Anybody here that only uses one DAW and has less than 5 VST Instruments/FX?
I know there are users here that have an abundance of both and was wondering if there are users here that only used one DAW and a limited set of Plugins that they stick to and whether they have found that the limitations helped improve upon their creative output?
If so what is your set up like? i’m very intrigued in the practice of using as little as possible to help clear the blur of sofware clutter, i suppose less is more and although there is quite a lot to it i suppose a normal example of this would be using Reason without any extra REs or VSTs.

My setup is not quite that minimal, but I don’t have all that many VIs.
Vienna Instrument Pro, Kontakt, BFD3 as a core, certain things Absynth is primary; with special sweeteners.
I never felt that a strict arbitrarily limited palette is any boon to my creativity, but that said, for me having dozens of synths to consider would be a huge waste of time.
Beyond the core 3 I think I have licenses for 5 synthesizer VIs.
