Hey there guys.

Difficult to get any info on this stuff without joining a forum - so here I are! My name is Edwin..

I just bought an Edirol PCR-800 for Aus $550 and can just about get it going on my desktop with a motherboard-integrated soundcard. It barely works with the bundled cakewalk on my Dell lappy.

Any leads as to how to get it happening soundcard 'n' software-wise? I'm interested in;

1. Learning to play piano and
2. Writing classical music

It came with Cakewalk LE (which seems a bit childish?). I've tried a demo of Live5 and think that's a bit too "house-y" for my liking - although I do like the synth / FX sounds embedded in it. And that one that writes musical notation seems unweildly!
