Got myself Toontracks Beatstation for €25, felt it was too good an offer to pass by.

But I wonder how much I will actually use it?

Oh that looks kinda cool. Was that a used price?

Nope, bargain bin in a music store.

So it is new, but version 1.0, latest version is 1.2 (hope I can upgrade to the latest version when I register the software)

Well, in the last few weeks, I picked up a couple "Stupid Deal of the Day" plugins plus a BBE362 for half price. I just upgraded to Sonar X2. I am in for close to $300 in the Call to Action. Now I am going back and forth on whether to pick up Alchemy 1.5 while it is on sale. On top of this, Melodyne essential is on sale for $39 today only, so I have to think about that. There are a couple a Hollow Sun MLM plugins I want to pick up. All this and I haven't even gotten to the things in the Market Place I would like to buy. I say this knowing full well that there are at least 20 plugins (effects and instruments) that I have bought and have barely used. In other words, yeah, GAS attack. Big time.

If you use it, it's all good. I've used 99% of what I've bought (rock on!)

I have realized now that my plugin folder has exploded and become a long list of slightly different flavors, from fx to synths, that my inspiration is lacking... Before my G.A.S. began, I was quite content with simply the Superwave Pro and the Kjerhaus Classics. Now I have Komplete and feel less complete and more scattered than ever. I also have a ton of other stuff, but dealing with each GUI, seeking out well known a trusty parameters gets tiresome an frustrating, cause they are all so different. I largely blame no brainers for owning me by knowing my impulsive nature.

I also blame the thought that, "Oh yes, I could, probably, maybe, eventually like to have one of these" thoughts.

I now have so many flavors of plugins that I do not work through the sound design as much, which is important if your seeking "that" sound... Then I get bored and tired of jumping from synth to synth.

Oh G.A.S., your a real pain in my ass!

Just found out that as I'm working at an University I can get an academic license for Synthmaster.

So adding the current newsletter 10% discount they offer, I managed to get it for just $53,1

Pretty good deal IMO

I thought I was doing better and it turns out I'm not.

Got burned BAD on the sonar upgrade and then bought TH2. Then, I was feeling guitlty that my peeps were not at 4-1 in that deal yet (I really don't need anything else amp sim

)

Now, I'm kinda on this live kick, which I haven't bought anything yet, but ffs, ANOTHER HOST?

Let's talk about: Gear Acquisition Syndrome
