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.
