What about the wavetable one? I would probably recommend a SB 64 ISA AWE card. After I bought the SB 16 waveffects ISA, I found that everywhere I checked for info on how to config it they recommended the SB 64 ISA AWE. AFAICT, it has a wavetable built in and you cand expand its memory. With a slow computer like mine, you'll soon wish that the expansion hardware (like the soundcard) is fully capable of handling its own stuff. I'm able to play WAV files and the lousy MIDI that's built in. Beep, beep.. OK, so maybe you get what you pay for... :-) I've never tried recording with my sound card. Any views on recording with these card folks?
