BASIC GEAR to me is always best. everyone thinks Im crazy when I tell them how I have recorded most of my songs. I use a basic cd burner running all of my gear straight into it, hit record and play the material live on the spot, one track one chance to get it right, it helps me to perfect the live shows and stay on top of my work....I use a lot of different beat machines and a couple keyboards and my sampler and voice recorder.
