Use to use Dcall for 5 CD's and it was suggested to me to make a name change since I do so much beach type music, so that's why the name Duncan Isle. Don't know where Larry came from that's a first.

As to gear
I have a workstation PC I built, I have tried about every software DAW out there and for me Adobe Audition 1.5 and 3.0 work for me.
I have a dedicated audio card RME Hammerfall DSP 9632 card. This was an important change since it really keeps the noise level down and it's a PCI card so no latency issues you get with USB boxes (I tried a ton of those as well)
I use the 950 with a shure 58 mic running through the keyboard.
I have also tried about ever condenser Mic out there as well, like the shure 58
It goes to a Allen and Heath mixer then into the workstation.

I wasted a few years and some major cash fiddling around with software and usb and firewire boxes but I never got the right sound.
Hope this helps!
