While I can see the simplicity of a unit like the Tascam, there are so many tools that are available to you in a computer that is not there in a stand alone system hence why it cost $45,000 to record, heck some of that could have been soaked up with BiaB and some cool RTs.

Imagine if you replaced about $20,000 of that how much quicker you break even or break into the black ink on a project.
