[QUOTE="evilgenious, post: 821431, member: 91276"] Thanks Zoolook i couldnt agree with you more, i think alot of Producers and creative peeps be it digital or Video suffer from the i need more gear or Computer power syndrome. The reason for this is simple, Technology and its creative advertising is always at our head telling us to make that great next purchase which is going to improve our creative prowness, when in actual fact it never really does. I learnt this very quickly as i have spent over $40k on my studio, i am very proud of it, but does it help me with my music creativity the answer is no, but does it give me an orgasim, yes! Especially when i pull the rug of which keeps the dust away and see all that great gear smiling at me! For the record i dont have that much gear! Have an MPC 2500, Nord Rack x 2. Virus TI, Foc Liquid Mix, Korg Triton, Roland Juno G and the original Mini Moog, i mean the Actual Dr Moog Original all still working! All this connects via a Foc Audio interface, i run a very simple SL Novation Midi and all powers to IMac! I have other bits of gear, LCD Screens and a shitload of Dj Gear and so on! Is it special, very much so, but my point is this.... the kid down the street is operating his Laptop with Reason 3 on a pentium 4 and is pulling great mixes in his do it in all one Box setup and has not spent a sent as his friend lent him a craked copy....What it is...is that as a producer in your mind you are always being critical and may think your music sounds like junk, and the remedy to this is to buy another bit of kit thinking this will improve your skills! It may improve a hole in your POCKET but not your skills B. Anyways enjoy making beats and live it up! I am and will still continue to buy the next bit of gear because i can! Do i need to NO, sometimes i dont even use it, i swear that i have had my Nord Rack for 1 year and have not even heard its presets.....LOL [/QUOTE]
