Thought we could all learn from each other about our different approaches to home based recording.

I use a Tascam US428 controller into Cubase SX. I find the Tascam a great help because it has all of the faders and buttons etc meaning you don't have to point around with the mouse all the time. Cubase SX is great for recording into and arranging, it allows audio and midi so you can do just about anything with the right plug-ins.

As far as effects go, I just got a POD xt which has a realy cool array of sounds for lead but for heavy riffs, I still like my Line6 DM4 stomp box.

Anyone else?
