Channel Update: I decided to leave.

[@discerninglight1998]

I think it was essential for you to go through the journey of buying gear and realize you weren't using it to discover what really lights you up and how you want to play. I love your sense of humor and candid self expression! Wishing you and your wife a smooth transition into your new place and happy new home.

[@sonofaglitch]

I was sad at first, you got me. Thanks for inviting us into your home and showing us around. =D

[@whitneyshively8674]

Man you totally got me. I was genuinely sad and after you revealed the koke as you were giving the tour I realized it wasn't just because I value your advice and knowledge but because you are one of the most interesting and (dare I say) genuine people I've never met. Hope you can appreciate my purposely upside down phrase there. Thank you for being you, sharing your knowledge and for not really leaving us. 👍💪

[@AnnularFrisson]

Thanks for this brave complete honesty. There is shame associated with this that we tend to hide. You are not alone!

[@joebanta9342]

Michael, the whole GAS community appreciates you man! I know I certainly do. You’ve saved me a ton of money with your suggestions- instead focusing on the music itself. Wish you and the wife a great future.

[@echokarma]

Thanks for not leaving man. I found you recently but you are one of the best channels outhere. Keep up the good work!!!!!

[@DarnKatarn]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Thank you for going strong and helping our community.

[@Ambientnauts]

One of your best videos you have a great smile. Removing burdens and obstacles feels liberating!

[@alkaiosmusic]

Michael, thank you for all your work. You are something like a beacon of alternative ways of thinking electronic music production in this sea of KZbin. This consumer based music niche needs people like you. I think yours and Red Means Recording are my favorites channels today. Jeremy also cutted a lot of crap and bull sh*t in his own way.

[@tylerparker9838]

Seeing your "warehouse" made me glad I wasn't the only one 😂 Thank you for not actually leaving us

[@angrybuzzy]

Holy moly! You scared me thinking you were leaving! Thanks for all your work and insight and a view into what it's like to make this happen.

[@wicky4473]

You are an invaluable service! Glad you’re sticking with it.

[@NathanaNobody]

I almost cried I really thought GAS was gone, I am happy for you and glad, you've always been a good teacher

[@maomallows]

You got me good. I started to feel really sad. I hope your next step in life goes well Michael. Take care!

Yup, you got me! xD So happy that you're still around and making these videos. Hope the move goes well!

[@GatotAlindo]

Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone. What a relief! I am looking forward to watching the new chapter of your KZbin post.

[@live4movie]

Man, I'm really glad this is a joke video! I had a story like this happen to me in real life, in a bad way. I had to literally run away from home and leave everything I had collected my whole life there. My house was very similar to yours, filled with music equipment, instruments, cameras, lights, game consoles and so on. That's why I was really touched by your video! Now I only have a guitar and a 25 key keyboard, that's all I could take with me when I left my home country, I'm afraid forever. I'm from Russia, the situation there is horrible, since 2022 this country has definitively become a fascist dictatorship. We have been protesting against the dictatorship since 2011, but did not succeed, unfortunately. Sorry for the off topic.

[@ledetmusique]

[@playpm]

🫂

[@lifeofnacchi]

I almost believed it, and thank you for not deciding to leave KZbin. Otherwise it's a really emotional video, if you don't go through a phase where you record videos on a kitchen table, in the heart of the room you live in I don't think you can really understand how difficult it can be sometimes. Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment. I wish you the best ❤

[@Fusion_1994]

Thank you Michael for your great sense of humour, enjoy the new steps in life!

[@reviewerman9786]

As long as you're just leaving this space, you have my blessing

[@hugoalvarado832]

Buying gear to fit a mental layout has been my worst GAS addiction. My Children came to visit and all we needed was a guitar and a phone... Thanks for sharing!

[@AndrewLagowski]

Had me worried for a short while there 😮 Good luck with your onward journey!

[@jessejohnson7591]

I love PlayPM! I am glad to see you are just moving to a new llocation.

