Ok, I'm completely confused about what I need.
What I want to do is just put sounds onto hiphop tracks, like scenematics, or moods into the background to give different atmospheres. To be able to just use nice piano sounds and add the odd touch, preferably sounding good.
I have no idea what type of midi port I need, if I don't get one in my soundcard...will a cheap 59$ one in and one out midi connection work? (ex. Winman1x1) is this what a midi interface is...?
What I'm thinking of getting through reading posts is a JV-1010 or JV-1080 for value, I'm not even sure what these do, doesn't my computer generate sounds for a keyboard...?
I was thinking a 120$ keyboard controller...What is a keyboard controller, is that the actual devise with the keys etc, looks like a piano sorta...?
Sorry for the dumb questions...
Why are some soundcards so expensive, is this because they can't be hooked to a computer so they have to do more work on their own or what? Do I need a setup this expensive to do what I want...?
Thanks!
