No prob at all funaki....and mo yeah you're complicated but you're cool.
I'm working on a PC that I'm slowly but steadily rebuilding and a laptop
The new PC is going to have 3 hard drives: a 40 gig for my master and 2 80 gig slaves (one strictly for my beats and songs and one for my other misc. stuff)
I've got dual display right now but I'm debating on killing that and going with a widescreen LCD. All I do with the 2nd screen is have my mixer in Cubase there so it's not cluttering up my screen.
So aside from the 2 80 gig hard drives I'll buy, I'm also switching out the mb and cpu (and getting the LCD if I decide to) then I'll be straight for a while on the PC.
Edit: As for equipment, I use Reason 3 on both computers.
A M-Audio Oxygen8 for the laptop and then a Roland XP-10 with a Behringer mixer and amp (it's the Ultragain, not that IMP crap...I hate that), Behringer compressor, Cubase SX on the PC, and a BrandX condenser mic with pop filter.
Wishlist:
MPC 1000 - 2000 is too bulky for my desk space and the 1000 is cheaper and can do much of the same thing.
Triton Rack - I figure the rack would do me more good than the Extreme because I can sync it in with what I already have.
Korg d1200mkII. I don't know why I love this mixer so much but I just do....I think it'd help when and if I add console to my setup.
