Never Act Like U Know All
Yup. Space, clutter, electricity & organization. My wife walked in the studio one day and said: "Do you use half of this stuff?"
Immediatley like any men out there, I was instantly defending my gear.
But then I thought. Hmm, well, I dont use that planet phat anymore, or the S80. Then I went down the list of stuff to get rid of:
AKAI:
S2800
S3000
ALESIS:
qsr
dmpro
ENSONIQ:
mr-rack
mirage
ROLAND:
u-110
d-110
jv-880
jv-90
jv-1080
mc-303
xp-30
jw-50
s-330
dr-550
dr-660
r-8m
YAMAHA:
sy-77
tg-55
tg-500
s-80
tx802
tx81z
So after getting rid of stuff. I figure I save about $60 on the monthly electric bill (cause I never turn stuff off), free'd up space in racks, I kept the main essentials:
Romplers
Fantom XR rack, MOTIF ES rack, Triton
Analog Synth:
Virus TI rack
Digital Synths:
Korg M1 Rack
Roland JD-800
Sampler:
Gigastudio 32 DAW
Well, I guess it was my top 6 synths, not 5 like the title said ( you cant edit a title LOL)
Yeah, I miss stuff, like the JP-8080 but thats ok. I just wound up keeping my 7 most important items. Theres nothing (IMHO) like gigastudio. After pressing buttons on akai samplers, and my triton, theres something to be said for using a mouse when truncating samples
Besides, I sampled most all my drum sounds on the fantom, triton and motif on the gigastudio DAW. Makes things nice and easy.
It is actually more fun these days in the studio now things are streamlined.
Cheers
