I agree with your instincts. New computer, software to record AND assemble (Kontakt will assemble but has no actual recording capability), good i/o (plenty of multi function boxes out there), a slamming mic pre with a line level input, a good mic and time to kill and you're off. I do all my sample patch creation in Kontakt and edit my recordings right in my DAW or in Peak.  Lotsa ways to do this.

Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Off Topic Samplers


  
    
                  
I am planning to get into sampling and know next to nothing about it, looking at the net would I be right in thinking that hardware samplers are on the way out and that software progams  such as Kontakt are the way to go?

I quite like the look of the Kurzweil K series but I don't really need another keyboard, did I really write that!?

I do need a new computer, my laptop is 8 years old so I wonder if I would be better off upgrading my computer and buying some better software. I'm using Audacity, FL Studio and a free vst sample player at present.

Any ideas?
