Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey dave!  As you've prolly noticed I like to make recordings and 
turn them into mp3s and post them! :)  The method I use is to plug 
the DTX module directly into my computer.  I'm not using any midi 
cables or anything like that.  I'm simply plugging into the 
headphone jack, with an adaptor to fit the phones jack, and plugging 
the end into my soundcard's microphone jack, which fits perfectly 
and does not require an adaptor.  (I don't know if you want to go 
this route or were even planning to.)  From there my computer can 
now pick up my DTX and I control the volume via the soundcard's 
controls.  When I have everything sounding good, I use a piece of 
Software called Cool Edit Pro, which can multi-track and or record 
your single dtx.  There are several pieces of software that can do 
this.  With Cool Edit Pro you save all your tracks as wav files and 
then its very easy to turn the wav files into mp3s with some good cd 
ripping software.  Once you have your mp3s you can burn cds for your 
friends or post them here or just listen to yourself play day in and 
day out! :)  I'm sure other people will help ya out too!  If you 
have anymore questions, just ask us!
