Are you destined to become a failed wannabe music producer?

Yeh there is alot of truth in that, but you can also burn alot of time trying to coax sounds out of gear that just cant do the job. Its fine balance between a broad sound palette that you can still usefully work with and a simply too much stuff to get anything done.

Im very much coming round to the view that the ideal core setup is a decent rompler, drum machine, very good and flexible VA (ie virus ti at the moment) and a real analog synth. Not sure that the drom is quite characterful enough to be that real analog - maybe sunsyn, code8 or voyager. Anything on top of that is the occasional and/or simple to use stuff or a synth that does something really unqiue - v-synth for eg.


BTW - what do you keep your virus B for?

I got used to it
I am actually thinking to sell it and get something else but honestly nothing catches my eye.
