OK, I just got a new Midiman 2496 soundcard and an Oxygen 8 MIDI controller. I installed Cakewalk Express to test everything out and I cannot get any input from the MIDI controller. My computer recognizes it and I can see that input is coming to the computer, but Cakewalk is giving me nothing...

Okay, I have an AMD K6 300 speed processor and want to know if that can handle computer based recording. I have no idea. Of course, I will beef up the RAM (256) and put in a nice sound card. Do you need a blazing processor?? It seems having an Athlon or a P4 is awfully popular, but is it...
