I’m doing No Gear New Year and I cut this:
Down to this:
I’d reached a point where I didn’t;t even want to use any of it.
Still haven’t had time to put together much coherent output, but I have removed:
- Option paralysis
- MIDI chain hassle
- Cabling nightmares
- Guilt over kit I don’t understand or use
- General apathy toward music
- Quite a chunk of debt
- Almost certain electrical overload
The bar is much lower now for turning everything on and starting work. No more wondering which of the 10 synths to turn on or why there’s no sound coming out of the complex routing. Plus aesthetically it’s a big improvement. I’ve had quite a few pleasant 1-2 hours sat here marvelling at the depth of these 3 boxes and starting to learn them a bit deeper.
Plus I still have a few of the other synths in the first picture for when I need a shake up. Gotta keep the GAS at bay…
