ahh sorry - yeh pretty pricey setup!yikes, supposed to be the best hardware a/d converters available some say with their propietry stuff
anyway GB is freakin awesome, to me at least being the only DAW i have anything to do with really, cept my old roland vs 880 i had years ago, but that was basic compared to even this era's free computer stuff!
EDIT: only problem i can really see with GB is that its too CPU hungry, with all that no brainer GUI interface bloating out, so you do need something stronger/leaner
i hear the PC guys are very jealous of GB, and are waiting patently for it to come out on PC - which it apparently is? i think
have yet to get any plug ins mate - looked into a drum one a bit one time - i'll get there ill have to check the ones you mentioned out thanks!
i like physically playing the drums in built up layers, till it sounds like a full kit, on a midi controller anyway, loops are better in some instances i for sure, i love the loops ive heard so far!
in the old days i programmed a few drum machines for a 100 song rep small act i was in a decade or so ago, being a bass player at the time, had to decipher the cover songs and convert to a written homemade format, then laboriously tap the individual parts in, learnt a lot about playing drums very quickly, but thats how much i disliked drummers by this time, i did it out of spite
just need to be of the human strain - but i have always had a softspot for the mainstream crossover act chem bros, and some others. But they have never done anything as good as 'dig your own hole' from the 90's IMO. i liked 'push the button' last album before this.
