that might be true for many. for me, some of these expensive oscs you mention look more interesting on their own than many complete synths out there
yes they are all awesome, definitively
you sold it? did i got it right, because you said āhadā
Itās simmering over just a little here and other users are getting distracted by it ā¦ so, letās do the disagreeing more agreeably etc (you know who you are), make it a pleasant thread and accept thereāll be various perspectives

Carry on gents
II think there is also a linked subject which is āmusical identityā and āmusic genre quest to contribute with his own signatureā
Itās not something everyone will attach importance. Because there few known strategy and personal goals.
I think the sea of possibilities can be an issue to human characteristics and Also goals and strategy. But it CAN forge, help to find his own signature.
You just have to know who you are, how you workā¦ because you are the first gear to know and it can take years to that and you change in Time which make things complicated.
Then some will tell you to know perfectly music genre history and study it. It CAN also make your goals more hard to reach if you put your expectations level to high/hard.
I know that very well.
With time, you CAN loose trust in yourself, canāt succeed in finishing tracks songs, forget the pleasure of the beginningā¦ and you need to find a way to get this back. Pleasure, envy is The most important gear. Protect your hears itās the most important tool.
Split your actions in different tasks regarding which part of your brain is required by it. Organise your Time to study new techniques, experiment, analyse new track you find amazing, mimic it for learning purpose it CAN lead you to personal tracks too. (40% of your time)
Make your tracks, your sound design, find melody who match bass idea, find bass who match chord progressions, take Time to find variations, transitions, idea for construction. Sometimes a loop with the good amount of modulations is not a bad things because sometimes you cant get a track from it and itās ok. (Last 60%)
Be satisfied and proud of your music.
Or be a salesman and donāt be shame of your crap.
Or be the chest master capable of both side.
Itās up to you. But the amount of gear and money you can spend will not gives you the answers to that. Itās just an extension of your brain, mind, heart and emotions.

Oh William that was quite poetic and therapeutic, while at the same time quite hypnotic. Are you trying to take over our minds? 
Very well put sir

I have āsome stuffā in my studio as well but I usually work with a reduced amount of synths / plugins in a certain phase of my productions. For instance at the moment I am working on a new techno liveset and EP where I only use my Analog Rytm and my Eurorack system. This is also due to transport reasons, I like to carry everything to a gig with my bike or by train. The last ambient album I made was recorded using Reaktor6, u-he repro-1 and my dsi pro2 synth. Nothing more. I like to dig deep into one synth or plugin and squeeze everything out of it. My problem is not GAS but the opposite: when I donĀ“t use something for a while I get very tempted to sell it.
Holding out for this to happen to the Rhythm Wolf

Iām happy with my setup and once SE02 gets delivered Iām pretty much done.
Only thing I will miss at that point will be a virus which I had twice and sold it when cash got short. Once I buy it will be my last pie
Just one moreā¦ No, just two more! I swear!
