My sound interface is an Edirol UA-101 which usually takes signal in from an ART pre-amp that this crazed audio wizard dude in Cambridge MA tricked out to a set of arcane hi-fi specs known only to him.
For field recording (visiting guest instrumentalists and vocalists outside of New York), I like my V-Studio 100.
My favorite vocal mic is an Audio Technica 4050/CM5.

For the most recent album I picked up a multitracker called REAPER.
I assumed it was a toy, like GarageBand, not suitable for a production environment.
I also interact with my main beatsmith Baddd Spellah and my keyboardist Gm7 via the synth program Reason.
Spellah's attached to Ableton Live, which I can't stand.
Best in show is probably the Waves bundle, and the star of that team is a compressor called RVox.
Other
Right now I'm recording and mixing on an i7-920 core running Windows 7.
