ive been trying to record with my Yamaha s90sx piano but it doesn't detect it. It can detect my Novation and record stuff i play from it from Import Audio Recording. Please help
Hi
It would help us give you the correct answer if you tell us how you are connecting the Yamaha to the computer.
Are you using the USB port ?
or
connecting the Audio out to the Audio in on the computer - if so which colour socket are you plugged into on the computer.

According to the PDF manual of Yamaha S90 XS on Page 36 it has showed "Connecting to a computer" and on page 38 it has also talked about Computer software that can be controlled from the S90 XS/S70 XS Cubase, SONAR, Logic Pro, Digital Performer. For the most recent information, refer to the following URL:

Hope you have already completed above part.
For Music Maker settings
Start Music Maker To open Program settings click "P" key on computer , first check AUDIO/MIDI TAB and under that INPUT DEVICE (Yamaha S90 XS) should be selected. Then click GENERAL TAB and under that check ASIO settings, Settings depends on ASIO driver choose one. Now go to Control Panel of computer click on “Sound” then click on “Record tab” and choose your Yamaha S90 XS click OK and leave. It is better if you restart computer.
Hope this information will help you.

Hi
By going through the USB port you are using the Yamaha as a Midi controller to play the MMM the midi synthesizers. See these tutorials by Nihon69
How to connect a USB keyboard and How to solve Latency problems
If you want to record the sound from the Yamaha then you need to use its audio out to the computers audio in, most likely the line in (blue) socket if the Yamaha output is at a higher level eg 500mV - check witth your keyboard manual as you do not want to use the mic socket with a high signal level - you wil get distortion.
