I installed the trial and made a video starting with Forte working and changing to Coyote WT. I rebooted BIAB when I switched. Sound memory is pretty short but fast forwarding back and forth between the two I really couldn't discern a difference between them. I'd like to give Forte a fair trial and I'm curious as to where I would notice a significant or even discernible difference between the two. Any ideas as to a specific style or song that would highlight the benefits of Forte vs Coyote WT. Again I'm using BIAB 2013, Creative Sound Card and a Logitech 5.1 speaker setup so I do have decent sound. I'm far from being any kind of an expert setting up BIAB so any ideas would be much appreciated. I have a Yamaha WX5 Wind Synth and VL70M Tone Generator running through the sound card and I just have the setup for puttering around and don't play professionally. I've been using BIAB for a long time but I just let it do it's thing and don't do a bunch of tweaking.

I was going to post a picture of the audio settings but I see there is no option to do that. MIDI input driver shows "no MIDI/sound input", MIDI output driver shows "no MIDI/sound output", Synthesizer/sound card shows "Coyote ForteDXi". Thanks for whatever help you can pass along.

Personally, I think that it all depends on which model of Logitech 5.1 speakers you are using. They have models like the X-530 that cost around $50.00 up to the Z906 for $350.00.

Clearly, the speaker system is a significant element in the sound reproduction chain and their capabilities will significantly influence the quality of sound output.

Although I own studio-quality near field monitors, I only use a set of Bose Companion 2 Series 2 computer speakers for BIAB purposes....which cost around $100.00. I think any price point less than that will simply not be able to capture and reproduce the sound information that could be produced from any given source.

Best,
