Kieran,
The AWE64 should work fine. It's a widely supported MIDI interface.
The rule of thumb with ins and outs is: OUT goes to IN, and IN goes to OUT.
This makes sense as the signal coming OUT of the computer should go IN to the
Rm1x, and vice-versa.
Version 7 of Cakewalk is perhaps the most buggy of all it's incarnations. I
would advise you to scare up a copy of 6, which is waaay more stable, or jump
straight to version 9, which is the best release yet.
Peace,
Scott
