Hi
I know I have posted similar question before but Can anybody help me with how to connect my Tyros 5 via an audio interface to Audacity to record songs
I have a Behringer interface which has a single instrument input so I have connected this with line out 1 and 2 BUT Audacity is not receiving any signal
Should i use aux 1 and 2 or can anyone give me any other advice please Reason being I am adding to an existing song project where my band members have already added guitars bass and drums

It seems that you choose the right outputs on Tyros. Now you have to select the correct input interface on Audacity.
Check if on the right of the microphone icon is selected the appropriate interface (Behringer).
If not, then select the "Behringer" interface from the drop-down menu.
This is not a problem with Tyros (as long as I understand from  your description) it is a mismatch between the interface, your computer and Audacity

I have a UMC404 interface, but selection of the inputs in Audacity would be similar as I've shown in the screenshot attached (what danand was describing).

The 'Instrument' input on the Behringer interface is primarily for an electric guitar or other type of instrument that should be connected to a high impedance input, but should be OK for your Tyros. If you have the interface I'm guessing you have (UMC2 or UMC22?), the connector that accepts a mic is a 'combo' jack that can also have a 1/4"(6.3mm) connector plugged into it. You could connect the Tyros left and right outputs to each of these so you can record in stereo. If you do this you may have to adjust the gain of each channel so they are recorded at about the same levels.

Yes, that is what I do with my Focusrite interface. Remember to tell Audacity to record from the interface, and not from the speakers of the computer!
But the best thing you can do is to record your song on the Tyros and import the file to Audacity! You really do not need an audio interface for this. The Tyros recorder is very good. If desired, you can edit the file in Audacity by normalizing it or do other things with it. I used my audio interface to record from my PSR 3000, because that keyboard had no audio recorder.
