Btw, I notice the dust cap on the right monitor is dented, or it looks it...you can fix that with some light suction if you're up for it. A vacuum cleaner set to its lowest setting with a little moisture on the end should grab it and pull it right back out again. Good as new!

Thanks man.

- The speaks on the bottom are Alesis MK2 active studio monitors.
(The right one fell off a desk the first day I had 'em, but it didn't change the sound noticeably, so I never tried to repair it)
- The top are just some PA speakers I use for A/B referencing.
- The red sub under the desk is an iKey 10" sub, with crossover to my monitors at about 50 hz.
- My soundcard is the one with the black faceplate on top in the rack above those audio processors. It's an Echo Audiofire 12 with 12 bal/unbal inputs/outputs. Firewire, 24bit converters and up to 192khz sample rate.
- The rest of those processors are just EQ, compressor, FX unit, and an enhancer. All Behringer. Mostly for live application, as I get better results with good software when recording.
- You see the obvious stuff in there. Mackie 16 channel mixer, Access Indigo2 synthesizer, RP500 guitar pedal, Crate bass amp, and on the right there's a 4x10 Peavey valve king half stack, a Fender KXR keyboard amp, on top is a crap Line-6 Spider head. All that is pretty much live app.
- There's like two other items in there, a groovebox and a Tascam digital track recorder, neither of which I use anymore.
- Guitars, drums, instrument mics not pictured.

Guitars:
Ibanez RG3520ZE electric, Ibanez AES acoustic/electric
Bass:
Fender jazz (vintage-ish, was my dad's, but he doesn't even know the actual model)
Drums:
Built kit, fusion sizes, 6 piece, scores of cymbals
Electronic kit - DTXpress 2 (piece of crap. I plan to integrate it into my acoustic drum setup eventually, for some effect options, kinda like Danny Carrey does. At that point, the PA & speakers will be used to drive them.)


The PC: (Built rig)
- Win XP pro sp3
- Mobo: MSI NVIDIA® nForce 750i SLI
- Core2duo E8400 @ 3.00ghz
- 4 gigs Kingston RAM (obviously only utilizing 3.25 of it)
- Nvidia GeForce 9600 @ 512mb
- dual monitors, (1 acer, 1 LG) 22 inch, both at 1680x1050
- 2 internal harddrives 150GB each, 2 externals 80GB each
- Porn.

The music software:
Sonar 7 Producer edition
NI Reaktor 4, and 5
NI Absynth 2, and 3
Waves Platinum bundle
Crap load of other VST's and VSTi's.

I think that's about it.
