What's your setup?

Woo nice thread.

Record to a custom built XP PC, running Nuendo v.3 with Motu 2408 + 24i/o converters giving 32 channels of analogue input.

Microphones are made to sound nice by using an AMEK BC-III desk, with 20 rupert neve designed mono channels. Also use FMR Audio RNP (2 ch.), Oram Octasonic (8 ch.) and Universal Audio LA610 (1 ch. + comp).

Compression can be applied using FMR Audio RNC's or RNLA's, DBX 166 or UA LA610.

Some lovely software plugins courtesy of the Universal Audio Studio Pak card.


And sounds are turned into electrical signals by:

2 x Audio Technica 4033
5 x Shure SM57
1 x Shure SM7
2 x Shure SM58
1 x Shure Beta 57
1 x Shure Beta 52
1 x Shure Beta 98
3 x AKG 451
1 x AKG D112
2 x Sennheiser MD421
1 x Sennheiser e609
1 x Reslo Ribbon
2 x Beyer M260 Ribbon
1 x Beyer M201
1 x Royer R121
1 x Electrovoice ND408a
1 x Langevin CR2001.

The sounds are monitored using a Hafler P3000 power amp, through Dynaudio BM5 monitors, and controlled by a PreSonus Central Station.

Plus lots of assorted crap like the Line6 Pod Pro, A&H Desk, Samson Servo 300 spare power amp, M Auddio Delta1010 interfaces (2 of) and stuff...

EDIT :
Of course I forgot to put some stuff in there 4 sm 57's, a Beta 58 and a golden mic from the seventies which I don't know the name of(all markings are rubbed off) and all of the above I record on a mac mini when not using the tape(which I use rearly).
 
I couldn't wait until Monday. Got the Mbox 2 from the post office yesterday, just installed the whole package and fiddled around with it for a while. Even though I couldn't do much and don't really know nothing yet, I liked it. :D

And though I always hate to be wrong, my friend was right. Pro Tools seems a bit more intuitive in it's operation than Cubase (IMO).

The PSA-1 plugin was excellent, so I'm gonna sell my PODs ASAP. No need for outboard boxes, plugins all the way baby! The free Drum plugin was good enough for demoing stuff, now I just have to learn myself away from the tracker stuff I've been using until now. :p

The only negative aspect: I probably don't have enough self control to do any school stuff tomorrow, just play around with the Mbox. :rollno:
