Sound generators with BIAB?

Todd Weger · From: Safety Harbor, FLAUSA

I'm thinking of buying the 2005 version of BIAB from the company, but I really hate the way the instruments sound with my computer's sound card. I listened to some of the streaming examples they have on their site, and the Edirol SD-20 Studio Canvas sounds the most natural to me, but it's another $279 for the hardware.

Are there other sound card options, or do most of you run the signal to a digital keyboard to listen to your tracks?

What I'd like to do is produce a CD or mini-disc of "minus-ones" (tracks without steel) for popping in the AUX input in my MicroCube, and be able to practice with an ensemble literally anywhere with my steel. Is this easy to do with the BIAB? Could I make minus-ones in MP3 format, and use an iPod?

This would be great, but I just have to find sounds that are better than the Cheeez-Whizz that's in my PC now.

Mahalo,

I'm also interested to hear what others use. The Roland VSC-3 sound synth came with my copy of BIAB. It is a welcome relief from the basic BIAB sound but still is not very convincing.It is especially unrealistic in the guitar area.

Let's move this to Computers from No Peddlers. I'm interested in the responses as well, but I think more people will respond to this in the proper area.
