Gear lust

[fragments]

Actually think people would be better served starting on simple hardware. I know it is more expensive and far more limited, but in fact, those are pluses. There are many other pluses as well. Learning compression by turning knobs will get u a lot further than reading about it on a forum and watching some type of graphical display on a vst, but whatevers. There are many paths up the mountain.

Even a new Electribe + monitors would be cheaper than DAW/Interface/Monitors? Some kind of groove box like that would pretty much let someone write a whole track if they got creative.

^ downside of hardware, the cocksucker that stole my er-1 and es-1. Much harder to steal software

People fetishise gear. I don't. People talk about 'retail therapy'. I have the opposite. I have 'retail depression'. After I've bought something for couple weeks I'm like 'Urggh...'. For me owning a new instrument is a responsibility. I'm absolutely committed to exploring it so whenever it arrives there's a big job at hand.

That's the old school equivalent of whacking dBGlitch on the master

Rat bastard!

@Squarepusher quote: That is another reason to love hardware. For me at least, I never felt an obligation about like that about a software program (beyond my DAW). For whatever reason it's very easy for me to buy a piece of software and never learn much about it. Buy a new box, bet your ass I'll explore the shit out that thing.

Have heard bad things. Not good bad things, but bad bad things. But what do I know, never really heard it!

I can confirm that after a certain amount of encouragment from myself, my friend has purchased the DSI Tempest. He should have it tomorrow...



I'm gonna sample the shit out of it as soon as he gets it...

Upload when you do?

I want a drum machine, got a few possibles. Don't know if I could justify parting with that much for the tempest at the moment, it does look amazing though!

EDIT: watching a few videos now, becoming much more justifiable...

And here we have a classic example of gear lust in action



Was it in this thread deadly talking about square? Really is a major bummer bringing new gear into your setup. With that said, still need a mixer and 4track reel to reel. Accepting donations in the bay area.

[mthrfnk]

How many people use outboard gear such a comps/limiters or exciters? If so what do you have and what are your views?

I'll make a little sample pack for everyone yeah.

I purchased a Roland TR-505 a couple of months or so ago because it was cheap on eBay. It's currently at circuitbenders getting modded: http://www.circuitbenders.co.uk/drummachine/TR505.html

It'll turn an otherwise pretty limited rompler drum machine into a glitchy dream.

I wouldn't exactly call it 'lust', but it's pretty exciting...

Sounds interesting and cheers in advance for samples.

Have possibly got a drum machine on the way, if deal goes ahead will post pictures and some samples. Excited!
