hmm. for me, having to much stuff around me makes it difficult to work with
any of it. it just becomes a distraction. I recently was forced to slim
the heard in order to buy a new sampler (mine took a crap) and though I
sometimes miss the things I've sold (I sampled the hell out of everything)
It's nice to have a little more space around me to breath and just have less
to deal with and complicate my feeble little mind.
However, if I had time to hang out and learn a bunch of software or hardware
and make a crap load of odd noises...I'd sure as hell do it.....for a
while.....for a while......
maybe I wouldn't though. It'd be nice to just have a few things that do
what they do really well and then just make it do what I want. a micro
studio...
blabbering on and on
