for the same price i can get:

a yamaha a3000 v.2 (16Mb ram, 500Mb scsi drive, 10 outs)

OR

an akai s2000 (2Mb ram, Eb16 effects board, 10 outs) PLUS a new Behringer 1204a 12 channel mixer

yamaha obviously but does anyone disagree for some reason? anyone?

I would go for the yamaha. I have heard that the Akai has a very userunfriendly interface

I'm not sure if I would have gotten the Behringer mixer anyway, I am not very happy about mine because it's so noisy. It is a 8 channel one.

What about EXS or some other software sampler?

yeah, the akai has a little two line screen. but there's mesa. 2mb is pretty stingey, you'd need to pop that up if you got it. really depends on how you'd be using your smapler.

definitely going to up the ram...

do you mean to say the akai CAN measure up to the yammy in some ways (cant really see how)?

i was just gonna use it for loops but, i might as well have the extras (filters, fx, wav file compatibility)...i AM wary of the known yamaha bugs (knobs, hd disk crashes, etc) though...

"do you mean to say the akai CAN measure up to the yammy in some ways?" uh, no. for stuff like drum hits, it's adequate.

and the FX on the EB16 are really only bread and butter stuff...some cool distortion stuff, etc, but NOTHING like the crazy fx in the yamaha

filters are better in the yammy, too

like i said its seems an easy choice..but i have
to say im scared about the bugs in the yammy, the
akai seems to be rock solid...*crosses fingers and
checks wallet again*

I will say IF you have a wacking PC or Mac, then Kontakt mate.... you gotta hear it to beleive it... amazing!! - We're using the spanish guitar set at the moment to do some melodies for this CNN/NBC job and i swear you couldn't tell it's a sampler.
