Favourite DAW of choice is Reaper. I made the swich from Logic Pro and the clutches of Apple many years ago.
The instruments I play and record are, in no particular order: viola, piano, violin, guitar, bass and vocals. I found a beautifully restored upright German built Steck piano circa 1930s at an auction in Bath many years ago and I have a collection of electric & acoustic guitars, violins & violas.
Mics of choice: Neumann U87, Beyer 201, Rode NT2A and the surprisingly nice Behringer B5s permanently rigged on the Steck piano.
