damn, man. why you always gotta be argumentative. ;) it's not really when it comes down to it. FS has its own audio interface that you -have- to use to use the program, ms.pinky allows you the ability to pick and choose what you're working with, other then that the only extra piece of gear is the phono preamps which are pretty tiny. if you're not looking to do any expanded things with the software then FS is a good way to go, nothing wrong with that. but if you're into a program that is A. only $100, and B. will continually expand and offer new things, then ms.pinky is the way to go. my friends who use final scratch are always complaining about how they won't release the code and therefore the only expansions to the software are the ones that the company introduces, and i guess they're not really, i could be wrong, where alternately with ms.pinky any nerd with an idea can contribute to the project. i think that sort of thing is important. and the designer is very accessible and friendly and is constantly doing things to the program to improve it.
