I fell for the Wusik group buy, that was last month. Don't need more instruments. :shrug:

Maybe could use a nice transient shaper to help control the peak-y results of some of my sound mangling, not sure through. :shrug:

Since moving to my new laptop, I haven't re-installed about 1/3 of my plugins due to "do not use". :( won't bother re-installing untiI need them, which will likely be never. :shrug:

I have MCreativeBundle, almost everything Voxengo makes, a pile of Nomad Factory plugs, *everything* Audio Damage makes in plugins.. a pile of Native Instrument plugins.. all my bases are covered. There might be 2 sample libraries I want for Kontakt, and maybe one instrument (which I won't get since I'd have to buy an iLok on top of the outrageous cost of the thing itself). :tantrum:

I almost bought a modified Epiphone SG G 400 custom with bigsby and triple humbuckers and a sg case for about 280 euros and I don't even know if it is good and a great deal....still available too

Edit: PS: Trying to not want UVI relayer too

I try to control it by waiting for good deals where I know I can turn around and sell it for the same or more.... or at least that's what I tell myself. Unfortunately the stuff I "need" now it expensive. Always wanted a supernova II and a big analog polysynth. Trying to avoid the supernova by picking up a mininova, not sure that the sound is going to satisfy me there. Trying to avoid the big $$ for the big polysynth by buying it piecemeal little phatty + slim phatty's chained. But yah.... gotta have custom made wood ends done for the little phatty, nice rosewood with a red stain.... Also picked up an Elevata cause I always wanted one, now have to spend extra to get the latest OS burned onto an eprom so it's usable.... Gotta have a volca sample, well, to complete to collection!

What I really need is acoustic treatment, not more gear.

I will say that I have made a profit off some gear and I know I can sell it if I need the $$ or want to change hobbies.

Too busy to post here. I'm running a background search for the best deal for an electric waterharp that will be powered by a millwheel - grind wheat, make music...

soon as I bought the third motorcycle and parked it with the other two I came in sat down and thought 'f**k, I could have bought a DSI Prophet 6
I supposed I'm cured of music making GAS, but the bling for these heavy metal machines is $$$$$

Hi, I just upgraded to Waves Mercury. What's gear acquisition syndrome?

Post

I'm afraid my GAS slowly turned from soft to hardware. :cry:
Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.
