I moved from a 1/2" 8-track system to a PC based system about 1 year
ago. It took a while to get the hardware tweaked and I'm still
wrapping my head around the software but I'd say it's been pretty
positive. There are certainly mainy upsides eg. plugins, cost,
upgrade ability. Downsides are there too eg. spending even MORE time
staring into an X-ray gun...
My main word of advice is do your homework and research
software/hardware compatibility before you commit. Certainly with PCs
there are BIG issues regarding processors and chipsets.
Good Luck.
Richard.
