Cough!!!
Hang on a clucking minute here! We get to post #19 before an interface is mentioned??? Bit of "Cart before gee-gee there methinks?

Anyway, the UR22 will be fine as a starter tool and it neatly solves the DAW issue with a light version of Cubase which will teach the OP most of what he needs to know in terms of setting up inputs and outputs* and getting to grips with MIDI. Plus there is a saving for an upgrade.

*Which is a PITA in Cubase IMHO. FAR simpler to do in Samplitude (or indeed AA 1.5). But then this just rams home the point that we very quickly become adept at our first DAW's functionality (MAGIX Studio Generation 6 in my case which morphed into Samplitude) and everything else seems clumsy after that.

Yup...just goes to show how personal this all is. I also hate Sonar with a passion for audio work but have a very old version that I use on the rare occasion I need a MIDI sequencer.

(Don't get your hopes up Dave--I've never tried exporting MIDI. Rather, I convert my MIDI to wave files to finish working with in Audition.)

My son quite liked Sonar (X1 Ess) but when he had done with building a MIDI song he wanted to export the data to get a better sound, e.g. Pianoteq for the Joe.

The annoying thing was that an export function was shown in a menu but greyed out and nothing we tried seemed to activate it!

Its the Core i5-3470...and the HDD is 7200 RPM...and it can be Toshiba, Samsung ,Seagate or Hitachi...depends on the availabilty of the stock...Good to go? And concerning the midi keyboard controller, im going with the Alesis QX49...

That keyboard should work fine with Cubase and decent enough to get started.

Again, you should find out which i5 you are getting. The 4 core models will give you more processing power to play with.
