    Hi,
    I'm a nubie to sound editing programs & am using Vista.

    I want to use Cakewalk Home studio to record and edit music from live & virtual instruments. However, after the install, it wants a midi output device to playback.

    Do I have to use a keyboard midi or can I just output thru my speakers and use a midi application?

    Thanks!

    you should be able to use a soft synth in cakewalk to get sound on through your speakers

    I don't mean to be dumb but how do you do that? How can I get a midi driver installed without having the attached hardware and have Vista recognize it?

    I have Vista 64 and am findng out that there aren't a lot of drivers for 64 bit computers.
