kit list comparisons?

[noisemonkey]

hey dudes. Just wondering what everyone's got lurking in their studios? I'm sure this has been posted a million times but anyway mine is:

roland sh101
yamaha an1x
korg er1
akai s6000
african djembe
vester strat copy electric guitar
small charvel amp (quality distortion)
sennheiser E855 mic
Yamaha 01x
genelec 8040's
ableton
various vst's
m-audio trigger finger
yamaha silver cornet

Nothing. But my first piece will be Spirit Absolute 2 monitors.

I really want to move away from looking at a computer screen all the time

Want to go more 'organic',...band-like.

Don't really know where to start. Thinking Ableton with Midi Controllers.

eventide orville

is that why one of LN tracks is called 'Teventide' ?

yes - teventide was done way back bout 3-4 yrs ago when i got my first eventide - an eclipse

then a coupla years back when i sold all my analog system modular kit i spent the money on upgrading to an orville.. best money i ever spent!

also the sample at the beginning of teventide was my first use of the eventide - that sample was actually some female voices going 'doo' then run thru tide pitch crystals and filters

not much.
