General Discussion / Sound card recommendation
I'm enjoying using NWC to compose my own tunes. However, reading these forums, it seems as if I could get my compositions to sound much better if I replaced my existing sound card with one which allowed me to use samples of real instruments by downloading soundfonts onto the new card. Could anyone please recommend a modestly priced sound card which will enable me to do this?
Also, is the process of obtaining and downloading soundfonts fairly painless?
Lastly, another reason I'm having to do this is because I've run into some problems having different percussion staves sharing the same channel (10). I'm hoping that I can get sound fonts which produce a drum or hi-hat voice (this will mean that I can use one of the regular 15 other channels for my drums/hi-hat). I'm also hoping that I can replace some of the voices I'm unlikely to use (like gunshot, applause) with these soundfonts. Is this likely, or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
TIA for any answers.
