Hello,

if u go to

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/database

and then in Gear
u will find it already :-)

indeed u don't need tons of gear to make nice music
it is just nice to have them :-))
gear lust is called ...
and the big studios have (of course) to show off too !

besides if u have only 2 or 3 good ones u can also
concentrate on them and get out the best in a synth
rather then using 100s synths with presets.
i am often tempted to sell all and keep just 2 or 3 PRO things
but when i look at my studio .. boy ! i just can't sell anything
i adore them all in one way or another.

Peter Gabriel once said (at the time of Passion)
.. most of the thing can be done by anyone at home
.. it is only when u look
for that "special" last touch that u need the pro
stuff (and i recall he meant eventide, top lexicon , AMS etc etc)

Nowadays with few K$ or Keuro u can set up a super pro recording
studio at home, with a super sound.
.. but never forget the old golden rule
.. it is not the gear is the head (and if i may add is the experience too !)

Regards

> Hello All,
> Please can everyone on this mail list, post what equipment and software they use in their studios including pc/mac specs.
> Now,with all this equipment and software, is it posible to do everything with minimal gear/software like just using a
an150/an1x/an200,or just reaktor/reason.The question I am asking is that why are home/pro studios so full of gear,is their a need
for it? Is there anyone on here that keeps buying lots of software/outboard gear, and not knowing or have the time to learn to use
it.
> However,an euipment list would be cool....just for interest.
