In my case since im not going to do any gigging, I really think that the PC software arranger is going to be the way to go..
I sold my trinity and built my pc. Now I think I have good specs.. The only thing is that many of the current programs run on XP only.
I have an ASIO 2.0 soundcard called the Korg Oasys PCI. I like it, but it only works in Windows 98SE or ME. Not XP. And I thought it would be better to get somehting more updated and be able to use OMB and a controller keyboard. But I just cant make up my mind.
I think the best thing to do, is order an XG soundcard for now, a cheap one and go from there. Then if I can get the hang of everything, then I may do the upgrade to XP.

Guys, a question, if say I get an XG soundcard, will the output of the XG soundcard have to go to an input of my other soundcard? Or can this be done internally with cubase?
