There are many other pluses as well. Learning compression by turning knobs will get u a lot further than reading about it on a forum and watching some type of graphical display on a vst, but whatevers. There are many paths up the mountain.
Even a new Electribe + monitors would be cheaper than DAW/Interface/Monitors? Some kind of groove box like that would pretty much let someone write a whole track if they got creative.

Rat bastard!
@Squarepusher quote: That is another reason to love hardware. For me at least, I never felt an obligation about like that about a software program (beyond my DAW). For whatever reason it's very easy for me to buy a piece of software and never learn much about it. Buy a new box, bet your ass I'll explore the shit out that thing.

I can confirm that after a certain amount of encouragment from myself, my friend has purchased the DSI Tempest. He should have it tomorrow...
I'm gonna sample the shit out of it as soon as he gets it...

Upload when you do?
I want a drum machine, got a few possibles. Don't know if I could justify parting with that much for the tempest at the moment, it does look amazing though!
EDIT: watching a few videos now, becoming much more justifiable...

And here we have a classic example of gear lust in action
Was it in this thread deadly talking about square? Really is a major bummer bringing new gear into your setup. With that said, still need a mixer and 4track reel to reel. Accepting donations in the bay area.

How many people use outboard gear such a comps/limiters or exciters? If so what do you have and what are your views?

It'll turn an otherwise pretty limited rompler drum machine into a glitchy dream.
I wouldn't exactly call it 'lust', but it's pretty exciting...
