Thanks guys - BTW, my hard drive is 7200.

However, I worry that the sound I eventually hear thru Sonar will not be the sound I would hear from the ES7 because I am assuming the laptop's soundcard would interpret the sounds and reproduce.

So, what do I need to do to get the exact sound from my ES7 onto a CD? Is this where the MLAN-16 device comes into play?

Thanks.
