I'm hopefully looking forward to the day when one doesn't have to use multiple computers. I don't know, maybe I'm just trippin' out. [

I still use 1 computer but I also still run old Giga 2.5 along with the VSL Pro Edition (with the old Performance tool) and many other libraries-SISS, QLSO, SoV, etc... (I know I'm way behind the times), but the job still gets done although I admit I do run into 'droput' problems mostly due to running the new software libraries along with VSL (mostly QLSO), but I've still managed to still sell alot of stuff to stock music libraries for TV, commercials, radio, etc... (not trying to toot my own horn either, just true stories).
I still find use of older samples that aren't so heavy such as the old Roland strings, DR2, Ethno World, Xsample, etc...I guess it's just a matter of knowing how to use these samples with the right expression and tweaking out.
It would be cool if someone could make a one-in-all DAW that could handle V.I and other stuff altogether with no issues. For all I know it could be out there already.

ops: ).
Recent specs:
1.7 ghz P4, 1.5 gigs ram, one 40 gig hard drive for programs/apps and another 200 gig hard drive for samples, Windows 2000.
...Have to admit though, bouncing tracks saves my ass.
