Yes, I have Cool Edit which does that pretty well, but it's tedious... Ableton Live, now, is something I really have to have a look at. People keep suggesting it!



Well, not really. You can have a listen at some first demos (really basic stuff) at MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/generalerrorberlin

I think I will not have any definitive direction. I just like experimenting with sounds, I like hypnotic slow stuff ("Dark Dub" is a good example; it's just an unedited live session that still I need to sequence a bit), and I like trashy synth pop too -- as documented on "Die E-Mail", a free German interpetation of that old Box Tops hit "The Letter" --, and I also like completely broken and weird "drone" noise with no recognizable structure. So it will be hard to for you to recommend a suitable machine, I guess.

But anyway, I already got lots of info that I'll have to check. But in the end, I'd definitively prefer some non-computer version, as I already have a full-time software programmer job, and another digging out interesting old stuff on Ebay
