Yeah, I've had the same problems. It's even more annoying through
external speakers, and the sig/noise is pretty low, too. Maybe EA wants
us all to use midi instruments?
I could handle building my own interface, I guess, but I'm a
guitar player, and I don,t like any of the midi guitars around. Why
buy a midi keyboard that I can't play? If I had $ like that, I'd
get Virtual Memory and join ADPA, too.
