I've never had a good analog setup. All my stuff is digital.
My setup is an 850MHz Pentium II with 512M ram. Two scsi hard drives, scsi CD reader, scsi writer. Motu 2408 MkII digital IO.
It's a good setup, but I paid big bucks to have it built for me by a company called Wavedigital. Knowing what I know now I would build it myself. I got it a year ago.
I run Cakewalks Sonar XL. It works good. I like it, but I'm having a problem slaving multiple midi devices to it. Currently Sonar only lets you drive the midi sync clock out through one port. I have
a midisport 4x4, so each of my midi devices gets its own port, with 16 channels each.
Computer or dedicated system. I, personally like using the computer as my audio workstation, but there are plus's and minus's to both. WIth a dedicated system you don't ahve to worry about dropout. But a computer is much more versital.
If you want to go midi, I would suggest a computer. But I'm pretty new to midi.
