I would like to make piano (e-piano) recordings on my laptop. In addition I have an audio cable, which I can plug with 2 large jack plugs into the stereo line out channel of my E-Pianos. On the other side is a small 3-pin jack plug. That usually comes in the microphone or audio input of my PC and then I record. Folded always so far. But would now like to take the laptop, because each time to move the Tower PC along with cable clutter somehow close enough to the piano is really awkward in my case! My laptop has only one headset input (ie 4 pin I suspect) and S / PDIF. I do not really know what the second is. Thought it should work - but it does not. Audio device is not recognized in Audacity. I'm a little disappointed. What equipment do I need to be able to record over the Lappy?
My laptop is a Lenovo Y50, operating system Windows 10, I take pictures via Audacity.
A USB sound card with LineIn, or a decent audio interface for USB… SPDIF is a digital output. Your headphone connection is a microphone / headset jack connection. Although there are adapters that provide the mic separately, but about it you should not feed any audio devices…
I would also recommend a small external sound card.

Gives cheaper, but not as expensive as an interface (from the professional area)
USB to MIDI cable like Prodipe 1 x 1. Add Cubase LE 9 AI for 16.90 euro

Install DVD, assign inputs / outputs. Asio4 All Sound Card.
Thanks but I do not record with MIDI, just directly the piano sound. I already have such a cable but a "fake" piano does not sound so good.
OK thanks! Damn that I had imagined really easier 😒 again to buy something, that must wait until I can afford that. Too bad.
