Futzing With Gear

Gear lust. I've been playing with a Dr. Sample SP-202 this evening (or morning, rather, seeing as it's 4:00 am), recording myself breathing in funny ways and then looping it while I tweak the delay knob. This is way too much fun.

Now I'm wondering whether I should put money toward my rainy-day fund (which is in dire need of a deposit or two), or invest in a PCI expansion chassis for my laptop so I can start building a portable hard-disk recording studio. I've got an associate or two with access to top-notch recording gear, of course, but I'm kind of eager to assemble my own private setup so I can futz around and learn the ropes myself. Debug the signal chain and all that. I've been feeling woefully inadequate on the geek front when it comes to music.
