    Soundfonts.... SB Live! or Montego II

    Hi, I've got an TB Montego II and I was wondering if I should get a SB Live! Value in order to use soundfonts with my midi controller. When I use Audio Compositor, I can access soundfonts. But should I get a SB Live! to use them instead? Will there be any difference? Thanks in advance

    Could you help me find a preamp?

    I'm looking for a preamp to use with a Gadget Labs Wave/496 card. I would like something below the $300 level, and also one with 2 inputs. I know there's that Audio Buddy from Midiman, but it doesn't have 48V Phantom power. Any other suggestions? [This message has been edited by...
