As we all know the difference was mostly in the harmonic distortion that analog circuits and tape added to the recording .
In the digital world we have two phrases that are bantered about transparent and coloured.
Coloured might also be called warmth or even analog mojo!
There’s the snake oil.
Hopefully by design your digital signal path is transparent and your audio recoding will be un-coloured.
The only thing that would add true colour is the pre amp of your audio interface. As everything before the A/D converter can be high quality analog, This is the best way to achieve great analog sound. Hardware that is before the A/D. This is why your choice of an audio interface is so important.
So this is also part of the answer to your question. Why make digital emulation of this hardware?
Most people seem to think that they are missing out on something using digital so they seek out that analog warmth using digital software emulation. All the digital stuff can do is attempt to add harmonic content to the sound. It is doomed to fall short of the mark because analog is infinite and digital will always be a block of numbers at the mercy of your computers processing power.Can you recommend a decent interface with a good pre amp? Thanks

Thanks, it's fun playing around with old midi files.

Yes, after carefully re-reading your solution and following the directions it does work that way. Fist against open palm and a bow to you Master Scook, thank you

Thanks Scook, 'edit/preferences /midi/device' only lists the Microsoft GS Wavetable. With that checked it plays sound. With it unchecked it doesn't play sounds. Even when starting new blank project and importing midi file. TTS-1 doesn't load. The grayed out driver is mme. I'm not using an interface. I'm searching the manual but it seems to be cleverly hidden at the moment. lol

I found it, I checked the midi output box in preferences. Thank me

A long time user since Pro Audio, yet all of a sudden I feel like a newbie. I dug out some old-old midi song files and dragged them into CWBL current version. The tracks all fill out, push play and the meters move but no sound. Close it then try the same thing with Sonar Platinum and it plays with the proper sounds. Also works properly in Reason 11 and several other DAW's I have. I did a quick search for 'import midi file' in the CWBL reference manual but... Anyone know where to look for this problem/solution? Thanks

Harrison Mixbus 32C 10 is a decent alternative.
