Hi,
I don't have expensive music software or an orchestra at my disposal, so I
was thinking that I needed to go with the lowest common denominator, which
would be whatever sound card someone might have on board. Am I thinking
correctly? Some game music does sound pretty cheesy. And, this is a first
effort, so I didn't want to have to learn everything at once.
Thanks.

hey Jim, there is, or is, a Microsoft media control in VB, and I think its
available in C#, but for all you wish to do I think direct x is the way you
want to go, and MS has a nice sdk with examples and all that you should
need
ready to download.
I'm sure that there are many others you can use, but DX seems to satisfy
all
who have needed it to my knowledge.
and to modify and or generate sound yes you will need something, gold wave
should be able to satisfy your needs, though I would go with either .wav or
.ogg files instead of midi's, they sound so flatly artificial
