My Setup

Ok there is 2 setups. One is post/band and the other is keyboard/preproduction.

My Home rig: (Keyboard/PreProduction)

Macintosh Dual 867 2 gigs of ram
Dual 15" LCD Monitors
T.C. Powercore DSP Card (This is a dedicated efx card)
Mackie UAD1 (This is a dedicated efx card)

Software:
Digital Performer 3.0 and 4.0
Protools LE
Reason 2.0

I am about to buy a TDM card and use logic audio so I can use TDM plugins as well as the Powercore and Mackie UAD card at once. (Its all about options)

Hardware:
MOTU 896 .....8 ins/outs 8 Preamps
MOTU 828......8 in/outs 2 preamps....this is the MOTU 001 basically works nice with Reason.
MOTU Midi Time Piece AV....this is to control all of your external Midi gear with digital Performer.

Various outboard efx processors. (I am going to be selling some stuff soon my $1000 Powercore card sounds better then a whole rack of stuff I have)

Keybaords/efx boxes.
Roland Xp-60 4x Expansion

Alesis MODFX I get a discount on everything Alesis makes these boxes are nice and you can connect upto 13 of them and when they pass from box to box they do not gain stage. I have the Vocoder, The analog filter and the PHAZE. These boxes sound great, the only setback is no MIDI. =\

Various Mics Vocal/Instrument.

Marshall and Peavey Guitar cabs. The Marshall has a DI box built right into it. I use this to send drum hits to the speakers and remic it coming out of the cab.

Various guitars, an accordian with a 1/4 jack (Fear) and my baby is a 1960's Gibson electric accoustic.

Ok now the big boy

Band/Postproduction/Film/etc

48 inch Phillips HD TV.....(Yea this cost more then my entire home rig)

Protools Mix 3 (cubed) TDM system with 4x888 interfaces.
DigiDesign Pro Control with 4 fader packs. 40 faders total. (There is another fader pack but its fucking up)

Mackie 32 channel 8 Buss Analog console.
(For some ungodly reason you have a choice between mixing analog or digital)

Various external Preamps and outboard gear.

1 Live room

I am also in the process of making some isolation cabs for guitars. If I listen to a Marshall stack at high volume for the next 10 years I am goign to be deffffffff. You load the cab in the back and put a mic in the front. I am going to make some with tile finishes and others with wood and some others.

ok enough my fingers are about to fall off.
