Hi I Think That With Your Benefi...
Its Better To Use Cubase Sx Pc Version It Will Increase Your Working Ability
Cause They Still Some Littel Errors In Cool Edit Interface Not Fixed Yet Also In Audition Version And It Is A Littel Loud In The Mix Down File That Make Your Sound Quality A Littel Down As You Really Hear

My view on this sorta thing has always been that a pc / mac system well set up will give you more options for you money. For example, i use a mac.G5, Logic 7, and a 10/10 firewire interface as my basic system. And theres very litle i cant do, (and im lucky to have the option on uploading my work to a HD24 drive and mixing on a digital desk). If i were to concider spending the same money on hardisk recorder and outboard gear id not get the options i have now, espetially in the editing world.

For being able to update and expand componets, defently go with a computer vs digital recorder. There will always be better software and plugins coming out, and the space you get on a computer is huge.

I think the small(ish) recording units add so much freedom. I have had all the PC stuff for years and never really did anything, then I bought a Zoom PS-04 (palmtop) size recorder and became inspired (not really hard disk of course). It allows me total flexibility to record, but I can then transfer to the PC for mixing and editing which is typically easier. The Zoom MRS8 is also great, both use different types of flash memory.
The major advantage to me of the zoom units is the virtual tracks. Though the PS04 can only playback 4 at once, it can record 40 per project. Which can then be sent to the PC for mixing.
It's been liberating for me.

I currently use both, the advantage is that the Yamaha AW 16G multi tracker is portable and I can dump the tracks into Adobe Audition if I want to really work on a track. The on board effects in my view are not as good as audition but it doesn't crash, I don't get mad with it because it doesn't have any nonsensical quirk that piss me off, however it would be nice if it had the ability to be able to plug in a qwerty keyboard to it so you could do fast short cuts on it, instead of laboriously trolling through menus to enable recording and so on and so forth. In short they both have their place it depends what you want to do with your recordings. I did hear that Stealy Dan used an AW 16G to record their last album, but I don't no for sure, I am sure some Stealy Dan fanatic could clue you in on that one.
