Hi Bill thanks for that. I have just come back but i have hit a snag already. I dont have a good enough sound card on my computer .
I asked my brother to help me set this stuff up but he said the following
'Hi Worth,
The Soundblaster isn't good enough because of:
1) The latency when using softsynths because it doesn't have good enough ASIO drivers for it. (I had one when I first had a PC, then I upgraded to the card in the following link - This is a very good starter-pro sound card for what you want to do.)'
