I just bought a laptop + reaper and a midi keyboard.. Having problem with sound card I believe, records the music can't play with asio driver.
Only it plays with direct sound card which is already installed in the computer. Sometimes it comes out as mono... Can't play midi outside the reaper... Any help please...

You haven't given any idea of budget, but the sort of audio interface you could look at around £100 or just over is the Presonus AudioBox USB. It's about the best of the ones in that price bracket that has both MIDI I/O and DI inputs for guitars, but although it has 2-channel monitor output, it does not have a headphone driver. Digital Village are currently selling it as B-stock for about £93.

Which Korg Wavestation model do you have?

First of all, midi is NOT audio. It's data. You need a VST or synth playing the sound. This is why there is no sound when Reaper is closed. In Reaper, record your parts then export to Audio.

In regards to an audio interface and since you are a guitarist, consider one of the interfaces by Line 6. The UX1 is cheap and has amp emulation software included.
