Computer audio/recording problems - KORG M1, MIDI, Sound Blaster
Live, Cakewalk, Sonic Foundry ACID Music

I am unable to record music played on an older KORG M1 keyboard into
a computer using either Sonic Foundry and or Cakewalk's recording
applications. I believe that the midi cables are installed properly
into the hardware device and that updated drivers have been properly
installed but am not totally sure. The data below lists the
applications and hardware that I am running and provides some visuals
on the set up under some of the menus. Also, if anyone knows of any
updated recording/mixing freeware or cheapwear that can be run on
WINXP, please let me know. Any assistance in helping me troubleshoot
my problems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In the control panel, under sounds and multimedia I have reviewed the

set up properly. I believe they are.
