Sunny,

Much of the sound quality coming from your recordings will depend on the equipment between you and the PC, and very little of it will be determined by the PC's sound card. Most of today's onboard sound cards range from good to excellent in quality, and over just the past two years they have improved dramatically.

If you are using a high quality mic, mixer, cables, and working in a noise-free environment, you should have no trouble achieving excellent results using the equipment you described. Keep in mind those CDs will lilkely be played by individuals driving along in their cars, or at best, sitting at home doing something else while listening to your music. You are using excellent software, therefore, there is no reason that you will not end up with a great final product.

Good Luck,

Gary
