Okay, thank you. I will look into both of these.
I am new to this. In short, I want to write and edit music using the keyboard talking to the software program and not just create in the software program. I am starting with darkwave because it is free and I need to know what I need to know and want before I purchase anything. I am a lifelong musician and I know I will create better this way. I may use Audacity if I record vocals, but was just using it more as a check as to why I couldn't see the keyboard as an input in either and it's easier to see such issues in audacity.
I am a on a learning curve here but when A and B don't connect you're stopped. 🙂
Let's see how this works. Again, thank you!
UPDATE: In DarkWave, nothing will show in that top box. I will dig in there for awhile. I did find the player option in Audacity as you said above THANKS!
