Customer Review: very good, solid, budget keyboard
I’m a digital music noob and have been putting together a modest setup on my Dell laptop running Windows Vista. I’ll tell ya it hasn’t been easy. Drivers that don’t work, programs that won’t register and are incompatible with each other, sound cards that are also inadequate, audio interfaces that have bad drivers and won’t work with anything else, oh my, it’s been some hard lessons learned and there are lots of regrets along the way. But my one component that has been hassle free and has worked to my expectations right out of the box is my M-Audio keyboard.
