I am new to the forum posts but I regularly read posts. I have had BiaB and PT for many years and loved the product. I have used these programs to lay down basic tracks and load into a Boss BR1600 digital recorder and then add vocals, guitar, etc., to finish the songs.
I recently purchased RealBand and have been impressed with the possibilities. My issue is the extreme amount of electronic noise from the computer sound card. I used a Roland Sound Canvas with my work with Power Tracks and did not have this issue. I want to use an external audio/midi interface but I am completely baffled as to what to get. I don't need a bunch of mike inputs, etc., as I love the Boss recorder. I need a simple but effective interface that has input from the computer and two outputs to go to the recorder. I intend to lay down tracks with Real Band, mix on the computer, then download to the Boss unit for other recording.
I would really appreciate any help!
