I fill for you SBoy, Check the warrenty all your products. This is the only way it pays to be new to the game. I always sample through my vcr if I'm doing something like that, glad you told me, cause I got cable on demand and one day I just might have done something stupid to blow up my stuff, thankx for walking threw the mine field before me. I'll give you some links to a real good free soft synth if it will help you any. hit me a PM
