I got given a PS3, it hasn't slowed my GAS at all. It is another distraction from actually making music though.EsmileZ wrote:i 've bought a PS4 that helped a lot slowing down my GAS

Out there, late in the night, in the shadows, there is always GAS lurking
Gladly I'm in a position of owning a lot of software and hardware... so most of the times this rule applies and kills GAS in a second: "Does it do something else than anything I already have?"
In 99.9% of the case the answer is no.

I wonder if gamers finish every game they buy, and fully utilize the multi player possibilities, before buying yet more games...

Although I don't have the money right now I have been spending a lot of time looking at websites and catalogs for new gear. In particular I have been looking at 7 string guitars...

Best thing to do, in my opinion, is stop listening to music, get off the blogs and forums.
I found at least for me, I never appreciated anything I had because I was too busy keeping up with what other people were doing or producing. I thought (subconsciously) that there was some magic preset or sound that was going to change everything.
I gave up on that and started building my own sounds and exploring the kind of music I wanted to make. Really disconnecting and tuning out has made me more productive and happier.

I never work online. Despite that, hate to admit it, but sometimes I feel the "essence" of my current album-in-progress-material pales in comparison to some stuff I made back in the day, with minimal musical knowledge, an old hardware rompler, all audio-cables, without MIDI. It's hard to point out that feeling that's missing, maybe it's the effect of incorporating MIDI and the workflow becoming more routine than a musically explorational trip. However recently, I feel like I might be getting back there.
But then there's always GAS.

I think the thing that may be missing is youth.

It's an expensive excuse (to make up for a lack of x,y,z) basically but it keeps the industry going It's all in balance somehow...Raddler1 wrote:I think GAS is a state which keeps the dream alive for people who aren't very good at making music.

I spent a shitload of money yesterday. The fame of those two synths better be substantiated.
