OK y'all have way more gear than I do. I'll list mine soon, too. But here's a twist, divide your gear into 2 categories. Daily essentials, and stuff that hasn't been used in 6 months(or not even turned on). Don't ask me why. steve

I noticed a lot (pretty much all) of you have Presonus mic pre's. Is that THE prefered mic pre?

Forgot to add the all important Finale Songwriter that gets abused, I mean used (no, abused was right) nearly every day.I think I didn't play the Yamaha yesterday...

He waited. Patiently waiting, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. The Turrets-like compulsion to just blurt it out was almost uncontrollable. Finally the day came, the day he had always dreamed of. The day when Mazz could finally answer the question... "What's In Your Studio?".
