Samplers

I am becoming encreasingly aware of the need for a decent sampler. Just wondering what you think would be a better option.

A new sound card, like an m-audio delta 44 AND a soft sampler like Halion vst

OR

A hardware sampler.

I was leaning towards option 1 because the sound card would be multi-purpose filling.

Basically, I guess my real question is are soft samplers like halion as good as hardware samplers?

Hardware samplers are going to be extinct soon EXCEPT for live performance use where they are more reliable then computers.

Hardware samplers are more expensive and less powerfull then software samplers.

About the live thing tho, id say Reason is stable enough for a live performance when running on a high spec machine.

I wouldn't dare take a computer live. It's not exactly a home environment. Lots of shaking and smoke going on. It's basically taking a risk. Sure it will probably go well. But still then, does reason give you enough live tweakability and routability? Can you pull 3 faders and hit a mute button all at the same time? Maybe with a midi controller...but you need access to all individual drum sounds, and I don't really know if you could do this in reason.

Can you mute/unmute channels (not midi channels, but "tracks" ) in reason using the keyboard?

Yeah, it's just for my home studio. I'm writing stuff that's kind of techno, kind of hard trance. I guess some of Picotto's stuff would be as close as you can get to what it's like.

So what sampler to use. Halion, Kontakt, or something else.
