Advice needed for the fairly techno-ignorant, installing BIAB 2009 on a Toshiba laptop which only has integrated sound on the motherboard. It does have Windows Vista op. sys., has the necessary RAM, processor and hard drive capacities. What's the best sound card and midi keyboard/controller? I've read in the forum about DXi vs. sound card, still am not sure if I need a sound card, or just DXi, or sound card AND DXi. From what I've read, writing chords and melodies from the laptop keyboard looks like a lot of work. I'd like to get a simple midi keyboard to "play in" (to BIAB) melodies and chords, not sure what's best. I will be using BIAB to (hopefully) mute out either the bass line or guitar line so that students can play along and learn their songs. I would really like a professional sound; a too "synthesizer-y" sound will drive me nuts. Any advice on the best sound card and midi keyboard / or midi "controller" would be wonderful.....thanks...
