K…music stuff. So I went through this whole ordeal when I blew up my soundcard awhile back. I bought a new one of course and had nothing but problem after problem installing it in my old computer AND the new one I got. First of all Creative Labs lie..period. The chips ARE NOT the same. Secondly their drivers are bloated and suck ass. Having said that I ended up using some third party drivers for the card which for the most part kicked ass. The problem was synching Audio with MIDI in Sonar. HUGE problem. I downloaded the updates the other day hoping that issue had been addressed…no such luck. So considering this is a BIG problem in terms of new StykFaktor music or Vision’s music, I hold my breath and try the Creative drivers again for the 10th time. I have no idea what the hell happened but this time they worked. I think they were updated since the last time I tried them, but after running new and old sequences in Sonar only one had a problem which I think can be fixed with some instrument tweaking. Just once I would like shit to work the way it’s supposed to. The third party drivers MIDI implementation blows Creative away, however the Audio synchs like it’s supposed to with the Creative drivers….*throws hands in air*. So for now I’m sticking with Creative drivers which seem to be working. So it’s on to new material after the holidays.

I swear this was easier when all I had to do was sing or plug in a guitar…

Oh I’m still entertaining the idea of an acoustic set….why?…because I can.
