Cameron,
    That's right! I remember now that it was Kevin. So, what about the sound

card question?

>> Jorge, as you may know, SONAR 8.5 comes in 2 editions, either Producer
>> edition or Studio edition.  Here's a summary of what you will need to
>> consider:
>>
>> To use SONAR, you need the following types of equipment:
>>
>> 1. Appropriate computer for recording music.
>> 2. A device called an audio interface that is used to route sound in to,
>> and
>> out of, the computer.
>> 3. A MIDI controller keyboard, used for triggering instrument sounds that
>> will be produced by the computer.
>> 4. The Cakewalk Sonar recording software.
>> 5. A compatible version of the Jaws screen reader.
>> 6. The CakeTalking scripts and tutorial.
>>
>> Sonar is available in either a Studio or Producer edition. Both editions
>> are
>> the same functionally, however the producer edition includes additional
>> software instruments and effects that are not available in the Studio
>> edition. Some sighted people will purchase the Studio edition to get the
>> basics of Sonar, and then buy instruments and effects that are produced 
>> by
>> other companies. However, we suggest that blind people purchase the
>> Producer
>> edition of Sonar, as the instruments and effects that are included with 
>> it
>> are accessible, where as most 3rd party instruments and effects are not.
>>
>> The Producer edition of Sonar includes a software instrument called
>> Dimension Pro. There are additional sound packs for Dimension Pro that 
>> can
>> be used to add instrument sounds to Dimension Pro. One of these 
>> expansions
>> provides a huge number of world instruments. Many Asian wind instruments
>> are
>> included in that expansion. If you purchased Sonar Producer as part of
>> your
>> package, we could also provide you with the appropriate expansion pack 
>> for
>> Dimension Pro in order to assure that you'd have the instrument sounds
>> that
>> you require.

>> Hi all:

>>
>> Not versions, but more like eddition, E.G. comparing Sonar Producer to
>> other
