I bought an el-cheapo Awe64 (non-gold) on Ebay a few days ago thinking it would give me the best audio for ISA, to include digital and MIDI. Well now after reading some of these threads, it's become seemingly obvious the Awe64 is apparently at the bottom of the pile when it comes to decent MIDI.
Now, keep in mind i'm only used to SB16 midi synthesis (what is that, FM?), so I have no idea how the Awe64 will sound in comparison to it. I'm no audiophile, but I can certainly tell the difference between General Midi and SB16 midi when I play games in DosBox vs real DOS using the SB16. The DOSBOX in Windows sounds so much awesomer than the SB16.
So anyways, can someone tell me the cheapest and easiest solution to an ISA sound card in pure DOS? I don't mind purchasing a midi daughterboard if it will help that much, but I don't want to be spending more than a few dollars on these either!
