For starters, I am a moderate gear freak at best. Don’t get me wrong, I like gear, but there is fancier gear to be had. However, you are hiring my me for what I can do with the gear rather than the gear list. Here we go.
DAW
I am running Pro Tools 12 on a Windows 7 machine with a DIGI 003 rack mount as the main interface. I also have a Mackie Onyx Blackbird which slaves to the DIGI and Apogee Mini-Me which clocks the system and gives me two additional mic pres for a total of 18 inputs. I also use the Apogee A-to-D converters for two track restoration work. I also have Golden Age Pre- 73 MKII Preamp, a Golden Age EQ-73 and a Meek VC3Q Pre-amp. I use Sound Forge for most of my editing and CD Architect for assembling my CD masters.
Mics, etc.

Misc:
I have a variety of guitars, both electric and acoustic, a banjo, three or four basses, a few amps, tuners, various percussion items, a cheap drum set, a photocell theremin, a cool little fake analog synth, a couple stringed MIDI controllers, a wind MIDI controller, an 88 key and a 49 key MIDI keyboard, a half inch reel-to-reel, a couple cassette decks and a DAT machine. That’s basically it. I was also the partridge in the pear tree.
