It's easy. A complete budget home recording studio Like the Audient EVO Recording Bundle, has multiple components that require multiple accessories, cable connections and several layers of configuration. It's completely dependent on a PC connection. (Note in my comment above, if OM went on a cruise and carried nothing but his new Audient interface, he would have much musical recording success on his cruise.)

Configuring systems, optimizing systems, connecting systems and maintaining configurations, optimization, connections and avoiding former high end systems becoming obsolete with nothing more than a new OS release. An audio software like Pro-Tools can be very picky, cumbersome, and extremely difficult to master. It can be CPU hoggish and very irritating having to deal with subscriptions and dongles. The aggravation of updates that reset user personal settings over and over.

I'd guess you know these things but find the hassle to be worth it. The pros outweigh the cons for most people. Even though there's a high level of complexity, great results can be achieved. That's ok but this forum thread is directed toward those that want to focus on music and not tech stuff as OM pointed out.
