Poor Butterfly

Hi Ralph,
I should have used the phrase "with my system." I have the Audigy 2 sound card, with which I have and still have problems, e.g., hardware synths A and B if used together produce a blue screen. I have to have so many resource hogging programs running during the day, that I won't be able to give you specific measures where I made the change until tonight. But I can say that when I had MS Wavetable active, the same piece in that sounded a lot different than it did with the Merlin fonts, and the greatest differences were in the winds, which sounded like toy instruments, and drums, which were too loud using defaults. My conclusion: to get as close to the sound you want, record it and save it as an audio file. I always keep a raw .wav file, but usually save as an mp3 for uploading, usually to soundclick.
all best,
mgj
