See what fellow synthesists think about synthy topics: www.youtube.com/@IanWaugh/community

This is a very well thought out point. I’ve oftentimes thought that we should consider the time we can spend being entertained by scrolling through presets and settings. Well said!

Cheers, Mastt. It's not always about making music 😊

The way I see it is that when it comes to your interest that is money well spent. We live in such amazing times in terms of music technology and could have never got our hands on e.g a mellotron or a b3 back in the day. There is the artistic side of plugins as well.....they look cool....so in a way you are buying a bit of art or you can appreciate the design. We could probably do all our music on Synth1.......but GAS makes the world go around

Heck, I think you've totally demolished the argument against G.A.S. 😄

In addition to a few hours of entertainment, which is valid in its own right, there's also the possibility of learning something, or being inspired by a particular sound. Plus the process of finding your way around a new piece of soft gear is good brain exercise!

@IanWaugh 6 ай бұрын

Hi Barry - Yes indeed. My main reason now for getting new stuff is the never-ending search for inspiring sounds 👍

Wait. I don't drink beer. So if I had drunk beer regularly since I turned 18, I would have spent an absolute fortune on it. I can now spend this all on synth gear/software instead! Thanks Ian! 🤪

I agree and most of my purchases in life have been bought using this philosophy. Not really bought much since Black Friday. But SSL Flexverb and Delay pops up at £40 the pair - why not. Do I really need yet another reverb and delay - a resounding NO. But as you say its something that will deliver joy infinitely longer than the equivalent value of a takeaway and a couple of beers that will be forgotten by next weekend. Hardwear has been limited however by running out of physical space for me and the gear in the same room. Not eating and just buying software is slowly opening up possibilities on the hardware side too. So a win win!! 😂

good way of looking at it. Ian, you have some hardware space on the top shelf of your stand get a bit of hardware GAS. What is the claw thing for? back right, to clip camera in?

I bought so much "bargain" software that I never even downloaded that I had to put a halt to it.

2023 was a successful year for me in that I managed to go the whole year without purchasing one piece of equipment. I wonder if I shirked the discipline when I celebrated by selling one guitar, getting a successor and also grabbing a new pedal processor. I would be well served not to get anything else through the remainder of the year. Question is: will I? Do you feel better served to get a pint of beer for £8, Ian - or that software? The pint’s entertainment pales by comparison.

@IanWaugh 6 ай бұрын

It does indeed although it is usually accompanied by friends and that's difficult to put a price on. Although I probably could if pushed... 😊

You can (and probably do) share the music you make using that plug-in with those same friends, don’t you, Ian?

This video is dangerous indeed. If I skip going to a Taylor Swift concert (in a good seat) I can buy me a Eurorack modular synth! On the other hand, I'd never, _ever_ go to a Taylor Swift concert...
