Yeah someone might flame me for saying this, but people change, Y'now? 'Puter=PC clone, Athlon 1.3Mhz w/512 Mb RAM, horrid-sounding Creative Soundblaster 'Digital Studio' soundcard [forced to work @44.1Khz with >500ms of latency] Software=Cubase SX 1.1, with lots of freebie plugins (tho' I rely heavily on a particular Waves reverb, in-channel parametric EQ, and a beat-up Alesis 3660 compressor [of course sometimes and when tracking]. Other external widgets=1 Jackson Dinky 2, 1 Roland GR707 synthaxe, 1 Ovation Celebrity CC11, 1 Rickenbacker 4001 (1978), drums provided in a mixed fashion (courtesy of my pocket, some free ones as NSF7, and clipping drum samples from my brother's taped rants), an old Marshall JP1, and an ART fx unit used to add some sparkle and shimmer to guitars. Mikes are 1 Electro Voice PL80 and an Audio Technica ATM25. Ky.
