Jean,
You're using the VSTi and the Coyote WT synth, which is the same thing as the Windows General MIDI stuff, it's poor reproduction, and you can buy the best DAC out there, and it'll still sound like crap, because it is, in fact, crap sounds.

There are several free VSTi SoundFont player. However, I found Plouge's Szforzando, which is a really nice player, since it can use multiple format styles.

I would download this, and then start looking for Free SoundFont libraries, and some of them are pretty darned impressive.

So, here's a couple of samples for you to think about. This is just the chord progression for Begin the Beguine, no melody.

With the Coyote WT Synth

This is with the Szforzando Player.

There are tons of Free Sound Fonts

Hammer Sound

Synthfonts has links.

Ntonyx has individual sounds.

And let me say something, with the Sfzorzando player, you can put different sound fonts for each instrument.

Look here, too! Some pretty impressive ones.

Anyway, I would say the Sfzorzando Player would be your best bet, and then convert everything to two track wave file and play that way.
By the way, look for those Sound Font and SFZ format libraries, there's some pretty amazing stuff out there.

But, I will warn you. I will recommend that you do all the recording at home, and create either .wav, .wma, and high quality .mp3 files, because you have to load in new sound fonts for every song, unless you get a default multi-timbral software synth, and I don't think you're going to be happy with it.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
