Since we're on the topic.
Most PC soundcards on the MB are fine. They're built for DVD quality audio.
And BAIB is great live.
BAIB lets up push up and down the tempo live, and repeat chorus, etc. from midi keys.
Alas
You might want to use the same PC to play along with other VST plugins.
You may want to process both BAIB and a mic, with VST synths through some other DAW.
The problem here is that you can't mix the audio through another daw on the same system.
BAIB has no Rewire, and it doesn't work with Reaper ReaRoute.
