I use a Mac with Logic Pro, external soundcard being a Motu with Gefell and AT mics.

Regarding reel to reel - analogue can sound great but 1 inch 16 track is NOT and never has been a professional format.
2 inch Studer professionally maintained is a different thing altogether BUT for most of us completely impractical. The rooms we record in are likely to have a much larger influence on the sound (not to mention the quality of instruments and their players).

Get real and get a Mac
