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?Passing Bye wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:12 pmI'm discussing that actual phenomenon, taught I was clear enough.el-bo (formerly ebow) wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 4:55 pm I made a very clear distinction that if an artist/producer can justify each bit of gear, no matter how seemingly insignificant, or how little it will get used, then it can be justifiable. 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
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?Passing Bye wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:12 pmMeans 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.
Maybe. Or maybe you just weren't that clearPassing Bye wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:12 pmThat's what I said, it's obvious now you totally missed my point, forget about it, I never said anything, let's move on.el-bo (formerly ebow) wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 4:55 pmAlso not sure about "having enough tools to get the job done best way as possible". 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
