Post by Eat Bass » Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:42 am

so i have a bit of spare cash. my upgrade eligibility for my phone is on march 18 and i plan to get the iphone. i could save my cash and get the iphone then, or i could wait till the iphone 5 comes out either this summer or october. if i do that maybe i can buy a new plugin or something :D

any suggestions? got 100 or so to play with. anyone try sausage fattener or is it a waste of money? also I'm looking at sugarbytes effectrix.


current setup

hardware - pretty solid in this department, i don't need much else i don't think, besides maybe some treatment but that will come.
- loaded 15" macbook pro quad core ssd etc etc
- saffire 6 interface
- fostex pm1 mk2's
- akai mpk25
- ultrasone pro 900s
- studio rta desk

software

- reason 6
- zebra2
- audio damage kombinat
- wow filter

Just my feedback I have a friend who upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the 4s and he says it's not worth it, the only part that's different is that talking thing, Sirrie or whatever.

Haha alright we'll have to agree to disagree. What about an interface, like something from Saffire? Once I know where I'm going to school next year (so that I know what situation I'll be in), a Saffire interface is the first thing I'm going out to buy, so that I can plug my guitar into my Mac and also get some monitors.

forgot to mention, i already have a saffire 6 :D

as far as plugins go, not really looking for new synths. i already have zebra2, logics synths - es2 and sculpture and reasons synths. i dont think i want any more variety than that, besides maybe fm8.

Hmmm so if you already have upgraded your mac's hard drive and RAM to the fullest then check out the PSP vintage warmer, I found it through the Kryptic Minds masterclass and I really like it.

hm, got an iPhone 4, my dad got a 4s however. While Siri, and the double processing power, is reallllllyyyy nice. But not worth another $200 to me, just my personal opinion.

Use your money to add something your setup is currently lacking - if you have 2-3 synths, do you really need another? I would spring for a field recorder, or something that helps me do something I can't already do with the tools I have.

I'm reading a book about music from a psychological standpoint right now, called Musicophilia: Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks.

It's really good/interesting, I'd recommend it.
