BlankDo you think the problem is the Edirol FA66 then? That's the soundcard I'm 
currently using.

  I wouldn't have thought so.  They are nice mixers and the sound that you 
track with, should have a bit of warmth to it, as your using an analog mixer.

    I have an alan and heath mix wizard 3, which has gotten pretty high 
reviews. I'm just wondering though if you actually lose a bit of quality when 
converting midi of an external synth to audio, as opposed to when just bouncing 
or freezing a vst synth?

      Yes.  Mind you, I don't know which mixer you have so, can't comment on 
whether it has excellent pree-amps or, not.

        Phil, when you say pre amps, do you mean external ones besides the 
actual ones within the mixer that I am using?

        Thanks.

          Hmm, maybe as your keeping all of your software synthes/samples 
internal to Sonar.  On the other hand, if you had some really hi end pree-amps 
that you could use with your hardware then, you would find that your hardware 
would sound fatter and have more detail too!

            Hello,

            I notice when I use vsts, or samples via the sfz in sonar, I 
actually get fatter, warmer, and louder recordings than when using tracks from 
an external synth like the motif. Is this generally the case, or am I imagining 
things here.
