After a frustrating 4-month hiatus, I've finally put my studio back together. The new computer came a week ago and I've spent the intervening days in a marathon of installing plugins and a terabyte's-worth of sample libraries. The last component - speakers - arrived yesterday.
New beginnings. I've even let go of SONAR 8.5 and have only Platinum installed on the new computer. I can now complain about Breverb just like everybody else. As a long-time fan of Addictive Drums, I think I'm going to enjoy that addition, but will be sticking with familiar stuff - Superior Drummer and Kontakt - to start with.
Now I just need a project...
