What are your favourite pieces of studio hardware?
Macintosh G5 Dual 2GHz. However, my first love was a Macintosh PowerBook 864. Graduted to a 17" PowerBook before my demands 'OverPowered' my PowerBooks.
Both now handle menial tasks such as E-mails! BTW the Macintosh PowerBook 864 MHz. could handle 60 Tracks of Audio... Using a RME Hammerfall DSP Multiface and RME Digital Audio Card/Bus. It could Record 8 Tracks of Audio, Live. Never failed... The 17" 1GHz. functioned even better, but I could fry an egg on it! Plus, it whined all the time. (Very Noisy) I only used MIDI a little, but it was not a problem. However, GarageBand Macintosh "Drag & Drop" Software would max out the Memory after three or four tracks! Go figure. I used GarageBand once or twice... It was only $50.00 (It was still a waste of money).
Which Digital Audio Workstation application do you use?
Logic Pro 7. I also have Cubase, sentimental. It was the first thing I bought when I heard you could make music on a computer in 1992! "I need a what? Whats a "Sequencer"? What's an Interface? A Keyboard Controller? How much does that cost? How much!!!! I never got around to using it... Its become part of my 'Musical Luggage'
