So, alternately, you might just want to consider a completely new softsynth sound source. The VSC doesn't work on 64-bit operating systems.
The sound you are hearing is probably just the Microsoft WAVTable soundset, which will make sounds, but doesn't sound very good.Īround 2000, BIAB also implemented the VSC Sound Canvas, which may also be what you remember. The issue isn't the version of BIAB you are using, it's the sound source you are using. Then see if maybe it renders closer to what you remember. You might want to try using a soundfont enabled VSTi (such as SynthFont) and get a copy of the Creative SoundBlaster soundfonts, although there are other better non-Creative GM soundfonts I like better). Most folks I know immediately substituted the 2MB for the 8MB, since it sounded that much better. By default, it loaded with a 2MB soundfont, but it had a 4MB and an 8MB soundfont available. The SoundBlaster Live card used soundfonts to create its sounds. Also tell us what your Preferences, MIDI Driver, Output says. Tell us as much as you can about your system, especially whether or not you are using a software synth (VSTi or DXi). By your comments, I'm guessing you may be using the default Microsoft sounds for MIDI, which are horrible. Tell us more about what's important to you, and we can make more recommendations if needed. The newest versions of BIAB come with some VSTi software instruments. Now, with RealTracks (which are audio), this is less critical. What will you be doing? How many inputs?Īs you know, in 2000 BIAB was all MIDI and you needed a software or hardware synth. The main questions start when you want to record audio. Playback of audio is not all that critical any sound card will do, even the relatively awful Realtec unit in a laptop. Also make sure the unit has ASIO drivers. Check the software that comes with different brands you may make your decision more by that than by the hardware. I happen to be using the Focusrite Scarlett units (two computers one has a 18i8 and the other has a 6i6). There are certainly some great choices now for external sound cards.
I would be surprised if your older SB card would install now, at least in Windows 8.1.
