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!
Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but it sounds like, from the 80's gear, you are into synth pop, that kind of thing?
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
