It's not a hardware VS software thing for me though. I do good with what i got.

It's just something subliminal about it, that's been calling me. The appeal of being able to create on the fly, and not be limited by CPU power (as far as i know).

I'd like to hear any success stories. And what was the rough time/learning curve you had to get your productions cross-over back to par

Like 7 years ago aswell I was starting out with FL. A few month later I got me a MPC1000 + Korg Microkorg and became almost happy. Until the MPC kept crashing and crashing I got mad on how much it limited me. Next came Cubase & Logic on PC...and a few years later...taaaa taaa...the real deal:

Mac pro + Logic 8
Now I'm satisfyed....

MPC is still here, but I wouldn't go back to anything besides my mac. Nothing can be more frustrating than CPU based stutter FX
