I think I got everything I need! What now?

[Thavma]

hey, I really in the last couple of years purchased ALL I need with some of recent purchases,!
and I wonder now, what do you do? lol
I mean I still search for new deals, maybe I have some last bits of software to purchase, but even then I think I will want more!

what is this? do you feel the same about this or do you stop and produce music?
I think I am more buying than producing lol

Don’t worry. There will be a new thing to buy tomorrow.

Have you ventured into the world of microphones and preamps? I'm sure you could find a way to blow a few thousand dollars

What now? Go and make some music for crying out loud.

You know, people rag on me because I bought tons of synths and FX but I also make more music than just about anybody here.

So get off your ass and go do something with all the stuff you have.

I mean how hard is it?

If you enjoy collecting software more than making music, then just start buying stuff you don't need. Who knows, maybe you will find if enjoyable.

Here's my honest advice - start using all the tools you have. Make some music and put some real effort into it. After a while you will find less and less inspiration in the tools you have which will give you a legitimate reason to buy a few more things. I tend to mostly buy things when they are on sale, which means that over Xmas I got a lot of new stuff I haven't really touched yet. But now that our new album is out of the way, I am really looking forward to starting work on the next one using these shiny new tools to inspire me. That's where 90% of my new musical ideas come from - just messing around with synths trying to coax something interesting from them.

What now? Go and make some music for crying out loud.

I was going to say the same thing. I don't buy instruments expecting them to make music without my input - I buy them because I see how they will help me to make music.

[Zombie Queen]

Oh, boy. Let's be honest. Most folks here claim their hobby is making music, while in reality it is collecting music software. Maybe it's time to stop fooling yourselves and just enjoy the experience.

You got a player piano?

Treat it like changing any habit. For 21 days (the habit-change threshold) don't buy anything, explore what you have. If you slip, just start again. (It took the bloke in the previous post 5 years to keep his new years resolution to be nice)

For 21 days (the habit-change threshold).

There is no one amount of time that can be appled to the successful adoption of habits
