That coming from you...
Every plugin? No, that not - but I will freely admit that I easily purchase a dozen times the amount of plugins I might sensibly ever need - and I don't think I am much of a bigger plugin-slut than you.

I don't purchase every plugin, quite far from it. Do I test pretty much every plugin? Hell yes! That may give the illusion I have tons of plugins.. well I DO have tons of plugins but I do purchase selectively.
Well, I have this silly way of justifying my purchases: If even a single client had one of the plugins in a project.. then it has potentially "paid itself". Naturally this isn't a sane way to look at it as I sometimes end up being without a salary as the plugin ate all the costs. So yeah.. damn. Perhaps I am indeed "The Whale"?Every plugin?

Kilohearts is amazing, couldn't do without 'm. But yeah, i didn't need everything from the whole bundle, guess that was the gas kickin injens wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 7:23 pm I don't even have customers...
Like I said: I don't nearly purchase every plugin that comes out, but I DO purchase a lot nonetheless and it's certainly total overkill.
(I should really get at least rid of those I never use AT ALL such as e.g. Kilohearts' the Works and Izotope MPS (okay, I use Ozone now and then) )
The only cure is to put focus on something that doesnt make you think that you need that or another plugin/gear.rewrite history wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 9:28 pm The subscription model seems to be a perfect fit for those that tend to buy a lot of things on impulse.
And those who quickly get bored with their plugin libraries and are always looking for the next "silver bullet" plugin.
It may also be a perfect fit for those always looking for a creative spark through presets and other elements they might not have thought about before.
Even though you might be stuck with only a brand or two, it would also tame that itch you get every time you see the next "game changer" plugin, that is being hyped up as the next must have plugin.
There might actually be a useful need for the subscription model after all, besides a long term demo rental at an affordable price.
That's really what it boils down to. Making music and purchasing new plugins are two, mostly unrelated, and often conflicting activities. Buying a plugin gives you a dopamine kick and makes you feel like you're making progress, all while requiring no mental effort. You can get the same dopamine kick from finishing a track, but it takes more effort.Elektronisch wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 4:34 am The only cure is to put focus on something that doesnt make you think that you need that or another plugin/gear.
Make music. It works, trust me and make it only with tools you have - you will realise you dont need any of that stuff you think you need.
It is partly true, but if you only separate activities as BUY and Make Music.AdvancedFollower wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:28 amThat's really what it boils down to.
