BS> I've been thinking about using my home PC to do some home recording.
        I think it's about the right time.  1.2 gig HD are going for high 
$200s these days.  Pentium are starting to drop in price.  VL-BUS driven HD 
controllers are the standard.  Now we just need to figure out how to sound 
isolate the computer fan. 
BS> Any rumors on CUBASE coming out with a 32-bit version to
BS> accommodate WINDOWS95?
        Likely.  Be warned though that Steinberger is notorious for writing 
bloated softwares for the Windows platform.  I used to use Cubase for Atari 
and loved it, then I got Cubase for Windows and well.. the current version 
will run decently if you have a fast Pentium and lots of memory.  If their 
midi sequencer needs a Pentium, I don't want to think about what their hard 
disk recorder runs on.  Though I will admit I have no first hand experience 
with Cubase/Audio, so hopefully they have a different team work on it.
BS> What is the best soundcard for this type of work?
        Depends.  Try a Turtlebeach Quad or the Roland RAP-10.  Though the 
RAP-10 had some brain-dead hardware design which didn't win many developer 
support initially.  Things might have changed since then, check with the 
folks here or rec.audio.pro on usenet.  I haven't keep up with audio side of 
things lately, thus I am not aware of the new Yamaha card.
