Pros: Realistic instrumentals, tweaking is easy and compatible with most all applications.
Cons: Some MIDI sounds are choppy at times but only for a second or two.

Win XP and the SW1000XG? (Reply to this comment)
by KAR120C
Is the SW1000XG compatable with WinXP? I have heard that there are no drivers for XP. Have you tied the card with XP?

I was a little confused by the fact that under "Recommended" at the top of your opinion it says "NO". Quite a number of kudos in the review for something on your not recommended list. Then I took a look at how the opinion was categorized. You might want to edit that NO out, as it can be rather confusing. Good review. I'm playing around with mixing sound myself, and this sounds like something to have.

I have to say this. The card makes a midi sound "almost" like I popped a CD in my Bose.

Not bad!

I would kill to get a soundcard like that for such a ludicrous deal.

You are graced by Lady Luck.

Seriously.. I bet a sexy chunk of soundcard such as that Yamaha would make MIDIs sound like gold.

VH. Good review. Gives me something to check out further.

LOL....naw..
I have a brother that is really into producing his own music and I am thinking about giving it to him. He could get much more from it that I.

But it is a great idea!

You got a $500 card for $80. You could probably sell it on e-bay if it's not doing much for you.
