Hi Sherry,
Thanks for the info about the "full manual" available on the audacity site. I spoke too soon before about nobody writing a manual for dummies. Their manual is very understandable and complete. Thanks Audacity guys!
I do think there should be some sort of set up to configure a midi device if the program doesn't recognize it and make it available in the drop down menu. I finally figured out after three days that the only way I could record with my keyboard is to open Composer, and select PC2 on my keyboard (which should not be done for that purpose). Then minimize Composer and open Audacity to record. The volume is very faint and there is a little distortion, but it works. My keyboard connects to the computer with a USB connector. There is no "line-in" to connect it to my soundcard, but luckily I found the work-around. This could be a very useful tool with Composer
