...i have steadfastly resisted all advice to upgrade from my portastudio (tascam 2488) to a computer based studio, which would involve a computer, monitor, keyboard, 24-track mixer PLUS decent mic preamps PLUS decent compressors PLUS all the neccessary cables, connectors, interfaces etc etc etc etc.
not to mention the cost and the learning curve. i spend forty hours per week at a day job. when i'm making music, i need to be able to simply hit a red button when its time to record (once the levels are set). i have no need for editing suites, nor programming, configuring and so on.
however, if the technology has progressed to the point where a computer, a 24-track mixer and a firewire cable (along with the neccessary software) are ALL that is needed, the time may be right for a guy like me, assuming that the learning curve is minimal and the plug-and-play process is completely straightforward.
am i on the right track?
