What do you guys use for your Reaper set up. What Rack effects? What amps? What Interfaces.

I use Maudio studiophile AV40s
a ux2 interface with Gearbox and PODFARM
and thats about it.... but It gets the job done.

looking to dabble with signal processing.

getting there...
 
Most of my stuff is mobile, until I get the room and $$$ for a bigger and permanent spot.

Gateway FX series laptop (P-7915)
Tascam US-1641 USB interface
Presonus Eureka preamp/channel strip
dbx 231 EQ
TC Electronic C300 Compressor
TC Electronic M350 reverb/delay

I would love to have a good control surface for it, but right now I don't have the $$$ to let go of.
 
Here's how I'm hoping my setup will work, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Tascam US-428:

* 4 audio ins
* 2 MIDI ins/outs
* mixer control

M-Audio Audiophile 2496:

* 2 audio ins
* 1 MIDI in/out

Behringer BCR-2000:

* plugin control

2 MidiSport 4x4s & 1 MOTU Micro Lite:

* 13 MIDI ins/outs

The way I envision this working is, I'll have 6 simultaneous audio ins, 16 MIDI ins/outs, and total control of Reaper and all plugins - without using the mouse, and without constant excessive bank switching and what-not. That's assuming, of course, that all this stuff will play well together.

Well, I have recently procured a 100' 24x4 snake and added a bunch of mic stands to the system. I have also used the system for real time in the box front of house mixing (mixing without a mixing console). I've done this twice and it went quite well. I have another live mix job coming up on the 26th. I am able to do a live mix and record at the same time, but, so far I haven't spent the time getting the recording part set up properly so I don't know yet how the mixes will turn out. Here are some sample projects, all recorded using Reaper (expect for the stuff from 1976 and '77): Richard King's sounds on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free
