The Great Gear List - my past and present

I thought this would be fun to read and reminisce our past to present evolution of gear that passed through our hands.
I'm cringing at the thought of trying to remember it all in one pass, so I'll be updating mine post every week or so until its done to detail, or I am done.
I think I'll add up the cost of this party at the end too. :coffee:

30 years later, not much has changed.

30 years later, I'm looking at what we were doing in the 80's. Not much has changed other than its more ITB now and we have been spending the last 20 years trying to get it to work.. We used hardware and midi. It looks like Korg is getting back to the basics.

This is like looking at Roland back in 1979, where it all began.

Plugging in DIN cable

Duh. I have always been afraid of 5-pin DINS. I'm trying to plugin the male end of a cable into a female connector at the base of a mic (congrats to me: I commissioned a Neumann U47 replica, and it is awesome.) I'm sure the pins are straight and I managed to plug it in last night. But today, still difficult. Any tips? This has plagued me for years.
