What to buy for midi sounds

[astoebe]

Hey, I'm pretty new to recording my own stuff, and I have tried to read up on midi and it all confuses me. Right now I am recording with an m-audio mobile pre interface using a mxl 990 for vocals and acoustic guitar, which sound pretty good. I have been using the drums at my church which are already mixed ok when i try to do full band songs. I would like to buy some type of midi device that has natural, good sounding key/drum/bass/string sounds on it and am unsure of how to go about this. I use a program called power tracks pro audio to record, and it seems to be good, but the midi sucks. Is there a way to buy and external box and a midi keyboard controller, or a way to get something on my computer that has better midi sounds and still use it w/ the songs i have recorded on power tracks? Any suggestions or info would be helpful. Thank you!

there are a ton of sounds available on the market. and as with most stuff, the more expensive usually the better
tell us what your budget is and I'm sure someone can suggest something.
