I have used this great piece of equiptment for quite a while. I was always reluctant to break into computer recording as the years went by. I have seen the progress and the problems. I recently purchased a 17" G4 laptop. I have always used Logic 4.8 for years. I have used the audio side of Logic just for repairs or processing. Then I fly th eparts back into the 2480. I will pick up Logic 7 and a 828 this week. Should I keep the 2480 as a back up or make it part of the system???
