Hello,

I do not know why and how, but somehow I cannot even record my Kawai ES-6´s inbuild piano sound  without a loss in quality. I sounds flat, sometimes distorted and not at all like the sounds on my piano.

I guess that I might have done something wrong in my set up, cables or the settings in Total Mix.

In addition I only get a stereo sound in AN 2, as long as I do not click on Stereo! but even when clicking on stereo the sound feels flat and not like the original.

Alternatively I can click on MS Proc, Inst and Stereo and get some stereo signal but again, with bad quality.

As I said, at this moment of time I only want to record the original sounds from my digital piano (no effects etc.) either directly or when I do a Midi playback through my keyboard.

My set up is a follows:

1 x 6.5mm Stereo 1/4" Jack Cable from Phone Out on my Kawai´s ES 6 digital piano to Instrument In on Babyface

I have a cuad 4 laptop with Realtek soundcard all with Windows 7 and Cubase 6 Elements

I am listining to the sound via the Phones Out next to the Instrument In on the Babyface.

Funnily enough when conncting the Keyboard´s Phone or Line Out to the Phones In on the RME´s breakout cable I get the perfect sound, like the original, but for some reason it is not monitored anywhere in Total Mix and therefore of no use to me.

I sincerely hope that someone can help in here

Thanks in advance
