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.
