Full hardware solution

Hello,

I try to remove my laptop from my workflow.
I use it to

  1. control and sequence the midi of some synths.
  2. add effects
  3. Mix and record.

I will get a monomachine that will take care of 1.
For 2-3 i guess a mixtable and a recorder? Or a multitrack?
Any gear that you would recommand?

Any advice is welcome. Thx.

Octatrack will do all the above except recording. And if you only need record 5 minutes at a time, it can even do that.
