0 Re: [Band-in-a-Box] Re: Is there a good-sounding software alternative to a sound card?

 

My pleasure, Ian.
 
FWIW, there are a lot of great great softsynths out there, including some well-regarded free ones like Greenoaks Crystal. The problem is, as far as BIAB goes, that almost none paid or free are GM compatible.
 
Of course, what many do is to export the BIAB song as midi and use it with RealTracks or another DAW. A very, very good inexpensive but full-featured and innovative DAW is Reaper from Cockos Software. A full non-commercial license is only $60.00 and you download it on the 'honor system.' That means you get a full uncrippled and un-time limited 'demo' that is the paid version. How can you lose?
 
As far as good info on all things VST or VSTi ... including free softsynths and effects ... go to http://www.kvraudio.com/ Your life will love it!
 
Another good info source is www.musicradar.com.
