Record & Output Simultaneously?

[ssmacc]

Hello All,

Firstly forgive my lack of sound knowledge

I have a PC which I use with my Electric Drum Kit (Roland TD12), until recently I have only used the PC as a glorified MP3 player (play along to drumless tracks). However, I’ve recently bought Superior Drummer 2.0 and trigger this over a Midi-USB converter, this works very well, with Superior Drummer running I can hear high quality drum sounds triggered from the TD12. The problem is I cannot play MP3’s from my PC and have Superior Drummer working at the same time, is this normal?

I’ve got a ASUS DS sound card (although I’m not at home it could be a DG!)

Thanks,

Stand alone (at the moment)

Thanks, this is my first dabble into the word of Audio so I’m a little behind the curve to say the least, I’ll do some research, in the meantime what audio card would you suggest?

Any advice appreciated!

It's just for recording me playing the V Drums with a drumless MP3 track (just for fun), your suggestions (while appreciated) are very much overkill for me. I'm actually going to build a new PC for the drums soon and am going to get a new sound card, but the budget will be ~£100 unless you can convince me more would be worth it in my situation, that said most sound cards I see tend to be for gaming, what would you suggest?

Cheers
