Hi All,
Tim makes a very good point. Do you NOT see your needs growing? Perhaps not. If you are doing demo's of your own work and are happy with working 8 tracks, by all means keep doing it that way.
IF however,you see some limitations and/or see that you might need more tracks down the road or some editing, I would look into a DAW solution.There are some great deals on Computers these days.
I personally like both ways of working,{not that there are only two...}I love mixing on the big old boat of a console because I'm just so used to it and love how the gain stages sound. I also love composing in Cubase and really dig some of the editing and Comp plug's that one can use in a DAW.
Only you can answer whether or not you need to edit or have more tracks.
My final advise is, as always,, go buy a 2" machine and a big old space heater of a console..
