(New) Christmas Gear
View this Thread in Original format

So I'm interested in hearing if anyone got any new gear for Christmas. I got a new M-Audio 49 Key Midi Keyboard + Pro Tools. What did you get?

I have a fair Christmas story to share. I was using a purchased Reason 6 for my productions the last few months.

2 weeks later my Access Virus arrives and I realise the only way to get the most out of it is to use a VST enabled DAW, aside from that I was getting pressure from one or two of my knowledgable mates that if I want to make some serious tunes, VST and a good synth to build on like the Virus is the way forward.

So after twiddling with Cubase 6 Elements trial and my Virus with its VST integration, I realise going back to Reason is futile, and no way in hell am I going to rewire Reason into Cubase and produce music like that!

So I decide to put in up ad for my copy of Reason 6, the same day some dude is interested, and offers me just enough money for it so I can buy a copy of Cubase 6 Artist!

Now that was a sweet little swap wouldn't you say? Not really new gear but hey I guess a new DAW counts just as much :happy2:

Anyway that is my cool Christmas story, hope you enjoyed it, bro's.

Oh yeah forgot to mention I have also ordered myself a copy of Battery 3 from NI. Seems like a really good sampler/groove making device.

Only crap thing now is I have to wait for it in the post to SA, so using Cubase's Groove Agent one now and their limited sample packs.

NI Traktor Kontrol S2. Im so psyched to explore the possibilities of using it in my productions. If I can DJ very well with a Oxygen 25 key (mk1 lol) then I bet I could produce awesomely on some dj-gear. Awwwwwwyeeeah

My Christmas was all about the iPad. But, I also got my son a djembe and a tambourine to add to the percussion collection.

Not trying to hate bro, but why would want protools?

Bunch of stuff from my boss

Blofeld
Tetra
Sony tablet

Probably pass the junk to someone else.

Did not get myself anything. I honestly could not think of one thing music related.

bought back a Slim Phatty after I sold my previous one (BIG mistake)
Bought back a Voyager RME, after I sold my Electric Blue, again BIG mistake soundwise, but i prefer rack formfactor where possible in my studio

on top of that:
FM8, Massive & RETRO Machines in the NI sale
DCAM Synthsquad
some soundsets

REFX came through with a nice update of NEXUS x64> ThnX REFX
D16 is about to release thier 64bit verisons > ThnX D16
Steinberg released Wavelab 7 x64 > ThnX Steinberg

Good value out of my previous software purchases :D
