i wouldn't swap a 16 in/out 24bit/96k PC setup for a cassette based
multitracker though... ;-)

You obviously haven't got a Gadget Labs 8/24 running with Cakewalk Pro Audio
setup then. Many times I feel like dragging the old Fostex A8 out and
actually getting something recorded.

I jumped into PC based editing when the first versions of SAW and Cakewalk
came out. I ran them on a "top of the range" 486. Since then everytime I
upgrade my PC I tryout the latest soundcards etc. Spend all my spare cash
and then end up with a system that drops out at the most inappropriate
moments. I'm beginning to think that the machinery is casting a vote on my
talent.

I must say that Cooledit never gives me any problems, but I only use it on
stuff that's already been recorded.

I used to love my Tascam 244 Portastudio. It never ever gave me a blue
screen of death. :)
