I do record! It's quite a bit of fun. I was in several bands throughout college and fairly recently "retired" from the live music scene.
Recording is somewhat new to me though I spent near 35 years in many studios, I just was just never really allowed near the knobs
Things have changed a lot and decided to go for broke and set up a full setup to play on records, I've gotten to that point now, I get sent the tracks, I do the drums, and we all dropbox it. Seems thats how records are getting made now
run a universal audio apollo8, with an API 3124 rack, a behringer 8200 through the Apollo to add mic pres for the drums. Took me a long time to learn but its running!I added a quick pic of a typical setup for tracking drums, I have the MBP by the drums, and swing the mic pres closer so I can tweak while I play, but to the right of the rack, is a listening desk with a mirrored monitor, and a pair of Genelec monitors and a sub. It's a bare bones setup, but firepower where I need it. I haven't retired yet, still out playing a lot.

Do you play all of them or have a preference???, and BTW: what's a "no stand alone" if I may appear so dumb???
I do play them all, they're all different, and I use them for different purposes, different setups, sounds etc. the stand alone I meant a keyboard that has all it's own sounds etc internally rather just being a keyboard controller that needs to be connected to a computer or a soundbox source to make noises. I just have a couple midi keyboards.
