I just got into it recently, as you can tell by the posts I've made. I think it's a great tool to run in tandem with the 4k. It's opening my eyes to lots of possibilities that may have been simply too time consuming before hand. I wouldn't say Recycle is a necissary. The 4k is meant to stand alone, but you can certainly appreciate the power that the Ak.sys interface gives to 4k users. I've heard that Peak is good also but I haven't used it. If you use a PC there are a few other programs that work similarly to recycle that are supposed to be off the hook, I believe Wavelab, Soundforge, ect..check the previous posts for more info. I couldn't get into those programs because I'm working on Macs but I would definately tell you to look into software waveform editing as a companion to your 4k. These are very powerful tools.
