Midi based. Reaper 5 for the DAW. Can’t beat the price and it is ungodly (pardon the pun ;) powerful/versatile. Foucusrite 18i20 interface with a Behringer ADA 8200 ADAT into the Focusrite. Mackie VLZ3 1604 board. MOTU 8 channel midi box. Yamaha HS5 monitors.

I have a Roland Integra 7 feeding 8 channels of synth into the Mackie and a Yamaha TX81z FM synth for all the DX7 type needs. The other 7 channels are for whatever needs doing at the time. Various BOSS pedals and rack effects, but I mostly record raw and then do FX in the box.

Fun little setup. Not SSL/Neve level of toys but it makes me warm and fuzzy ;)

Sounds like a great setup. I use Reaper, too for recording/mixing. Used to use Pro Tools but it's expensive as all get out. Record live from a Behringer X32 32 channel digital board into a Thunderbolt port on my Mac. I use iZotope RX v5 for removing noise(s) from the room (it's unbelievably powerful) and Ozone 5 for mastering.

I'd love to hear something you've done if you post it somewhere in cyberspace. Don't worry. It won't destroy the planet.

Cordially,
