So, what's going to have you reaching for your wallet in 2014?

Definitely an audio interface, possibly one or two condensers, and a nice Bach 4G trombone mouthpiece.

Nothing - I'm spent, broke and financially exhausted!

But luckily, after spending WAY TOO MUCH MONEY on things, [mostly VSTs], I truly feel I have all that I need and more - much more - way more than I need.

I've decided not to buy anything musical anymore, and start using what I already have. I really do have enough of everything.

I may even sell off some stuff, as I have caught myself impulse buying in the past, only to not even use some stuff afterwards.

To answer the OP's question....breathing....that alone makes me open my wallet

DeeringAmps - I'm with you in sentiment. I think I've maxed out on how much software my brain can process and still put cycles of time into being creative and productive.

That said, everything I've picked up in the last year or two has put me light years ahead of where I was in terms of capabilities, technique, and production quality. So I guess I'm going to keep looking with great interest at the new versions that will be coming out.

The big ticket item for me now that I'm saving my lunch money for is a set of high quality monitors. Pretty much decided on KRK VXT8s.

Some decent orchestral scoring libraries geared toward getting massive quick results.

Currently looking at Symphobia or Sonokinetics.

Hmm, may have to ask some questions around here if anyone's using either or both of these.
I need some serious muscle in this area and pretty quickly too.
