As much as I have tried to use a PC for writing music, I still keep going back to my Ataris.
Sure, they dont offer me any stupid cheats, like half the PC junk out there, but at least I know that my music is 100% my own.
Plus I need 11 Midi outputs, ( 16 * 11 Channels ) and to mix Digital and Analog, and I need Direct to Disk recording in one little box and the PCs dont give me that, my Ataris do.
