I agree that the soundfonts are not as good as real instruments, but they are the closest I have got.. I am not completely happy with my singing on this but didn't think it was worth being too perfect against the background of cheesy soundfonts.. I may yet re-record it.. On the subject of Mics, does anyone think it is worth spending anything on a low-end microphone considering I will be recording in a room with echoing walls, and a not=so silent computer, into a cheap SBLive! card?? All the best, James
