DB>> the awe64 something or other wavetable with 4 megs of ram..
 GM> ram? i didn't know they had ram on them.. :)
 JC>  Yeah, they have ram to store your "soundfonts" (sounds created by you).
 JC>  I own a awe64 and comes with 512k, the gold version comes with 4mb.
I'm not sure what i'm going to be doing now, i want to start getting into 
multitrack recording, via Cubase VST, so i've been looking for a good card.. 
one i found (forget the name now, oh, 'Darla' by ?? ) that has 8 outputs and 
2 inputs, which can all be used simutenilously(sp) - Cubase supports this, 
you can have up to 8 submasters, and direct each to one of the ports..
basically that means you can record two separate tracks at the same time 
you're listening to 8 others (8 channels anyways, because you can play more 
than one track back (up to 32-digtial audio, plus a few hundred midi) i guess 
=) on a single channel). 
but that card only does digtal-sound, no midi.. so i'd need to find a midi 
card, or perhaps just use an AWE64 (and that way i can still use a regular 
sound card for games and other stuff =) ).
in fact, with that card, AND a regular sound card, i'd have 10 outputs (8 
from this card, plus two (left + right) from the awe64) and three or four 
inputs (2 on the card, then one mic, one line-in (which is stereo, so with a 
tiny bit of mixing could be two in itself, giving you 5.
plus i'd have midi.. ;)
