My new neighbor just gave me this new toy
http://www.humbuckermusic.com/kod1mkdirein.html that he has had in a box for a couple of years. It is a Korg D1200 MKII Digital Recording Studio. He plugged it in once and got in way over his head. He asked me if I could use something like it and I said "Uh... hell yeah". Here are the specs..
High-performance balanced pre-amps with separate 3-band EQ on all analog ins, 96 tracks, 16-channel 4-bus mixer section, 16- and 24-bit record/playback, 12-track simultaneous playback, 4-track simultaneous record, and amazing effects with REMS modeling make it the most powerful digital recorder ever at this price! Sophisticated editing with copy, insert, swap, and delete functions plus 192 preset and 192 user effects programs with 98 effect algorithms. Onboard 16X CDRW burner. 40GB hard drive holds 122 track hours at 16-bit resolution, 61 track hours at 24-bit. 2GB are allocated as a USB drive for direct computer connections. Internal metronome with 215 rhythm patterns. Full MIDI functionality, and much, much more!

Needless to say, I am a kid in a candy store and will ignore the house burning down around me as I go through pushing all the buttons, finding all the menus, twisting all the knobs and generally having a techno nerdgasm...
