How To Setup Roland Drums For Streaming

I have gone down the path of streaming my drum playing as I learn to become a better drummer. There are a few ways you can stream with audio, but here is how I do it. While the title specifically references Roland, this guide will work for any electronic drum kit, whether it be Alesis or some other brand.

Recently I bought a MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display and the first thing I wanted to do was connect my Casio CTK-800 keyboard to it and use it with Garageband just like I saw in this epic video where these guys jammed out on such a retro set up! source – http://progamerreview.com/ The driver for Mac OS can be found here and even though it specifically states versions 10.7 and 10.8, it will work on 10.9 and presumably later versions of Mac OS when they’re released.
