The Studio Switch, PC Musician moving to Mac Options

[trippinginthefal...]

In the next few days my first Apple will arrive:

867 single quicksilver
1.12G Ram
60g HD
Radeon 9000 pro
15" Apple LCD (till I can afford the 23)

I was hoping to move to Digital Performer 4 w/Peak 3.0(4.0 whens it out).

My studio consists of

Akai MPC2000xl controlling

Nord Lead Rack 2
Access Virus A
Emu Morpheus
Akai s5000

into Allen & Heath wz20s mixer
with TL Audio 5051 valve processor
and DeltaLab Effectron III
(also a low end reverb I am going to sell)

I have playing around with breaks and filtery analog and want to have a ton of control for the studio bits as well as a way to cut up bits to make my own loops. I have a lot of tracker experience.

Any advice on good software to get for sound design and MAS plugins, even Softsynths. Who knows...
