EVERYTHING HAS A TICK NEXT TO IT IN THE PREFERENCES AREA,IT COULD BE A FEW THINGS-THE KEYBOARD IS SECOND HAND AND I DONT KNOW IF THE MIDI BIT IS BROKEN,I HAD TO BUY A NEW SOUND CARD WITH A GAME PORT TO TAKE THE MIDI CABLE AND IM NOT SURE IF THATS OK AND THEN THERE IS USER ERROR AS IM NEW -ISH TO REASON AND NEVER TRYED TO DO THIS B4 ADDED TOGETHER WITH A NEW BABY IN THE HOUSE,MADNESS.ALSO IM THE ONLYONE NEAR ME USING REASON(I THINK)SO MY ONLY OPTION IS THE INTERNET FORUMS.

posting the same question more than once will definitely help you get more answers. I think you should try creating 3 or 4 more threads, just be creative with your topic headers. Like: "How can I produce like DJ Sammy" or "How do connect my MIDI to speakers?".

This will definitely help you get more replies. One thread is never enough around here.
