rharv and Mac . . .this is the last question I'll bug you about, promise. So in this new computer I'm having built just for music I'm going to have Windows 7 installed,e tc., etc. Only decision left is which sound card to install. I really want a card with the midi in,out, & thru built in. My builder advises me to find out what sound card(s) Microsoft used when developing Windows 7. Can you or would you please advise me on a sound card that has the midi jacks built in and "works" well with Windows 7?
