Paul P Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The article is a good read and perfectly rational, which is why it probably won't encourage anyone to change. If I'm anywhere near typical, there can be a lot of history and emotional baggage behind the desire to acquire the next piece of gear. GAS is just the tip of the iceberg. Dealing with what's going on deep inside us is a huge undertaking, the work of lifetime. An infinitely worthwhile process with nothing to do with the studio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It's kind of funny - I bought a ton of stuff in 2017 and 2018, but really haven't this year. I can't really think of anything that I really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husker Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Of course this year, we're in the process of buying a new house and moving. That may have something to do with it. The upside is that I have a bonus room solely dedicated to a small home studio. (Does wanting something you would never be able to afford count? I want a 16 voice Moog One for a cool 8K) Edited August 28, 2019 by husker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
