i'm looking into putting together a new system from scratch and am wondering what would be the best sound card/audio interface to use with sonar xl. i have not bought any pieces of equipment yet. my biggest concerns are latency, especially during playback/record, and midi, since i will be doing nearly no audio recording. sonar claims some pretty impressive numbers on concerning latency if you have a sound card with wdm drivers, but i would like to hear about some real world experiences with it, not a salesman's. also, i'm really new to this stuff, so if my terminology is not all correct, please forgive me. i have never actually used any software of this type for more than a few minutes, but have heard that cakewalk is really good with midi. i want to make my own electronic music, with main interest in techno, trance and house.
thanks in advance for your input.
