Cameron,
    I was told there was a specific sound card that needed to be used in 
conjunction with the interface, otherwise, there would be a delay. What sort 
of sound card is needed?

>>> Jorge, as you may know, SONAR 8.5 comes in 2 editions, either Producer

>>> 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

>>> The Producer edition of Sonar includes a software instrument called
