Guys,

I recently purchased an ES7 and need would like the most efficient method of connecting the synth to my laptop. I've got a Dell Inspirion 9100, 3ghz, 1 gig ram.

I've also got Sonar4 installed, but when it loads, it can't find an acceptable sound card.

I'm a big newbie, so I need advice on the best direction to go. Should I get an external sound card, or should I go with the mlan16 expansion board? I've researched both, but I'm not sure if I'm mixing apples with oranges???

Basically, what's the easiest and/or best method to record from my synth to the Sonar4 application?

Thanks!
