I am not a fan of Macs but it helps to have a Mac based setup for standardization. A lot of times I will have new engineers mix or track sessions for me. It cuts down a lot of hassle when they are already 100% familiar with the setup.

Anyway, I have 2 rooms. One has a Digidesign Control 24, SSL XLogic channel strip. Neve G series compressor channel strip, Mac G5 with a 23" monitor.

The second room is really just a pre production room. In that one I have a Imac G5 running with a Korg D32 XD as the board & a simple recorder for songwriters that come in but don't know how to work Pro Tools or Logic. The D32 kicks major ass by itself. I'd suggest it to anyone.

All speakers are Tannoy's except the near field monitors on the Control 24 which are Yamaha NS10's.

The basics are shared between the rooms: 2 Tritons one is an Extreme, Korg Karma, MPC 2500 & 4000, Emu E4 and my favorite... SP1200.

The software is standard in both rooms. Pro Tools HD in the large room, LE in the small one. Logic, Reason & Plug ins galore.

All this stuff is cool but a hit can be made on anything now a days. A laptop with a cracked audio program and a midi keyboard is all you need now a days. Brands don't even matter.
