Home Setup:
iBook G4 1GHz/768Mb/60GB Recording to 160GB Lacie USB2.0 Drive.
Using Logic Express 7.1, M-Audio Fast Track USB, Cambridge Soundworks SBS35 Monitors, and running through my Hifi System. (Technics System with KEF speakers.)Keystation 49e for midi.

Studio Setup: The studio is made of 2 construction crew barracks. Not shure if they are used alot in the US, but in norway, whenever a construction crew is staying in the same location for a long time, they build offices and quartes from these 9fx23f "houses". Anyways i Bought two of them, put them together and completely renovated them. Giving me a total of 18x46 square feet. Built a floating wall to separate control room from recording room. Picked up a couple of sound proofed doors from the local nut-house, and builit 3 layer windows between the two rooms. It`s not exactly Supersonic Studio`s, but at least I`m out off the house

Control Room (Sound proofed with doubble layer walls with air in between, walls covered with all kinds of old carpets, carpets covered with clean new curtains)

i have a modest\simple setup but i must say it is a blast to create with.

this course rocks

I am presently assembling my studio but I have the following,
teac a2340 reel-to-reel
scully 280
teac 2a mixer
several computers (dell, etc)
fender squire guitar
fender bass
keyboards
generic amps(sony ss, dynaco st-70, bogan pa, etc)
a lot of oddball equipment
I am building a sound room in my shop building.
Dan

Well.... I guess I am still going to list what I use... I should say though that I am kind of in a transition phase so ....
I use the family computer, P4, 1.6 G, 384 MB RAM, IDE HD 40 and 120 GB, built in soundcard AC 97, I mix through computer headsets ....
I don't currently work on Audio projects, for training purpose, I try to mix midi files from the net....
My main DAW soft is SX3 + Wavelab 5 for "mastering"
I use lots of VST or Rewire instruments: Reason 3, The Grand 2, Hypersonic 2, Groove Agent 2, Halion 3, Lounge Lizard 3, EP Station...
As for SFX, I mostly use Timeworks, Wave, Izotope, and the built in plugs ...

I also have a very modest setup. I am, however, living in South Korea while my wife teaches english, so I have an apartment to mix in. It's hard but getting easier. I have with me:

HP zx5000 laptop (p4 3.0 GHz)
Cubase SX3
Mostly free plugins
Cheap headphones
Cheap local speakers, though I'm trying desperately to find some better ones
Rode NT-1A mic
Behringer tube MIC100 pre
Tascam US-122 USB soundcard
Old Squire Strat (slightly modded)
Bass I picked up here
Fair amount of knowledge and experience (I'm only 23)

It's hard to find people to record here, as I don't speak Korean, so I generally just record myself, and try to apply mixing techniques, to keep myself in practice for when we go home.

Sorry I'm late to the party. I have time to reply now, due to, of all things, equipment failure.

I'm waiting for Yamaha to call me back. It's been 8 1/2 hours now, and I strongly suspect that the best thing they can tell me is to ship my AW4416 to Cali for repairs. I haven't backed up my files lately because it takes days -- quite literally -- to back up 8 songs what with the track counts and automation, and dozens of CDRs. It suddenly didn't recognize the Waves plugin card and is making static crackling sounds -- not good. I've been working on this project for 3 years, and just want to finish it and move on to another platform... I'm thinking Cubase, Tascam US2400, MOTU... and fantasizing of drop kicking this into the bay

ANYWAY! (not including various door stops and boat anchors; this is stuff I actually use):

Outboard preamps:

(1)Peavey VMP-2
(1)ProSonus MP20
(2)Ampex 351

Outboard Compression:

(1) Oktava ML52
(1) ElectroVoice RE-20
(1) ElectroVoice RE-18
(1) ElectroVoice RE-10

(1) Apex 460

Various instruments, etc.

Alrighty. Spoke with the Yammie folks and did a bit of t-shooting.

The Waves card appears to be, uh, fucked.

Kind of a relief of sorts. I won't be able to mix for probably at least 10 days, since I have to send it to Cali, but I was suspecting worse. Not sure whether I need to re-do all the FX and dynamics tweaking, but I can deal with that.

Still looking forward to Cubase, or Sonar. Logic is unnecessarily elaborate for my needs.

Dang... Looks I'm the old skool kid on the block around here...
