This is different to hoarding, which is buying gear for the sake of buying. And while that no doubt happens, it is not within the original context of my line-of-reason i.e the oft-suggest idea that having too many choices will result in some kind of decision paralysis not necessarily always being the case. Not saying that isn't a phenomenon. However, that's not a product of the amount of choice; rather, the fault is in the hands of the producer/artist
I'm discussing that actual phenomenon, taught I was clear enough.
So why talk about hoarding? Simple question: Do you think that lots of choice leads to decision paralysis, and that it's generally better to just have less things?

Means taking more steps to do something, again in favor of having all the right tools available that are most suitable for the given job, instead of wasting time trying to make something less suitable to work for you.
So, rather than trying to make one compressor work for everything, because "OMG! decision paralysis", it's better we have as many tools as will work for different types of jobs. Yes?...No?

While it is true that having one synth can be the exact amount of tools to get the job done the best way possible, I also believe that having access to a whole range of colours, spices, aromas and flavours, in the right hands, can be an inspiration rather than a burden
That's what I said, it's obvious now you totally missed my point, forget about it, I never said anything, let's move on.
Maybe. Or maybe you just weren't that clear :shrug:

I was talking about actual extremes and presented the middle ground, all of them do exist, never said or believe that it's better to have less stuff or believe that lots of choice leads to decision paralysis.

Yes

I was clear enough, started sentence with agreeing with you and expanding on that same thing, but you somehow missed all of it, which is quite puzzling, but hey.

I switched to Logic from Pro Tools back on PT9 because I couldn't use Pro Tools when there was an OS update. Been on Logic ever since, the ONLY thing I miss is the multitool in Pro Tools but I've learned to get quicker with hot keys.

On the whole, I'm pretty dumb. Not a surprise I missed your general gist :tu:

Wasn't fishing for compliments, but thanks. I am probably closer in my assessment (Dumb is a bit of an exaggeration, of course), but it's way off-topic for even the current off-topic of this thread.

But yeah...Have a nice day :tu:
