Oh man does this thread speak to me! Glad to know I'm not alone in this, ha, guess I can understand the whole AA deal now...
anyway, a couple days ago I finally talked myself into ordering Omnisphere, which I'd been drooling over for a while, and the Omnisphere purchase seemed like a big and climactic enough one that i then said, "I am done! for the rest of the year! i've got all I need".....then I hear about this 99 dollar fab-filter deal. and I just couldn't possibly say no. you know what I mean.....it was an impossible offer to refuse.
ahhhh.

Okay, I don't feel as bad!
In the past couple weeks, I've picked up...
Kore Electronic Experience $80
PSP Nitro $9.99
T-Racks Singles (also x2, total of $174)
and Leslie Sanford's Reverb for $35.
Now... all that's left in foreseeable future...
dlm's Ballistic
Akai's APC40, LPD8 and LPK25
I already owned the Fabfilter stuff, so I was just merely cheerleading on the sidelines as everyone got the deal of the year.

Uhhhh... I... promise... to...
Er...
Not to buy any more..
hardware, software, or samples.
There I said it!
BUT:
When I sell some of my existing hardware I will probably get some new pieces which are more useful to me.
When I have $1000 in savings I will work my way through my "wishlist".
This also excludes anything in my wishlist and certain limited time deals below $50.
Haha I suck. Wishlist here -> http://xybre.blogspot.com/2009/07/audio ... hlist.html
reworded it.. still means the same thing.. added samples to the list..

I've spent all my time since last December working to pay off old medical debts, and as of last week I am debt free. God it feels good.
I rewarded myself with PSP Nitro.
It hasn't been easy (and I think I've been no fun to be around), but it does get easier every time I pass up something (like the FabFilter deal).
Last year all I bought was Superior Drummer 2.
So, two good years for me.
I have a musical wish list, I've been sorely tempted, but it can all wait. My god-daughter is getting married in October. If I can afford one thing it will be that plane ticket.
I will check out the AudioMidi "no brainer" deals every month, however.
I promise to stay on course.

It should be noted that DLM's Ballistic is exempt from all promises, as it's for charity (mate).
In fact, anyone who hasn't already bought it should do so - you can't successfully 'not buy' anything until you have bought it. It's kind of paradoxical, but you're just in denial until you own a copy
Aside from that, there's no other good deals now... um... isn't it time for the next Audiomidi.com offer ?

Nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I promised myself this recently after buyng a lot of new stuff to build up a new strong arsenal, but then the FabFilter deal came across and had to buy it, then I promised again and now I have seen Sugar Bytes WOW for a good price and already PM-ed the seller Damn.. Am I an addict? That darn Market Place link.. I can't resist clicking it..

[quote="IncarnateX"]...
Now what gear have YOU promised NOT to buy and what gear do you promise NOT to buy in the future?.. quote]
I better skip the first question.
Now my promise for the rest of this year:
I promise not to buy any new gear (especially no NI or Steinberg stuff) except:
- Pianoteq, 112dB Redline Monitor and Morgana
- important upgrades for gear I own already
- special sales that are too good to be missed
- exciting new things that are too good to be ignored
