yeah.. next time pay attention!

LOL... nah, but AMS is the best site... Only thing, is that they do a hard pull credit check.

If you plan on buying a house or something like that in the future, be careful of using AMS more than twice in a year....

I may have to wait because the bill would be like $520/month and my credit limit is $500 even for 3 more months. Damn 6 months. I may have to pay it all up front thru Sam Ash with the price quote they gave me. It will be about 1 more month though.

Good luck with your purchases. I hope you enjoy the MPC5K.

Personally, I am about to do a complete make over of my home studio. Practically everything is going with the exception of the 5K and Fantom G.

yeah they do, and its a hard pull too!

Meaning, it shows up on your credit report and stays there for two years..

too many hardpulls will lower your credit score. Know what you wanna get and try to get it all in one shot...

I got rid of alot of things before I moved to Japan. Now I am getting rid of my digital mixers, studio monitors, and switching software platforms.

After using Nuendo 1-4 during the past 6 years, I am going to make the move to a Pro Tools LE using the 003 rack interfaces. Feature-wise, I am losing alot by making this move. But since I don't use all the features in Nuendo, Pro Tools LE will do me just fine. If I like it well enough, I may invest in a HD system down the line.
