RE: Yamaha_01V versus Event EZ_Buss
Just my thoughts, I have recently gone thru something similar to what you are trying to do now.
As to what to buy, the EZ bus or 01v. do you actually need either? If you are going to be recording vocals, live insruments then yes (and i'd definitely go for the 01v)
if you are doing more dance stuff (like me) then maybe you don't need anything other than a control surface and some good plug ins (waves) for eg)
In fact you dont really NEED the control surface, a mouse will do the job, I get on fine with it using cubase SX. depends on your budget. I'd probably be more inclined to spend more money on getting the fastest dual screen set up possible for my money. but that's my preference
I currently have a P4 2.4Ghz with 1 GB of RAMBUS RAM and I can run shed loads of vsti's and effects, in fact I hardly ever bounce down to audio unless I want to do some heavy processing on it. And I still haven't connected up by system link with my old machine, simply because I have enough power to do whatever with the 1 machine.
I would also recommend an RME card over the Gina, again my personal preference.
hope this helps.
