The M-Tron is really cool. I can crank so many different sounds out of that thing, it's not even funny!

Fiddling with the Hallmark Custom-60 on some tracks to get that really urgent sound.

Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps?

Not too much $$$ and more power then I'll ever need!

Your setup sounds pretty sweet too...and once you get started down this long and winding road (hey, that'd be a good song title) it's kind of odd the amount of money you do throw at it without realizing it. I started off with a 8 channel Behringer mixer and thought that was all I'd ever use or need...:D

I use Addictive Drums and EZDrummer quite often as a model for drum tracks when working up original songs. Found the Groove Monkey MIDI loops are very versatile with either of those.

We use a Radial JDI for the bass, what's your opinion of the Sans Amp direct bass (we also use a BA-115).

Nothing like modern technology !

Nothing at all wrong with keeping it simple. That IS the best way to get those ideas and emotions recorded without the TECHNOLOGY crap that gets in the way when you really have something good, in the moment, that you want to lay down and dont want to loose.

How about electronic drum kits? Does any one use one of this in their home studio? I am thinking of getting one - the acoustic drum set I have it driving the wife crazy.

Our drummer uses an electronic drumkit for home practice but says it sucks for other purposes (surf music speaking).

About home studio, I have a Zoom H4 for quick recording (I can record up to 4 tracks on it). Otherwise to home record demos, I work with a macbook pro, a digidesign Mbox with protools, shure and akg mics

I have a Roland TD6, but I don't use the onboard sounds; I use BFD2 instead, whioch sounds great.

I'm not much of a drummer, to be frank and our drummer doesn't like to use it, if possible, so we record elsewhere, but it's very useful for demos and when writing stuff. It also gets used sometimes if other people come round to record.

I picked up BFD2 last year and am nothing short of amazed. If I am not mistaken, Steve Albini supervised the recording of the tones that are included and I have challenged people over and over to distinguish between demos recorded with BFD2 and those done live. The verdict? Well, you can tell, but only because the BFD2 drums are entirely too professional sounding for someone on my budget.

THE KBK ... This is the last known signal. We offer Sanctuary.

I think that Steve Albini recorded the Deluxe expansion pack, not any of the drums included with BFD itself. Nevertheless, they sound very good indeed.
