i disagree completely. standalone equipment (if used as a standalone product and not a link to your computer) can do many times less what a computer can do. the computer inside it will likely come nowhere close in terms of processing power. editing your audio on a computer is not only a thousand times easier it also has many times more options. you can customize your workflow on a computerized editing suite whereas a standalone is pretty rigid. expanding a computer's virtual effects and instruments arsenal is easy as pie. i could go on and on really. but it really comes down to the fact that not too many people use standalone devices... and there are a lot of reasons.
