Yeah - I have no idea what is better - computer or sampler.
One big issue for me though is that whatever I sample, it will be connected
to a Master Clock because other members in the band will use live samplers
too.
I am also wondering what the new AKAI Z8 can do. I like the fact that it 
has
8 outs, so you can mix yourself while playing. So no overdubbing...
One other thing - is there actually a way to get the time (bpm) of a 
drummer
who plays triggers, but doesn't want to play to a click?
