    What's your favourite audio tool and why ?

    I think mine is my ATC SCM monitors ... or my 1176.

    Getting to the end of a project yesterday, just acoustic guitar and vocals, but the client wants lots of options and wanted to be able to spend a few days at home with different mixes and takes. So my fave bit of gear as of now is the Mac OS with Time Machine. Firstly, file management is a breeze for doing re calls, cataloguing mixes, consolidating files for back up etc. Secondly, Time Machine pretty much ensures that I never loose a take. Even in mastering I can recall a mix precisely and tweak it. Thirdly, loading PT sessions, copying files and burning discs is instantaneous even on a quad core. So I can actually have a life. Try doing that with tape! :)

    If you'd asked me 6 months ago I would say the RE20. :)

    besides the ears it would be our EL pre up in the job.

    beautiful analog pre with built in compressor from the distressor and the tape input stage from the fatso.

    Sometimes I like to mix it up and use my G-Series SSL ... You know how it is with those old Neves, they are sometimes a bit soft sounding.

    Seeing as someone else's gear is admissable: Seziertisch's matched pair of ELAM 251s.

    Those mics really excel on tambourine.

    +1, especially as an undecoded MS pair.
