I know there are several related threads on this subject already. However, I have some questions, and might as well make ANOTHER thread.
I have been talking out of my hat, as I don't actually have the damn thing YET.
So - the inputs on the live drive, and the inputs on the back of the PCI card: are they inputs seperate? Can you plug two sound sources into them, and get two seperate tracks that you can use in a multi-track recording program?
Can you use the soundfonts as a cheapo sampler? Are the other soundfonts available on the internet any good? Keep in mind that I am comparing them to the general midi on an ensoniq audioPCI, and anything better than that would constitute 'good' for me.
I know that there are inexpensive multi-in and out cards. But for the same price range (a hundred dollars more for Americans means 150-200 more for me in Canada), do you get a midi interface and sounds? Do you get a DSP chip (regardless of quality)? Do you get a quite reasonable amount of bundled software?
Unless I am missing something, it seems like a good starter set-up for me.