[@LosRes]

Man you had me goin there for realz! thank you brothah for sharing your journey with us....we are soOoOoOOoOOOoOO messed up, but we are not alone, and thank you for bringing us all here...then a noticed when this vid was posted thanked youtube for the time travel..in the future you still make vids and they still really help, teach and inspire. :)

[@r0bophonic]

Wow that intro was a gut punch! I was so bummed when you said you were leaving. Glad you were only joking! I really appreciate your vulnerability and sharing your GAS backstory. All the best to you and your wife in your move!

[@acfpv]

Fooled me as well. Lovely video still. There is something so fundamentally true and human watching and hearing you smile, chuckle and say “man….we are so messed up”.

[@lmy7563]

Thank you man! You are amazing Good luck with moving everything!

[@iamsimonmorris]

Yhsnk you sooo much for all the work you have done. i cannot wait for all the NEW content.....

[@YetAnotherPirat]

Thank you so much for your videos! You helped me a lot to see the real value of simple gear. Hope to see you soon in new videos after the movement!

[@IoOrganism]

Well thank god you're not ending the channel. This is one of the most valuable gear related channels on KZbin. And I definitely understand the "out of sight, out of mind" unused gear phenomenon. I've got an EWI, electric guitar and MPE controller that often go unused, But I've found that having them plugged in and within reach does help remind me to use them more. And I thankfully found a great multi-FX plugin that reduced my plugin acquisition syndrome and helped teach me that modifying boring sounds saves me a ton of money vs buying more plugins/gear to keep things sounding fresh. 😁 That'd actually make for a great GAS Therapy topic; How to make cheesy/bland sounds more interesting. 😉

[@playpm]

Definitely will do one in the future!

[@saintpatricio]

Thx for no leaving!!!!!!! Congratulations for your new apartment!!!

[@krs227]

Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@dustinbuchheister4665]

That was a dirty trick! Bahahaha. Totally fell for it. So glad you are sticking around. Much love.

[@harrisonjames28]

Duuuude you got me. I was so bummed for a second. Congrats Michael, I hope the new place suits you well!

[@Boumclap]

Dude very cool video, and kinda touching. INostalgia leaving your appartement and exitement to start fresh, i fell that 100%. Wish you the best !

[@jinXeD546933]

Your voice, vibe and honesty to yourself is filling me with calm. Thank you

[@Punk_Mayhem]

Just wanted to say and let you know “eff you GAS! You enlightened prick! Literally had my blood pressure going up!” Eff you! Love for both you and the Lady, live eternal in happiness! ❤❤❤❤

[@GareyKennebrew]

You (We) are not alone for sure. Gadgets and Gizmos everywhere. You told my story in this video... Thank You!

[@djshanz8585]

You almost made me cry, just when I just discovered your channel

[@martinausdeutschland]

It's so nice to see you laughing about all your gear. 🙂 And, yes, you are not alone...

[@danielfue3445]

I was gonna punch my monitor not seeing you make new videos. Hope your move goes smoothly!

[@anjovimusic]

lol! you had me worrying. Good luck with the new home! and keep making those fantastic videos! Good on you for committing to clearing up the mess, might just be the spark you need (or the unweighing of crap) to get into a better creative headspace!

[@Crazyfistish]

This is so lovely, thank you for sharing these nice moments in your life!

[@JoeCarterDesigns]

your channel has been a blessing to me, man. thanks for all the hard work. hope the new location is inspiring!

[@michaelday341]

The boxes - oh man, I saw that and thought, "Yep, I'm the same." Add in books, too - I have so many books. One of these days I'm gonna leave it all behind. (Great video.)

[@randallhaney7909]

Yup you got me ..Happy for you and good luck in your new place

[@seedmole]

Very relatable, as I sit here in my version of your Warehouse room, full of boxes from all sorts of hobbies, ranging from videogames to music to camping gear, two guitars sitting out on stands, a nektar keyboard sitting somewhere, etc etc.

