Bruddah, you are making it hard for me to follow robotchas' advice!

I just saw on MOTU's website that I can get Digital Performer for $395
list as an upgrade from a "competing product".  I'll ask my local
store about this - maybe they can offer a package deal on that plus
Unisyn.

If this is true, I can go ahead and use my Logic Audio Big Box/Delta
66 setup for multitrack audio recording until I'm ready, then go for
the competitive upgrade (some places have it for $300) and still use
my Delta 66).  Nothing against Logic - but with my Nords and XL-7, I
don't really care about "losing" Emagic/Apple's soft synths.
