Welcome to the group Tanya!
There are a few other musicians/ composers on the list too I believe,
sharing an interest in sound design and soundscapes.
I also use Digital Performer on a Mac G4 for most of my electronic music
composition efforts and sound design projects.
Good luck with your research and gathering efforts for putting together
a suitable recording setup. There are some amazing people on this list
from all over the world with a shared interest in recording ambient
sounds.
