I realize I don't need 500Gb of hard drive space now. I also realize that 2 CLEAN recording channels and a strong DAW (e.g. Lynx 2 soundcard + RME a/d convertor + Logic 5) is WAY smarter than upgrading the living daylight out of my PC.. and tracking into a 24-bit soundcard through my old analogue mixer.. and working with Logic 4.1).

Another option Im considering thanx to Napalm (also on GS) = Apple G4 double or G5 single + Logic 7 + good A/D convertor (like Presonus FireFox) and tracking directly into the MAC through firewire.

My feeling leans more towards a Strong PC + A/D + good soundcard tho. One thing I don't like about the MAC is that the plug-ins are RIDICULOUSLY expensive.. and that there's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more VST plug-ins, soft-synths etc. even for free (legally!). I don't work with huge, big studios constantly and even if I did.. that's no problem. Once tracked I can burn all .wav files and upload in anything anyway. Whatta u think?