[@Fecho33]

I don’t know how I found that first video of yours I saw about replacing the sp404 with koala sampler… your videos helped me to save tons of money and space at home and to reconnect with the joy of making music not “the joy of buying gear”…. I’m in a very productive moment as musician and I only use an iPad, a MacBook, mini midi keyboard and some headphones. Thanks bro.

[@MiltonGrimshaw]

All the best with the move, I hope you have time to come back as soon as you are settled in. I get your gear obsession, I too suffer this!

[@Yougggg9899]

for the people who are not given the resources to create and express themselves, given any sort of knowledge, especially like the one you provide on this channel is not only heartwarming but inspiring for my own creative endeavors. Thank you for the plug ins and everything you do man!!!!

[@RenatoVargas]

You are a great person and we are lucky you were just messing around, because we love your channel man. Great vibes for you and your wife man!!!!

[@hugovogels5588]

Thanks for all you're doing !

[@seoverus7805]

With your level of High IQ humour & healthy sarcasm I just KNOW we would be best friends If we could meet. Bon Voyage to the next level of satire.....

[@domin2]

You trickster boy!!! Thanks for not leaving!!!

[@BrianWilliamsTheEngineer]

This comment saved me from crying

[@kehmosabe]

this comment is the spoiler for the video 😅☺️

[@_mickmccarthy]

So happy that you're sticking around, love your content!

[@GerliRodrigo]

Wish you the best in this new story!

[@LachieMcg]

Your chan has been so useful, entertaining and has changed my perspectives and helped me with gas. Enjoy mate, from central Victoria, Australia

[@ceciliafbrown373]

You had me at first!!! Thanks for all you do Michael!

[@WarrenPostma]

Hey Michael. Blessings and safety for you in your next place.

[@danithecake]

Thx Michael! These little room tour actually made me feel a little bit closer to you as a person and gave a new angle to look at your previous videos because they mean so much more to you. Good luck with your move! 🍀

[@playpm]

Now you know that I tried my best to not to spread the my desease 😄

[@LotusEater14]

You really got me in the first half... haha. Thank you for your amazing videos. You're an absolute gem

[@Audio_Fetus]

New follower and fellow sound maker. Love your videos. Best of travels along your way to your new place (in life)

[@joejoyce8173]

love the relaxed and honest video as always, refreshing :)

[@kyanstack]

I love you bro! You make me feel not alone.

[@guyug6940]

You got me, I completely fell for it😂 Glad you’re staying!

[@Bomtoi]

First it was the saddest video and then one of the best videos in your channel. Very relatable. My storage is full of empty boxes of gear for years as well. I think I should go through everything I have and see whether I really am using it. Wish you guys a peaceful move and good vibes in the new place!

[@SimonTheMagpie]

❤❤❤

[@WayneParker]

You got me bro 😅 Glad you're sticking around 🙂

[@Yodigadee]

I love this channel so much, I would be so sad if you left!!

[@Soundtrackloops]

Looking forward to a new chapter in life.

[@Bixogrilopazeamor]

You got me as well!!! So glad you're staying, Michael, and your warehouse is soooo relatable! 🤣 Good luck with the move and the new home, to you and to your wife! Keep up the good work!

[@Imseeking]

You got me. You got me good. It’s really helpful having someone on this platform that wants to help others with their own expertise. Glad to hear you are going to stay longer.

[@playpm]

No, we do it for money, only different approach 🤫

[@Imseeking]

@@playpm gotta respect that though.

[@DHGagnon]

Michael, good luck with the move!

[@jansears4380]

Have a gear yard sale😂😂. Love it! Gas Therapy has so much GAS!!! Thanks for your kindness and comic relief to this crazy hobby we signed up for!! Best of luck with your move!😊

[@AndrewJohnClive]

“They all have their own graveyard”…😊❤❤🙏🏼

[@krazywabbit]

After seeing the “dark side of the moon”, props to your wife for not leaving you.

