I've got about a grand to spend and was (until recently) SOLD on a digi 001 system...
...8/8 BO box...software - what more do you need??
Then I heard about PC compatability issues (mine is borderline acceptable according to Digi). I heard about upgrades and non-XP / 2000 capabilities. Limited / expensive plug-in's for PC's compared to MAC...
Now I'm lost in a digital recording MESS.
This is what I need for a grand...
-Mostly audio recording capability
-Some good midi capability
-Good quality AD/DA converters
-Ease of use (relative)
What I'm considering...
- Delta 1010 combo'ed with eMagic Logic Gold
- Delta 1010 combo'ed with Cubase VST
- MOTU 828 w/ eM Gold / Cubase
- MOTU 1224 w/ eM Gold / Cubase
- Digi 001
Man I am confused. I tried to download a demo of the Logic Gold...not offered. I've used Cakewalk and find it easy. I tried Protools free and it crashed so I gave up (I don't think it's my PC I think the file was corrupt)
Things I like about what I know...
- The MOTU has the sound card built in and I like the semi-portability aspect of that. I hear the PT LE software is easy to use. I like the better track count and MIDI support from eMagic software... The eMagic software will support my current plugins I LIKE. (Direct X...I bought some pricy ones)
So - this is the question. Based on you're experiences and what I have said...
What would you recommend for a grand (give or take a few hundred)
All opinions based on usage / experience very much welcomed and appreciated!!

ps...My PC is a PIII 550MHz w/ 256meg SD Ram and a 10 gig hard drive (7200 / 66MHz) I will soon have to replace because it is too small...
