If you are able to use all of that and get done what you want/need to get done, then it's a great set up.

I don't know what you record or how you record so I don't know what you would need.

If you were me, you would be thinking about getting a more realistic drum sound. You would also want to be able to have access to and create lots of different rhythms. You would be looking at various drum based VSTi/sample libraries.

You would also be looking into some good quality VST effects.

Your long term desires would be to have a good multichannel interface into the computer so that you could record a whole band at one time...if you were me.