[@playpm]

That's a hard decision indeed 😋

[@spectralknights2]

Same as me it's still in their boxes and never used it, yet 😆

[@summerlaverdure]

You totally got me XD I'm glad youre not leaving!!!! I love your channel it's really cool and it helps me a lot, congratulations and I hope your move goes well!!

[@starimajur]

Hey man, I really enjoy your videos. You are not alone, I too spend hours and hours of my life watching gear tutorials and videos that I might not ever use and I also constantly look for the next new piece of gear that will make me a better musician instead of practicing.

[@playpm]

Don't forget to get out of your comfort zone and practice something new, you know what I mean 😆

[@MatthewJohnHunterMusic]

I love this video. The (perhaps not entirely surprising) plot twist that all along you have been a gear obsessed lunatic who never uses the mountains of gear you have acquired is a deeply refreshing one. I mean, how could you be anymore likeable?

[@carlosog5041]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You got me good! I was feeling sad for you leaving the community, and then you switched it up! Kudos to you Micheal and well played! 😂👏👏👏

[@quantumlab9130]

I think every musician has to go down the rabbit hole of buying gear, either cause your not skilled enough yet and want to seem better than you are of because you think more gear will make you more creative. Then only to realize you didn’t need any of that stuff at all. And that’s what I love about this channel it tries to help people not get lost in the gear and to find free work around that let you play with all the fun stuff without having to make the mistake of buying and then realizing you never liked it in the first place. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

God bless you and your wife on this new turn in you life. 🙂🙏🏻❤

[@johnfranklin9521]

It's well funny that you've had an entire room devoted to stuff you've told us that we don't need. Not hating, it just made me chuckle. Thanks for your videos man, great stuff, super informative. Good luck in the move

[@Satwamassive]

You are not alone!

[@batshapedheart]

Dude, you're human and you, like us, also have the intent of getting over GAS. You are one of us! I for one feel in good company!

[@soulsimulatorproject7416]

I recently discovered your channel and it's amazing. Your work is one of the very few that is not praising into newest gear, trying to lure people into buying, like all the other synth and music blogs. Keep up the great work! Sorry for my broke english.

[@playpm]

Don't be sorry, someone even make series of videos on yt with broken English made you watching! 😋

[@salpedroza8984]

You are cool man. Thank you for all you do.

[@objectiveobserver2792]

You are not alone. Thanks for your channel therapy

[@mongarcia01]

I like that the GAS Therapy guy provides evidence of self-inflicted GAS.

[@walterjojola5600]

Literally best, most real video I’ve ever seen

[@floatingsuburbia]

Might be your best video yet! We all have a room or space with unused gear. Be honest with yourself and let it go.

[@dustyaudio]

Thanks for this one, truly was not expecting that “warehouse“ of gas therapy gear. I believe you are qualified on the subject even more now!

[@BoBeats]

Damn, you got me with that title and intro! 😆

[@playpm]

It's a great season to move 😄

[@BoBeats]

@@playpm hope everything goes well! just settling in my new place

[@salmanmsaeed]

I love you sir please never leave.

[@edgardocrespo3840]

A beautiful house, congratulations.

[@fernandoortegacomposer]

I absolutely LOVE your videos, you got me! I was so sad!

[@croolis]

For a moment I thought you had found a way to make your videos without you ;) It would have been in keeping with the general theme of the channel. Onwards & upwards and thanks for all the great videos!

[@playpm]

That's a great idea, and I'm actually planning on things like this slowly 🤫

[@audiocoffee]

you had me there for a moment.... but yeah, us gear collectors, we're an understated bunch. thank you for making me feel 'tidy' 🤣

[@RuthlessMojo]

If you purchase something with the intention of using it and don’t it means that it didn’t speak to you. Some would call that procrastination but I think of it as visionary. It means your searching for something else. Something better. It has been the hallmark of genius for some of our greatest minds.
