I do, but the sound card in this Compaq really blows.  I need to get one but 
I don't know which one I need.  I want to be able to do full-blown live 
instrument recording on it (at least 16-tracks), but I also want one  that's 
Soundblaster compatible since it seems to be the standard for games  and MP3 
players and whatnot.  I have no idea what to get.  I was never  interested in 
it until I got a computer that could handle it so now I'm playing catchup 
with the technology.

Crack??  What's a crack??  I don't know nothin' bout no pirate sites, Mr. FBI 
Man ;)
