Home Recording Studio

[punkin]

I'm trying to put together an entry level recording setup. I've got a decent digital multitracker/sequencer and a drum/rhythm machine. I am attempting to use my Toshiba Satellite Laptop for laying down background MIDI tracks. My problem is that when I play back through the laptop audio out, the audio quality is very poor and completely unacceptable. Is this asking too much of a laptop or is there and easier way to do this?


Thanks

How fast is the processor in your laptop.
How much ram etc.
What kind of soundcard are you using. Laptops generally don't have a good audio output so you need to incorporate a usb device. Something like what tascam makes or M Audio would be good. There are a number of good entry level usb devices available.
