Steve,
as per your advice, I did find several sets on eBay. I am watching them and will be making a move shortly. I can say this, they are all under $300 and would have retailed for $700 or $800. They all claim to be in excellent condition so we will find out. I can probably play an acoustic guitar in the basement studio without it being heard upstairs. So that will be an interesting test. I do have a Peavey amplifier with two cabinets that while it is 15 years old works fine. Of course that would be for the days when no one is home.
I’ve seen that Roland kit for sale and it looks quite impressive. There are several out there that would be nice to have but I believe that these that I am looking at will be ideal. When you say interfacing to the DAW, are you referring to direct input into my audio interface? My intent would be to go to the midi interface which is connected via USB to the computer. Currently I am only using one input on the midi interface.
