form trigger.

That's not a feature of the iPhone. You would have to route your calls through a 3rd party service to do so.

How to record from the video in or S-video Ports on Qosmio G40?

Can anyone tell me how to record from the video in or S-video ports, because i've tried the Ulead DVD factory program and the only capture device it could see was the webcam, and it did capture from it
After that i've downloaded the update file that was provided by the support website
The devices that the program could see are the TV tuner and the webcam (which it couldn't access anymore for some reason)
After that i've downloaded a newer update which simply is the same as the last update and seems that someone in the support website directed the link of the new update which they don't have to the file of the previous update which doesn't really do anything.

Hi
There are 2 s-video ports; s-video out port is not designed to capture the signals from any external source. The name of this port says everything; its an OUT port!
The s-video-in port must be placed at the right side of the notebook. Dont mix the both ports. But note; this port receives only the video signals. To hear the sounds, use a video cable to connect the sound terminals of the audio device and your computer.
Red: sound right channel
White: sound left channel
The Ulead DVD Movie factory can be used to capture this signal.

How to record a simple sidebar video as in Adobe Presenter 7

In Adobe Presenter 9, how to record a video with my webcam to put as a sidebar video for one slide ?
In Presenter 7 we could do that easily. Now with the new video editer we can make great videos and capture the screen. But that's not what need...
How to do a simple sidebar video without capturing the screen...
Look at the point 4 on this website: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS56318F3C-65A7-477b-8CAA-2CBF0902BA5B.html
3-...Capture video...
4-...then select... ...sidebar video to record video for the Presenter image area.
It was easy in Presenter 7 !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

When you use the video recording feature in Presenter 8+, it does record a stand alone WMV of your webcam. While the workflow isn't as clean as before, it can be inserted back in just as a sidebar video, without the background screen capture. Here is how you can do it:
Use the Presenter Video Creator to record your video. Disregard that your screen is being captured, you won't use it.
After you record your video, Save your project. Don't publish it, as the published output is useless to you.
Back in Presenter, choose to Insert Video.
Browse to your webcam capture (My Documents > My Adobe Presenter Video Projects > {What ever you named the capture} > mt). Should be named something like presenter_video1.wmv
Presenter will convert it to FLV, you can select the quality and location, slide or sidebar, as in previous versions of Presenter.
If desired, you can use a 3rd part video conversion tool to convert the WMV video, but that may not be necessary.

Is there any limit on how many records a cursor can hold?

Hi Everyone,
This is Amit here. I want to know whether there is any limit on how many records a cursor can hold.
I have a program in which i am creating a cursor and passing it to another procedure as an input parameter. But the count of cursor query is more than 15 Lakhs. The program is running forever.
Just wanted to know whether the huge data is the problem.
Thanks ....

Now multiply that waiting for I/O time with a million - for a million rows. Or by a billion, for a billion rows.
Is "+huge data+" a problem? Not really - it simple needs more work to get that amount of data from disk. More work means slower performance. It is that simple.
Which is why the row-by-row approach used by many developers is wrong. You do not pull a million rows from disk and process it in PL/SQL or Java or .Net. Heck, you do not even pull 10,000 rows like that.
The correct approach is to think data sets and use SQL to process that for you - and only return the bare minimum of data to the application layer. Maximize SQL. Minimize PL/SQL and Java and .Net.

How to record the screen in snow leopard ?

how to record the screen in snow leopard ?

Must I find it myself !
Well you could try Google :-)
I am unsure if you want a static image, or a movie recording of what you are doing on your screen.
Images can be done using Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, and Command-Shift-4-Space.
3rd party utilities such as Skitch will allow you to annotate the image after you capture it.
Making a movie of your screen activities can be done usng Applications -> Quicktime
There are 3rd party screen records such as Snapz Pro, ScreenSteps, etc...
And of course you can do a Google search.

How & why Record with an external drive?

Hi. Okay, in another topic I posted it was recommended that I record with an external drive and not the internal drive... I have a 7200rpm firewire 400 lacie drive... so how do record with it? Why and how will this improve my Logic Pro recording experience? I also have a FirePod firewire interface.
Thanks,
Bill K.

To record onto an external drive, simply go to the audio menu and choose "Set Audio Record Path..." From here set your recording path to be somewhere on your external drive.
In general, it best to record to a drive other than your system drive. Depending on what you are doing, the system drive can be writing/reading cash files, data files and doing other Logic/OSX related activities in the background, all of which slows down your disk. You of course can still use your system drive to access data, but because its doing other operations, you may not be able to run as many audio tracks at once as you could using a dedicated external drive.
Try both methods and see which works best for you and your system.

How to record menus that display when mouse hovers

The software I am creating a training session for has

the mouse hovers over them. I can only get Captivate to record the

You can change the timing yourself - just reduce the time the
slide catch
with print screen to a second or whatever works for you.

No of records in SAP BI Corresponds to how many records in database

Dear all
If i have 2lakh records in a datasource then how it Corresponds to how many records in database.

For the first time load the datasource , the no of records in the database(source) must be equal to the number of records in the PSA(datasource).
If you are daily deleting the records in the PSA , and doing a delta load then the no of records in PSA must be equal to the no of records in delta queue RSA7 for the corresponding datasource .
If the load is a full load everytime or a full repair ,then the no of records in PSA must be equal to the numbers of records in source.

How to record multiple tracks together?

Ok, completely new to garage band, but I don't see why this is so difficult to figure out. I get how to record a track, and then play it as a loop. But how do I then record something new WITH that loop, so that the two tracks play together (and not just record over it, deleting the first track). For example, how can I record a rhythm part on the guitar, stop it, hit the loop button, and then record a solo over it? Everytime I try this it either records over the first recording (deleting it), or even though it looks like its recording when I stop and hit play I am still only hearing the first track. Very frustrating...
Thanks!!!!

You create a second track for the solo and record to the second track, then play both tracks together.
Use the "Record enable" button in the track header to enable only the solo guitar track for recording, once your rhythm loop has been recorded.
