Home Studio walkaround

Great rig setup 
I produce both pop and electronic stuff. I song-write with great prolific writers too.
I’m not allowed to put links in as it’s against the rules but they’re on the YouTube link.
As for the other query, it’s a bit of a and b lol!! I tend to only buy new hardware when existing stuff has paid its way. Having too much just causes overload.
But each one I’ve got (and the software) focuses on a particular sonic or sound so I’ve got it all covered. Some synths (like the Kronos) have 9 different engines in them so that helps.
But some stuff is also vintage anyway and has definitely earned its keep.

Great to hear it’s your profession - mines is just my hobby! Sold a ton of gear in the early naughties when I was into my cars and doing loads of trackdays, since having kids 8 years ago I’ve rediscovered my passion for making music and fortunate enough to get to the age I can afford to buy some of the stuff I could never afford when I was younger!
Currently got 20 inputs (12 on an RME UFX, with a Behri ADAT 8 input expander) and still not enough ;-)

Where’s ‘Get Carter’?
Although I still have the isolation room, mixing desk and all the outboard gear, 99% of the time it's all 'in the box' these days.
Covid times aside it's then recorded by grown ups in London.
ETA At the moment (lockdown) I'm sending off stems to a studio engineer who is mixing (as he's way better than me, and I'm not paying anyway!).
As an aside, I know loads of studio musicians who are completely f
ked by Covid - no furlough available of course. Some of the best sight reading musicians in the world now stacking shelves.Edited by GetCarter on Monday 4th January 13:27
That's what's great about all these setups - they're so individual yet ultimately aim for the same outcome
FWIW, like you most of it all happens here, but for the "grown up" stuff, I track and mix elsewhere - predominantly SSL-studios: I work with a Duality system (and ProTools anyway), but also spend a fair bit of (non-covid) time at Peter Gabriel's Real Word studios - usually the Big Room or the Wood Room
I'm such a nerd

Like Barney BTW.
