Get a flat screen LCD and reduce your worries to Carpal Tunnel and a stiff neck. HA! I love my Hard Disk recording set up and wouldn't go back for the world now that I understand what it can do for me and my music. I use Sonic Foundry Acid and Sound Forge along with Cubase for MIDI in a 866 MHz PC with an Aardvark Q10 sound card and everything runs smooth and I can float up to 50 stereo tracks with 512 mB of RAM. MOTM sounds way better sampled into my computer due to the extremely lower noise level of the soundcard. Fun stuff and the best decision I have ever made with my studio. I only wish my $1200 sampler wasn't now reduced to $450 on EBAY. Sell em while you can,

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.
