It's not so much the "quality" of sampled instruments
- it's the sound - the timbre..

A lot of people were very happy with the wavetable
sounds in the SBLive cards and the Audigy.....

Your Soundblaster record panel should have "What-u-Hear"
and this is a very, very useful thing

You should be able to run a DAW app like sonar, cubase,
or whatever, and use your soundblaster's internal wavetable
to provide all the sounds Just load any midi file and point
the output channels to the sounds you want... piano / drums/
flute......

Then open a sound recorder like audacity (free) and set
the record input to "what-u-hear"

Then... click "record" in audacity and then click "play"
in cubase/sonar...

I've made this work (a long time ago) for a lot of colleagues
who were either composing or arranging stuff for a band

Creative labs cards did have their uses....

Let me know if this system works for you... The end-product
wav file will be independent of your speakers/card/etc so you
can burn it onto a CD and see what the living room Hi-Fi thinks
of it...

Good Luck!

thanks for the info

all stuff to consider where to spend my rapidly diminishing savings
