Hi
When using backing tracks,I am now using midi with the lead line muted. I play it through my laptop with SG50 softsynth,and into line in of my kb. The sound is fairly good but wondered if there might be a better way e.g. MP3 from a CD?
I am still considering Audigy and Echo soundcards,but midi is still midi. It is easier to work with,but how much quality am I giving up?

I would appreciate some advice from some of you pro's.

Thanks
Bernie
