Here's a few updated pictures of my home space. I'm starting to do a lot of mixing at home, and just going into work to do final mixes. It makes sense for me, since the studio is about a half hour to 45 min drive away. I also have a small selection of mics here at home to do overdubs or what have you if needed.

My current home set up is...

Dual 1.8 G5 with 4 gigs of ram
32" main Monitor (Makes working with waveforms EASY!)
19" secondary monitor (great for throwing up the mix window!)
KRK Monitors
Presonus Firepod OR M-Audio Delta 1010
Mbox2 for Pro Tools
Behringer BCF2000 for easier mixing

There's various outboard gear floating around as well including:

ART Dual MP with 2 Mullard tubes - actually sounds great on certain things!
Electrix Filter Queen and EQ Killer
Fostex Comp

Mics at home are nothing special, but they get the job done if I have to do something.

MXL 960 Tube large diaphragm w/Tung-sol Gold Pin 12ax7
2x Shure SM57
EV 0056
Sennheiser e609
2x Samson CO2 Small diaphragm
Audio Technica 2020 large diaphragm

The AT, Samson's and the 609 are a cheap mic kit from Sweetwater. It runs about $300 with the SKB case, and is great to toss in the trunk with my firebox for recording stuff at rehearsal. Good times for sure.
 
I need to upgrade my computer and software something cronic. but my equipment does the job.

Software:
Sonar Cakewalk..version 4 :S
Reason 8
Audacity
FruityLoops studio

Mixer:
4 channel behringer mixer with built in multi effects

Preamp/ D.I:
Currently using a Tech21 sansamp bass driver for a D.I for bass and a Fishman Aura pedal for Acoustic guitars.

Mic:
On the hunt for a Condensor...but i've used everything from a brand new Rode condensor, a bunch of old school 57's and a couple of old senheisers. but i have never owned a decent mic. All borrowed.

but...this is the studio i get to use next year...

i rarely record, but the results i get haven't been to bad. Sorry about no pics.
 
Pretty modest but it does the job.

Intel 3gig dual core with 4gig RAM running XP SP3
Presonus Studio One Pro
Presonus Faderport
M-Audio Profire 610 interface
M-Audio Axiom 25 Midi controller
KRK VXT4 studio monitors (these babies are the crown jewel)

I'm showing my wife this thread - so the complaints about how much gear I have can stop.

I will take a picture later -but my setup is simple and serves my needs.

Windows PC with various software
Mackie 12 Channel Mixer
Line 6 UX2
Boss 8 Track / Drum Machine
Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Speakers

A few Shure Mics SM57 and a headset

Senn 595's with a HeadRoom Amp/DAC

Small Fender Guitar Amp
Ibanez Artcore Custom
Old Takamine Acoustic

GK800RB
SWR 350x
MarkBass LMII
(Walkabout this week I hope)
SWR and Ampeg Cabs
Spector, Fender, Lakland, Guild Basses
Tech 21 and Zoom Effects
DB166XL Compressor/Gate

Considering new Powered Studio Monitors.
 
This is pretty amazing if I do say so myself.

Thanks. It gets shuffled a lot but the core things are there. You can't really tell from the picture because it's a panoramic, but it's a very tiny room! I'm pretty amazed at the amount of gear we manage to fit in there.

I've gained a couple bass cabs in there, moved the full drums out (but kept the electronic ones), added an MS2000R synth, some more amps, and yesterday I picked up 2 SM58s for $100 total. Pretty stoked about that. Going to be recording some vocals for a 4-piece band soon, I'm excited to put everything to use.

Nice dude, congrats on the SM58's I guess? haha. I like the jam packed rooms though.
