What do you use for recording?
I've got a 27" iMac 3.4 GHz intel core i7 running Logic Pro 9, an apogee duet as my interface, 2 Rokit 6 speakers, and a shure SM7B running through a cloudlifter for my vocals and acoustic guitar tracking. Superior drummer for the win when it comes to getting my drums dialed in, and I use mostly wave plugins. As for what guitars I usually track with, lately I've been tracking a lot with my MusicMan JP Majesty, as well as my Gibson SG Standard, and sometimes my Jackson SL1 for leads or a background guitar part just for different color. I have a few really nice sounding ESP guitars as well, but they can't seem to get the same sort of alive-ness and punch that the JP is getting. When it comes to tracking acoustic I always use my Breedlove Performance Focus Series for steel string pieces and my Takamine EG522C for nylon pieces. I used to have a pretty sweet bass that I was borrowing from a friend but it is no longer in my possession, so I am currently looking for a bass to fill that spot in my studio.
