I'm pretty much full of VSTs, although I'd love a replacement for Alchemy on windows.  I almost bought a granular-style synth for Christmas on sale, but after a day or two I decided I didn't need it.  I've got a lot of other stuff I haven't worn out (and I ain't programmed anything on Alchemy in a while, so...).
 
Now hardware.  That is another matter and no longer a sub-$100 impulse buy.

I'm pretty much full of VSTs,

 
I had to smile when I read that Alan.  :)
 
 
 

It can be a stupid viscous circle. I'm pretty much good for the moment. Waiting for a great sale price on the Pro R, but I can wait. Everything I got recently has been on my list for a long time, like over a year. I waste so much time looking at things, and the smallest thing has me doing it.
 
I picked up the Mini V Filter on the freebee, discovered I had an account with NI, and in it was the the auth codes for the Minimoog Original from years ago, but no download option. It's been update twice, but a sent a message to support. Having picked up the installer for Filter, I gave the demo a whirl. looked at reviews, They came back and with a link to download. Warned is was not supported on recent Windows. I had found that in the demo I couldn't map Breath controller in the midi mapping page, so asked them about it. They didn't reply, but I have a feeling this is why I never used the original from years ago. Guessing that hasn't changed and my interest fell. I wasn't even looking for a analogue type synth though, just wasted time faffing around with idea. This was just before Christmas.
 
Then there is a thread running about Cake vs Waves SSL, and it twist off into Softtube ProChannels, which I had ruled out for iLok reasons. Then I found myself looking into the option, watching videos. I'm good for PC compressors and EQs. I have three option for each. More time faffing and not doing. I have to learn sometime. 
 
I did a clean install while back and just didn't install half the list in the command centre for Sonar, nor Rapture Pro or Session. I don't need massive drop down menus to go through and faff with even more.  I can't say I'm at saturation point, because I don't have masses of things. But I am happy with what I have and have a range of good option. I'll add some bits over time, but things are a different perspective than before.

The other night I was adding a plugin and opened the Waves drop-down menu.  I bet 100 flipping plugins showed up.  I use about 10 of them. I'm not even sure what the other 90 do.  And that just Waves.  Recently I demo'ed a compressor that had been described as "drizzling cream" over the track.  It sounded so tasty I nearly bought it, but the truth is I didn't hear anything magically different than any of the other 150 compressors I have, of which I use about three. 
 
Am I saturated?  No doubt.  Am I buying anything new?  Absolutely not.  Period.  Except for the Valhalla Plate.  And Neutron by Izotope.  And Slate's Everything Bundle.  And just a few others.  Then I'll have everything I need. 
 
It's a black hole and I swear I'm not climbing down in that things again.  I'm not.  No.  Well, maybe unless Kontakt has another sale.

Dang, I thought this was going to be about a new saturation plug. I only have eleventy-four of them and was on the lookout for just juan more. 

 

I think I am at the saturation point as well.  I could probably write a really long article on my feelings about this.  No time though.

No time though.
 

Surfing the web for that final deal?

I'm hoping my plug collection will be worth more than I paid for them in 20 years. They are my children's inheritance.

Oh yeah.
