I think I've gotten the gear hunt out of my system. My setup
2 EMU4 Ultras both with maxed RAM, one with orbit and phatt roms, both with RFX32 and ADAT expansions.
1 K2500RS maxed with sampling option, KDFX, PRAM upgrade and 128 meg ram
1 Ensoniq ASRX maxed including the 8 output expander
1 Yamaha AW16G digitial multitrack
1 Edirol Midi patch bay
2 Behringer audio patch bay (I know, I cheaped out)
1 Novation KSR Rack version of KS4
1 Behringer Ultra Curve pro (not in the signal chain) I use it for the RTA
1 Terratec Axon AX100 Mk2 (I play my Rickenbacker through this, its a fantastic realtime pitch to midi converter)
1 novation X-Station 61 key controller
1 MPC500 maxed ram to 128 and 5 Compact Flash cards
@ $600 worth of cabling
A sound library of almost 500 cd's
I'm feeling like I should be able to make some sane insanity with this setup. My only disappointment is that I can't buy talent.
