Naw boo i aint gonna get mad at u. *smilez* But anyways i mean da only way to really find out if it will work is to try both ways, software and hardware and then which eva one moves u then go wit it.
But let me tell u somethin sweetheart. Regardless what u choose software(the digital world) is gonna always come right back at u. B/c alot of us may use hardware but in da end we end up having software used in the setup some kind of way if it aint but for sample chopping. Also Protools is the thing most cats end up usin for da final product.
Moral of my story:Either route u choose u can still incorporate them both.
*kissess*

i personally love having both, a lot of people who dont understand the power of software will hate on u for using it (especially if its fruity loops haha) but personally i love using software to chop up samples, then tweak them to my liking, then lay them out with some hardware, and then still be able to go tweak them easily with software after that.

I agree about using both. It all comes down to what you are comfortable with and then learning everything you can about it. Once you get your workflow down it doesnt matter what you use.
**As far as long term investments go, the hardware will retain its value much better than software. you shouldnt be worried about the value of your equipment or anything. Just use what works. I started using software, went to using 2 drum machines and a sampler then back to software. Now I use a sampler with my software. I kinda went both directions and kept what I liked and combined all of the best (work flow of pc based stuff and raw sound of 12bit sampling<--- this is MY personal preference). Might take some trial and error before you really find what you like.
