guitaroo	Date: December 13, 2005 @ 11:56 PM I use a Boss Roland BR864. What do you use?
shadowself	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 3:47 AM Sonar.
TheElf	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 5:35 AM Zoom MRS-1044CD
sparkotronic	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 8:54 AM Cubase SE and FL studio Via a Terratec DMX 6fire
wailingmiserere	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 9:47 AM When I'm at home - analogue 4-track + cheap mic + very basic free software. When I'm at university - Pro Tools/Logic + extremely expensive Neumann mics + lovely big university recording studio.
zedsalt	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 11:18 AM Fostex X18 and/or X28 cassette four-track on rare occasion, I pull out my Yamaha MD8 (digital eight-track to data format minidisc) for the juicy editing capabilities
psypig	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 11:19 AM Cubase SE, M-audio delta 410 and soundcraft compact10 mixer.

hate9wicket	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 7:02 PM garageband(hope to upgrade to logic express soon) unless someone has a better suggestion???
MinisterofSc...	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 7:38 PM Sonar generally now...but I used to use "sound studio". A kinda cool program for macs. It's really wimpy and nearly useless because there's nowhere to plug an external mic into my comp though. (and it's dead) It had some features that were useful though...like reverse and flanger and stuff. Good for pasting little bits of stuff together.
evansorchid	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 8:27 PM Cakewalk Love the editing functions!!! 'cause I need 'em!!!!
Vryl	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 9:05 PM cubase and an rp300, i want to get a line6 pod though. the digitech rp's suck the hell out of tone. oh and i use a BOSS compressor ritualistically!
hate9wicket	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 11:10 PM I do have a bass pod from line 6, which I also use for guitar, since you can line out 2 di's for stereo stuff. no amps, all direct, if I ever get a drum set, I'd have a use for the tascam mixer gathering dust in my basement.
tsand19151	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 11:12 PM Logic on a Mac.
GeneHilbert	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 1:36 AM digitech rp's - I have one of those - and I rarely use it because I have better processors. I do agree mostly about the tone - however..... if you tweak it decent sounds can be gotten from it.... It's mostly the compressed tones that suck, and that's just about true from any solid state or cheaper digital unit. One that I’m really impressed with is the Johnson J-Station, for the price it is really very good.
tooles	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 2:29 AM Sometimes...a webcam. Other times...a mic that came free with my computer. The quality is just a little better than the webcam.
sparkotronic	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 4:51 PM Jings, I've got a RP1 in the attic! I hanen't used it for years, I've been thinking of bringing it down and using it as a midi controller!
GeneHilbert	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 5:17 PM midi controller.......? Not possible, the RP100 isn’t midi compatible.... Gtr or inline mono effects processor only...

gurdonark	Date: March 18, 2006 @ 10:15 AM I use magix audio studio 5, which cost a grand total of 5 dollars.
EchoMinor	Date: March 18, 2006 @ 8:17 PM i use Adobe Audition, FL Studio6, BOSS Compressor Sustainer, RP300. oh and on the RP's yes they tend to turn your guitars tone into vomit, so a BOSS compressor really makes it less vomit like just stay away from 80% of the distortion tones...

vladb	Date: April 28, 2006 @ 9:21 AM My bustedass Four track recorded a behringer mixer and my minidisc player, then (every so often) Audacity to mix/tweak
Elu	Date: May 15, 2006 @ 11:01 AM Sonar 5 Producer Edition. The pitch editing software that comes with 5 is amazing!

Date: May 15, 2006 @ 6:10 PM Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop 3.2 Ghz p4, 1 GB ram, echo indigo i/o pcmcia soundcard, cubase sx 3, reason 2.5, various vsts, yamaha guitar & bass, mackie 1202 mixer, shure sm57 and sm 58 mics, soundforge 8. I also run Nuendo sometimes at my work, which I have access to, which is cool as I can run the Nuendo projects at home in Cubase SX and vice versa.
DeadFiend	Date: May 15, 2006 @ 6:57 PM 8'' plug into to my Mic hole in my tower. That 8'' connected to a quarter plug in. Then the effects and what not to the guitar... Dun Duun
panicstrickin	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 2:18 PM Pro Tools 6.9 Le M-box...2 Rokit5 Monitors...through an HP Pavillion with 2gig ram 3 hard drives and a new Audigy 4 sound card. B.F.D. for the drums. An E-mu X-25 midi board for the midi stuff and things I can't really play!!

InsaneWayne	Date: May 27, 2006 @ 8:15 PM CakeWalk Pro Audio 9, Cool Edit 2000, WinME on a 400Mhz Pentium with 420MbRam, two soundblasters ISAs, two CMI 8738 PCIs, two Phonic 1002a mixers (soundcards have no pre-amp), a Line6 amp modeler (into a soundcard), and quite often I go from the line-out on a bass amp into a soundcard. My accoustic guitar has a built-in pre-amp so that aslo gets plugged straight in. I use my Peavey PA system to monitor with (it gets bored when its not on stage)
PosBee	Date: May 28, 2006 @ 10:44 AM I record with E-Jay and make the beats with it too. Someday, I heard a famous spanish rapper claiming that he also started with e-jay and although he owes it a lot, he added that it was shit. This dude wac completely fucked up. E-jay is cheap (30$)and even if it ain't the best software, it makes it possible for you to begin and do a demo.
serotoninsage	Date: May 28, 2006 @ 10:27 PM M-Audio and Cool Edit Pro II
JamesThomson	Date: June 4, 2006 @ 3:36 PM zoom 16 track for comples things. Audacity on my comp for the stuff that's on here tho

TnyjMuzic	Date: June 25, 2006 @ 7:04 PM Im probley the most old fashion one here. I don't use computers to record because i think it ruins the whole dream. But thats just my own opinion. I use a Tascam 488 they don't make them anymore but i still love and cheris mine. I do my recording on the Tascam then mixdown to CD with a Sony CD Recorder.
thesoloer	Date: June 25, 2006 @ 8:07 PM Well I dont know much of that other than this is awkward nontheless but I have to tell and say that I have clearly found it odd because I have used some programs but found they didnt work. I use audicaty to record rap but I'm looking for Soundpro. Soundpro isnt that bad, you know?
leflaw	Date: June 25, 2006 @ 8:25 PM Protools on Mac G5 , OSX Mastering on Steinberg Wavelab 4.0 and a PC. Burn to disk through an ART compresser onto an external CD burner. Played around a little with digital performer,garageband, Reason, cakewalk, etc. Used Voyetra in the 1980's (on a Pentium I !) Have a few reel to reels and ADATs lyinmg around, plus a DAT.
