Give me;

1. Altiverb
2. Sonalksis SV315 and SV515
3. PSP Vintage Warmer (...and Mixpack, and the 84 delay...)
4. Hydratone
5. elemental audio's Equim and Firium
6. apTrigga

...and I can mix and record most things happily. 1, 3 & 5 are my essentials.

...well, for not much more money than a keyboard and mouse you can get a Behringer BCF2000.
It also happens to do SOOOO MUCHHH for the price it is untrue.... not often you can say that for a piece of kit.
