Oh, maybe there was no cap then, and I just had some seriously bad technical luck. I started combing Beatprt at around mid 2009, when I was ambitious but broke, so I'd ship all my tracks to my hold bin when my crate was full. I noticed one day that the quantity of my hold bin wasn't changing, despite adding to it from my cart; it was stuck at some specific number like 173, or something. That's when I decided I needed to create separate accounts if I want to keep crating, which to date has taken me to four.
Relatedly, yeah, I haven't recorded a mix since I sold all my gear for Christmas presents three years ago. Once you unload your entire workstation, it's difficult to financially and psychologically motivate yourself to invest into an entirely new setup (especially if you don't want to take a step back in quality). I still buy out a small amount of my crate and hold bin, but really, most of my music just sits there for if and when I get around to mixing it.
I search the hard way of going through every single sample of all the genres I'm interested in for every single month, and while I know you disagree with this method from a productivity standpoint, it's left no stone unturned, and me with a crap ton of great music I'm sure I would have otherwise missed. Do you ever actually wonder what you would do with all that (what has become) back catalogue music if you suddenly decided to buy it all? I think I'd be too overwhelmed with options to sort it all out into a mix I was totally satisfied with.
