Hi there,
As already posted if you wanted a fully integrated Midi/Audio package
you have to use Logic Audio on the Falcon (the STE's can handle
 playback of short samples but for HD recording you have to jump to a
Falcon). 
If you are running Notator on an ST or STE then the options for a totally
integrated package is 0!
If you have a sampler with sufficient memory you could use this as a
'virtual recorder' triggered from note events in Notator.  Synchronisation
of long audio passages is quite difficult so if you do record a vocal 
passage in one go this may have to be 'chopped' into smaller samples 
and triggered accordingly from Notator.
Also Notator can 'lock' to an external recording device via SMPTE.
Therefore (like in my home studio) you could buy a seperate multitrack
recorder and Unitor, 'stripe' one track with SMPTE then basically use the 
sequencer and tape/hard disk/mini disk machine inconjunction with each
other.
With hard disk recorders such as the Fostex D80 and the Roland VS880
you have editing options like cut and paste etc. very similar to what you 
get with Logic Audio but in a more basic form.  With Mini-Disk machines
like the Yamaha MD8 again you get simple audio editing but the MD 
machines are usually cheaper than their hard disk counterparts, the
payoff bieng that Mini Disk is'nt a full bandwidth digital recording system
(uses 5:1 compression).
At the 'bottom' of the audio quality scale you have cassette portastudio's
which are cheaper again but have no editing facilities and the quality is'nt
as good as the digital options ofcourse.

Regards
Colin
