Music-intensive - you still get 3 minutes to do other things - the mouse 
won't be moving the whole hour! :-)

BSI Wavestation, the precursor to Simian, has live assist and voice 
track. Unless they removed that!
 
I would suggest for "music intensive" get a GOOD sound card. Audio 
Science. This will let you have high fidelity in a real sense, do 
smoooth segs, cross fades, etc.

Consider, server or work station bases storage, how the data will be 
backed up. Not "just" the music, but the spots, logs, templates, 
configurations, etc.
