Apar from the sheer enjoyment of collecting and using gear for it's own sake, I'm more and more comming round to the notion you can make world beating tracks with a laptop and headphones as long as your imagination runs free.

Thinking lately that the hardest resource to come by is imagination - my ceases up on me most of the time.

I think so too Richard. I also find it that the more stuff and gadgets I try to use, the harder it is to make something good.

I think its easier to be creative in a fish bowl than in the ocean.

Yes Fred, I keep finding this. Too many options leads to worse decisions in my own case. Also I find I forget important things when I have a wall of options.

I have some soft synths which have this selling point that you can layer many sounds all at once, which is fine, but honestly you can do just this by having say 6 instances of cuabse standard synths, but with more simplicity and precision and a proper flow in my mind of what is doing what (no lfo buried deep in a sub menu of a mega synth).

I'm never going to crit people who love gear, I love gear, but I personaly find I get bogged down with too much.

the main thing people keep forgetting to understand is you either got it or you don't. no matter what gear you have, you will make due with it and do something great pending if your talented or not. gear won't do anything but just get in the way of making good music. creativity lies within you, it's up to you to find it

Yeah, I found out the hard way, wont make that mistake again.

Am sure this vid has been posted in here before.

ive deleted everything on purpose. feels great, doesnt miss a thing. burned out a dvd with all my finished tracks as wav and gave to my parents to keep lol. this place can burn to the ground and the only thing that would hurt me is the loss of my vinyl.
