Holy crap, you have a lot there!
Now tell me, I almost bought the M-Audio Axiom Midi kybd, any good? Better than Novation? Haha. I guess it's personal choice really.

The Novation stuff I assume is better quality just by looking at specs/price. But I got the Axiom at a pretty good deal, and needed a controller anyway. The keys feel pretty good, they have some resistance, but aren't weighted too much. Just a good feel for synth work. I guess some "piano" players probably won't like it. The trigger pads actually feel pretty good, and the faders/rotary knobs are smooth. Programming on it is a breeze too.

Yeah, I got a lot right now. I'm running a mobile studio in my town, so I've slowly just been adding to the pile. I really only play bass now live, but just hanging on to the guitar stuff for my own recordings and stuff.

I'm finding the automapping really confusing. Gahh bugger. Never mind.

I actually have a really old Yamaha keyboard that I learnt on. It has totally cool sounds on it.
Logic Studio is way nicer than previous versions. I really like the whole one screen thing, so I don't have to worry about those dual monitors. Back at TAFE, yeah, it was essential (Logic 7) one screen for arrange, one for the bloody mixer and room for the visuals... Film sound was err, not what I was into lol.
I love having it all in one screen, makes life a lot easier

I didn't know you had that much gear! I am booking the next flight to Italy and coming to see you

Custom built PC, 2.66ghz dual core, 2GB RAM blah blah blah. On to more important things:
Presonus Firebox
Novation X-Station
Korg DW-8000
Event TR-6 Monitors'
Rode NT1A Mic
ESP LTD EC-50 Guitar

I run Ableton Live, Reason, and a shit-ton of VSTs.

Older pic, but it's all still there:

Can someone explain me the reason why nearly everyone uses Apple? I'm not a fan of Microsoft (actually i dislike it but the same goes with apple ) but what are the Pros on it? and softwarewise same question... i worked with logic 8 and i have to say that imo cubase 4 is much better...?!?!?!

Off the top of my head I have (again sorry for the list)

4GHz duel core PC running windows XP
Focusrite Sapphire LE
Cubase SX3
Rode NT1
Yamaha 12x2 Mixing Console
Akai 12 track harddisk recorder

More softsynths and drum loopers than I care to count

Hand Built guitar, somewhere between an Ibanez and a Les Paul
Ibanez Artist AR300CS (the 80s type not the reissue)
Samick SW 230 CE (acoustic)
Westfield Strat (a pretty decent fender reject)
Handful of cheap guitars that aren't worth selling that I might give away at some point
Line6 PodXT Live
Crate PowerBlock
Marshall 4x12 Cab
Line6 Flextone II XL Combo
Laney LC30 Combo
eBow

Nord Lead 2
Fatar 880 master keyboard (88weighted keys and all that malarky)
Korg Electribe S-MkII
Yamaha MU10
A Mini stylophone thingy


What I really want to get next are a few more mics and a bass rig. I used to borrow from people I was working with but I'm currently in the process of putting a new project together so I am a bit short in that area now :-/

i use it for Logic Studio

and because i like Unix/Linux

I honestly don't really care between Apple and Microsoft. I've used Cubase, Logic and Pro Tools. Pro Tools is slightly superior to the other two in my opinion but the price reflects that.

Hahaha. Pro Tools is good to some extent, ie, recording directly or dumping tape, but it doesn't come with anything good to mix with. You need all your own plugins or more so hardware to even make it seem good, not to mention the $1800 TDM dongle thing if you want the damn Rotor Cabinet or whatever. Logic already comes with great plugins and at the price it's at now, is more than a million bangs for your buck. It's simple to use, you get really cool plugins plus all the 16,495 Apple loops that come with it. I don't use the loops, but meh, they're there if I need them. I'd rather rock out on ES2 and make my own sounds than take the shortcut because I'm lazy.
Cubase is only good because it's Steinberg and therefore is the only program to support the most common plugin, VST... I still prefer Audio Units!!!
I actually do kinda miss all the illegal software on my PC, Fruity Loops has some pretty neat plugins, plus I miss playing around with my bootleg version of Vanguard and Ravity (best drum machine evaar omg). The damn computer is too slow to run anything though. I still have to buy Vanguard and Ravity, but I don't have any cashola.

I find there's little difference bewteen the ease of the interfaces of all three. I find cubase easier becasue I've used itmost but can see the sense of logic too. A guy I work wit is logic through and through and he finds that easier.
