I chose the Command Station because after years of messing with software I find a well-
designed hardware sequencer much more conducive to creativity. Software sequencers 
have their place (namely, editing), but by and large they're little more than glorified tape 
recorders. As nice as a 30" Cinema Display might be, music is about what you hear, not 
what you see, and a mouse, even a multi-button mouse, is still no match for dedicated 
hardware controllers.

There's a reason why big Hollywood studios (film or music) still use massive mixing 
consoles alongside their ProTools rigs, and it's not nostalgia.
