after I killed my 8tracks HD I needed to improvise, which sucked at first time, but is okay now. I am even too lazy to buy a new HD for it, cause it works without it. limitations often enhance your creative thinkin. but sometimes they suck of course.
so my advice, think first what you are going to do before buying new equipment (I am faster with buying if I got money, then its necessary...). will you record a lot of sources at the same time or will you layer your sounds?
btw here my last two recent tunes:

would like to hear every opinion who likes to tune in

(nic already said me what he thinks, thanks again)
yesterday I dressed myself as a douchebag at a H&M store to take pics of it...unbelievably embarissing, but funny as fuck. highly recommend this if you are bored

pics will follow
