I'll definitely have to talk to him. He's about 6+ hours away. I think he'll be cool about it.
if not....I'm not gonna freak out.
I just figure I'll write better songs anyway. the more I write...the better i get at it...so it's not the end of the world if he keeps those songs.
also....the song I probably like the most is backed up on his external harddrive...which he left here.
based on your recommendations, i have put together the following from
http://www.adkproaudio.com. I plan to buy from them.

On most of our songs we were running 40+vst fx 25+vsti and 30 tracks.
can the above system handle that? I'm wondering...do I need a dual Opteron...or will this be fast enough? Do i really NEED a dualcore processor?
We were using the RmE digi9652. I already own an EMU1212m, but the RME is probably more stable. I need stability and LOW latency.
at the most I'll probably only track 2 things at once....so I just need the DAW to be powerful and quiet(Normally we keep the computer in the room we track in).
Any suggestions are welcome.
