Ma' Setup [Pic Heavy]

[GV1]

I *had* to much money. Refer to my thread on life vs. music. I've had enough of working online 24/7 and sacrificing my life being the prick that everyone hates because I work hard and earn a lot.

I'm dedicating my time into music. I'm not making enough money to pay the bills, and the rest of my time is dedicated to music. My family think I'm even more of a prick than they already did, but fuck them. My life.

Passion and dreams over wasting life infront of a computer screen chasing the illusion (being a producer)

I could just as easily say that to you? No offence dude but from the way you've even put out your phone and itouch on the keyboard in one of the photos and just talked about krk's as if they're expendable kinda suggests arrogance.

Also maybe people think you're a prick because....you are just a prick?

I don't care what you or anyone thinks about me. Their opinion about me counts for fuck all. I'm hated because I have money, I'm hated because I don't. I'm hated because I show pics of gear. I'm hated because I made myself a fortune sitting on a chair in my house with no help from the outside world. I asked my family and friends to borrow £30 when I couldn't even afford to eat, instead they forced me to sell my positions to Cash Converters for pennies so I could have a roof over my head. Then when I came into money, they hovered like flies and got offended when I told them to fuck off. That's why they hate me.

I don't have a care in the world for anyone with anything negative to say. You either like me, or you don't. Either way, I'm not arsed.

I'm sorry if I come across as an offensive dickhead. Those on here who know me, know that I've helped them in every way possible with anything they wanted to know.

Ha, people on here don't like seeing nice setups. The only two times I posted my setup, I got hassled both times. Thing is I built my studio over the course of 16 years using a theory I call Technological Detritus. Back when most people on here were very little...

They would rather just see someone with a cheap computer and Massive, maybe some monitors.

It's not the tools, it's what you do with it blah blah. Still, I prefer the hardware. I'm glad I kept all of my old analogue synths.

IMC(ontroversial)O

You're totally right.

It makes no difference whether you have a Virus or a Software Synth, if you're not a very good producer, then that's just the way it is. Whether you develop your knowledge and skillset on a soft synth or hardware it makes no difference. It just comes down to what the person prefers.

I'm willing to bet the first bits of gear you purchased you still use today, and probably will for life. Whereas software goes out of date, the synths will be around forever (so long as their kept in good condition and serviced).

Btw. Do you have images of your setup would love to see.

[benjam]

Very nice man could probably have gone in the studio pics thread though. Btw if anyone thinks this is extravagant check out the studio pics on gearslutz

The gearslutz pics are fucking amazing! Some real big and expensive setups on there. They drop thousands on a mixing desk like it's nothing.

Yes, I still have the first synths that I bought in the mid '90's. A Roland Juno-106 and a Roland MKS-70 which is the pic you see in my avatar.

You can see my last studio setup in the "post the pics of your studio" thread around page 54ish. I have just recently moved, so my studio looks different now.

[Depone]

I literally have very basic no gear!

To any 'haters'
It doesn't matter what you have, its how its used.

Good on you for investing in your stuff, but maybe try be a bit less 'showoff' about the possessions you have, A bit more humble. Because I too am well jealous! Sick setup

[Pedro Sánchez]

I thought you was in online marketing?, 3 phones = shotta.

[mitchAUS]

Thats so sick man. Looks like a fun place to produce. Fuck the haters.

[GV1]

I thought you was in online marketing?, 3 phones = shotta.

Lol, I am into marketing. I develop apps on all the 3 platforms, not so much iPhone anymore, more Android and I'm only just getting into BB.

[jrisreal]

O.O DANG YOU HAVE SOME GEAR

[B-Frank]

Too many jealous people here, seems to be a recurring trend on DSF as soon as someone posts a nice set up.

Though I must admit, if you can't produce, no amount of gear is going to help you churn out a big tune.

[billybuxton]

Some serious cash must have been spent on this
Is it all being put to use ?

I'll be honest. Up until recently no it wasn't. I was far to busy to even utilize any of it, literally no time. But I always seen it as an investment. I've had to refactor my schedule to pursue my passion, which has always been music and it's only recently that the gear is being used as it should. Some people see music production as a hobby, something to do in the spare time. Call me strange, but I'd live in front of Logic. Literally. Not for fame, or money, but purely because I enjoy producing music. There will come a time when the music I produce will be up to scratch, and on form, but it's going to take serious dedication. I always knew the time would come one day when I rekindle the old flame, which is why I spent the money I had on my gear.

[Mannyyyyy]

I'm super jealous just for one thing in your arsenal

that virus ahh such a sick synth

[jrisreal]

Too many jealous people here

with good reason

[deadly_habit]

isn't there a thread for this

looks nice and tidy, but with all that cash you should invest in some acoustic treatment as well

[Electric_Head]

I`ll take the virus off your hands.
Nice setup.
Money well spent

[Karoshi]

I never understand the negativity that goes to-ords people in threads like these, I love seeing awesome set ups, which this is

on my work computer so cant listen to your tunes GV1, so i cant judge on that, but people act like you arnt allowed this stuff if you aint a sick producer. never understood that mentality either.

[paradigm_x]

I'm not sure what all the H8t0r-Ade in this thread is about.


GV1 being able to afford a bunch of gear doesn't affect anyone here - it's not like he stole the money from you...

He worked hard, earned some money and spent it how he wanted. Good for him.

This.

FFS DSF. Grow up.
