This is a very interesting thread. I am a mac user, but I also use pc. My first mac was a 512e, which didn't even have a hard disk.
I bought macs that lasted years and years. I was just lucky, cause I also saw macs that lasted 6 months until they were discontinued... anyone remember the LCIII, or those Centris 610? Lucky me I didn't buy them (just lucky).
I know have a G4, and it feels pretty powerful, although when I hear you guys talk about dual processors and gigahertz speeds I have a little envy, that's for suere.
But these days I found that I am pretty satisfied with my current recording environment, and I feel like I don't need more. I have 24 tracks with real time plugins, and a sampler, and that's enough for me these days. And I really mean it now. Whenever I download a demo of some new hot plugin, I think "this is great, but I could really live without having it".
When I started making music I used a program called Studio Session, that had 6 MONO tracks of sampled sounds, It couldn't record anything and it runned at 22 khz (I don't know bit depth). At that time I was pretty satisfied with it until I wanted to record vocals.
My point is, the need for recording software and hardware should stop right now, cause I think that current technology gives you enough possibilities to make great records. I think that all the new plugs and stuff improves your situation only in a very marginal way.
New and exciting things will appear and then we will upgrade again. BTW, I hope one of those things will be a couple of good songs.
Cheers, Andrés
