Mac and FireStudio! DON'T get the FirePod. I have the Studio and love it 1000x more than the Pod. But, in general... Get a PC. Not a stand alone. There are too many things that a standalone can't do that software can.

My experience is that although the standalones have some good "mojo" and produce fabulous sound, you can soon outgrow them as you are limited in resolution, track number, effects etc. Also mixing can be less that intuitive.

The PC with DAW is a great medium and can expand with you as you progress (it's a process, not a race). The versatility is really only limited by budget.
