Default Re: sound cards

I like the SoundBlaster Audology series. It is very good. If you want to go
very high end, there is the Turtle Beach and others along that line. It all
depends on your budget and needs.

Get the SoundBlaster Audigy card. Much nicer than the outdated Live! cards.

It all depends how good you want to make it and what sounds good to you.
The very best would be an audio card which is more expensive but picks up
much more sound and a richer bass sound but if you don't want something that
good there are many good cards to choose from. An Apex was good but I am
not sure if they still make cards. Others that were considered good were
Turtle Beach and there was a Roland but I don't know if they still make any
cards. Some people go with the Audigy. Are you looking for both good audio
and good midi well for midi you can check out sampls sounds on the websites
of companies that provide the midi sounds.
