Bad news all around. That system is/was capable of much more then it delivered.
That may be enough for you... maybe not.
For several hundred dollars you can get a standalone Tascam or Roland porta studio with a CD burner and have NONE of these headaches to deal with...J. 'Moose' Kahrs

Dude has a point: some sound stations with CD burner drives are cheaper and more easy to use / efficient than a computer, be it mac or PC.My Website || My MusicOriginally posted by US Declaration of Independence... are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights....

Re: Home recording, Mac vs. PC
I took a course on Cubase (Mac based). I absolutely hated it. The controls were incredible anti-intuitive because they did so much in the name of making it "user friendly". I'm loving cool edit pro though (Windows). It's very straight forward and transparent. Every engineer I've worked with has used Protools though.

IMO, it's hard to beat a good PC workstation with a high-end audio interface and fast hard disks. For an OS, I prefer Linux, but I don't expect everyone to jump on that boat anytime soon.
A Mac is similar to buying a pre-built PC from the local Circuit City. It's manufactured without any regard to what sort of applications it will be used for.
But for the love of god, do not buy a PC with Vista on it, to use as your DAW. If you do, you might as well kiss your performance goodbye.

Re: Home recording, Mac vs. PC
Well maybe this thing will make me go back to linux .... Will running Linux require less memory/hard drive resources?
So, basically if I want to do work from home, browse the net, and recod music using Lamda as interphase all on one machine its I am smoking crack? it aint possible?
what is DAW? duh !!! .... I love being retarded.Active Duty Rig:

Re: Home recording, Mac vs. PC
Well, for one... http://ardour.org
There's plenty of good software for Linux, if you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty exploring it. JACK Rack is nice for recording guitar tracks (tube amp emulation, distortions, overdrives, compressions, reverbs, parametric EQ's), Hydrogen for a drum machine, Ardour for general DAW work, Audacity for recording and wave editing, Rosegarden for composition and sequencing, etc. Most of this software can be connected together using JACK, a low-latency audio routing network.
For the adventurous, Linux has some very powerful tools. They're not all musician-friendly, but for tech-minded musicians, it's well worth the time and effort, IMO.
