OMG I have to have own that synth, it's sooo good. Now it sits unused/sold.
String
Z3ta (1&2)
Phoscyon
Aalto
Dune
Razor
Reaktor
Alchemy
sigh. I'm now eyeing Blue 2, Predator and Sub Boom Bass.
GAS sucks.
The only synth I've ever kept is Massive. Initially because I got it apart of Maschine so I couldn't sell it on but now I find it's my go to synth. Actually I still own Kick and can't see myself ever not needing it.

Heh, I'm a natural born horder Funny thing is: I'm using the software plugin "world" as a refuge from my bass guitars GAS Doesn't seem to work though But I have 2 secret "weapons": my 10 years old computer that can't handle new powerful synths and going freeware So far so good But I can't believe how picky I can get even when I deal with freebies I'm never gonna be well - it's time to accep it

Well you should probably use some willpower and stop buying synths for a while.
Dune and Razor are both great and between the two of them they cover a ton of ground. Why not just work with those for a while?

I've already sold them. Dune 2 is approaching release so maybe I'll give it a chance again.stillshaded wrote:Well you should probably use some willpower and stop buying synths for a while.

I know what you mean. I guess the cure would be to slim down the arsenal, and concentrate on using what you have and like... difficult enough.awol9000 wrote:OMG I have to have own that synth, it's sooo good. Now it sits unused/sold.

Well I've sold them all except Alchemy and now I'm thinking I could just get along with just the Alchemy player and use the money from Alchemy to buy Predator which I think would be a better fit.
This pattern is how all my other synths went bye bye.

The only soft synth that felt like a must was Alchemy, and it still gets used more than any other.
But the rest were hard to close myself on. Most came by way of a great price or as part of a bundle with a great price. Not so much a 'must have' but more like, 'for that price, sure, why not?'
Now I have a small list of 'must-haves' if I had to re-buy them for some reason.
I have a small list of things I should probably sell.
And I have a list of things that came in a bundle I just put up with owning since the cost of selling the bundle and re-buying what I want is not worth an added expense just to minimize.

Wait - you can sell VSTs??
In that case - when I have the money it'd be nice to talk to you about Phoscyon and/or Alchemy sir

Oh yes most of them. That's where the trouble starts. Sell one to buy another, on and on. great prices used.BetaAltairVII wrote:Wait - you can sell VSTs??

Of course, many of those become NFR when you buy them used.awol9000 wrote:Oh yes most of them. That's where the trouble starts. Sell one to buy another, on and on. great prices used.BetaAltairVII wrote:Wait - you can sell VSTs??

No, but the sound sets do. The sound sets can be sold by the original owner once and they become NFR after that.awol9000 wrote:BBFG do you know if Alchemy becomes NFR?

Now I think I like Spire more than Predator....easier on the eyes too.

There have been several times where I've bought a new plugin, found it really inspiring, used it in two or three tracks and then I went back to my usual stuff and rarely touched it again.
I usually regret it less than when I buy hardware and don't use it much though.
On that list, I find Razor really useful. Reaktor I think of more as a platform than a synth; I don't do much messing with it directly but it runs other things I like a lot. Alchemy is a workhorse but I don't find myself going to it as much as I could.
I work with about 70% samples and 30% synth, and the synth side is very well covered. I just have to remind myself of this consistently when the next shiny things comes along. Maybe.
