Mac upgrade and Logic X.
 
I'd like to buy an acoustic guitar and a nylon string guitar.
 
That's it. If anything else, it'll be hardware.
 
You know, it's been months since I've bothered to even check for upgrades for my plug-ins. 
My Waves WUP ran out and I don't care.
I didn't even bother to install the free plug-in they gave for Thanksgiving.
 
The other day I was moving stuff to my new external HD, thinking that some of those would probably require re-authorization (like the IK libraries) and I'm not sure I'll even bother. Some other things like Dimension Pro and Rapture were on their last leg - the minute I upgrade Logic or move to a new Mac, I can't re-install or use them.
 

I have yet to verify whether or not I was affected by the iLok upgrade which took place months ago and whether my iLok plug-ins still work. One of my iLok keys isn't even connected to the hub.
 
And maybe because it's been so long, but it suddenly seems like so much of a hassle to keep up with all that stuff - especially considering how little I use most of it. 
 
So I'm doing the opposite - getting rid of as much as possible. I've already converted a lot of my favorite sample libraries to Logic's sampler's format and I intend on keeping that course. Besides that, use only the bundled stuff as much as possible. Or hardware.

The ARC 2 upgrade will be my first purchase @ $75 I feel it's a sound investment.



Well yeah ... duh!  Oh wait ... I guess you meant "prudent" investment. 




Lol...I just pulled the trigger (not the Slate Digital one) on ARC 2. That was easy the Babyface and Tone Beast will have to wait awhile.

Bapu - what - no lava lamp? I've got them all over the place - even two in my office! They have a great way of calming you and keeping you from choking people. :)
 
We need a Lava Lamp VST - something where the Lava would undulate to the music like an iTunes visualizer... THEN you would have it! lol
 
My new monitors were right at the end of 2013, so 2014 is a clean slate! For me, I was dithering on the Waves API or SSL and went with the API, which was the right decision for my music. Of course, I STILL want the SSL so I see that in my future.
 
First up is to sell a bunch of stuff on eBay and KVR (hoping they are up again soon!).

Just got a Macbook at the end of the year. Debating on Logic X. Let me know what you think of it if you do pull the trigger.

I bought the Komplete 9 update last month. I haven't bothered to install it yet.
 
All I really wanted was the latest Kontakt playback engine and to take a look see at Battery 4, but it can wait till I'm really bored with my new microphones.

When you get Kontakt the G.A.S. really starts with avengeance.
