sounds good..well ive got it all going well just now...the toneports taken up any issue with a soundcard...looks like i can do most of what i want with the pc ive got (except for a malfunctioning graphics card)...going to go with sonar (hopefully pro edition) & NI Battery 3 (going for $99)...with pod farm and sonars soft synths I should be able to get started...got an m audio 49 for $50 and bought a cheap washburn, a bass and a sienheiser e 835..
