RGAS - Rapid Gear Aquisition Syndrome
RGAS - Rapid Gear Aquisition Syndrome Posted on: 12.04.2011 by Gloria Lemmel Please light one for my bank account. I've spent more since I got into controllerism (the last couple of months) than I have in 3 years. Can someone say Black Card Candidate? I can't. Too broke. I've gone through phases before where I spend large sums at once, but never in this quantity. I got a Kontrol S4, Odyssey Flight Case for the S4, Midi Fighter, Scratch Upgrade for the S4, Fluorescent Orange Control Vinyl, M-Audio Axiom Pro 49, Pro Tools 9, Ableton Suite 8, Novation Launchpad (kind of free from the parents [A Nice Gift I might Add.]), 8GB RAM, 1TB WD Scorpio Blue Hard Drive, Denon HP-1000 Headphones, A Shit Ton of Jasmine Tea (Not Sure Why, but it tastes and smells like...well...amazing.) and Shure SE215 IEMs. Like...What the Hell. What happened to my generally behaved spending habits... I'd assume that I'm also not the only one in this boat either, so along with lighting one for me, pour one for the foreclosed homies. | |
| Wallace Lawmaster 10.07.2012 | the NI Komplete Crossgrade is looking very tempting since it's the same price as last week's reduced price on Kontakt. But dang, Videocopilot released their 3D plugin with bunch of shaders, objects and materials for After Effects today too. Decisions. |

| Romelia Stankard 06.07.2012 | mail came today, already trying to decide what to buy next. the empty space and choices are maddening. |
| Wallace Lawmaster 06.07.2012 | God, help me, when I start making more money. i've recently picked up learning soundtrack composing and orchestral samples aren't cheap, lol. |

| Dorie Scelzo 06.07.2012 | I'm really happy that my RGAS for music seems to have gone away. Maschine + Pro Tools 10 + the few soft synths I'm using really seems like it's working for the time being. I'm sure I'll rue the day I can afford a better interface and hardware synths……but thankfully the high(ish) barrier to entry has me holding off on that one. |
| Katy Rufino 30.06.2012 | Okay, I'm sure I'm missing some stuff, but this has kept me busy on the Friday evening

Also because the walls and ceiling are thick. -I was believeing about buying Technics still, but I'm really happy with the STR8-150s. My only complaint with them is the color, which was an easy fix (okay not easy, but within my skill level) |
| Werner Bile 29.06.2012 | Thought I was finally done for awhile only to find my headphones cracking. So I've got from now till payday to decide between AIAIAI TMA-1s, Senn HD25s and A&H XD53s |
| Wallace Lawmaster 29.06.2012 | ah, I don't feel alone anymore. Just in this year alone, past six months, I have already gotten Orchestral Essentials Ensemble for Ableton Live, NI Maschine, Novation 25 SL MKII, NI F1 with case, case for X1, UDG case for control vinyl and ton of music. Spending been tight since I'm starting my own business. |

| Asha Kravetz 01.06.2012 | The real question to how infected you are is if you read through these lists and they all seem reasonable........ My list pales in comparison- LPD8 Add Mixer Add Midifighter Sell Midifighter Buy Macbook Pro Buy Numark NS6 Get rid of it after platter feels wonky (2 weeks. Store Return Policy) Buy DDJ-S1 Gig with it once at home, Get rid of it after another 2 1/2 weeks (Store return Policy) You should have seen the look on the dude's face after i came in for the 3rd time. Priceless. Buy Lighting Package (4 PAR38's and a little box and T stand) (still have it) Buy Kontrol S4 Buy Flightcase Gig countlessly and somewhat get over RGAS |
| Rochel Gleese 01.06.2012 | It easy to see how they get lost in the possibilities and it becomes eurocrack The z3000 looks great, I believe it's best to do what we've brh planned on one digital and one analog osc, analog filters is what makes digital sing. That's what makes Allen and Heath mixers so good |
| Marquetta Sarnie 01.06.2012 | I am only 17, but it looks like I don't realy know what I want... It has all started in July 2011: - 2x Denon DNS1200 (Didn't really know what to do with pitch fader) -Denon DNX 120 -cheap headphones September 2010: (Sold Denons) -2x Technics 1210mk2 (aww I miss them) -Traktor Scratch duo -Numark M3 November 2010: -add Kontrol X1 January 2011: (sold Technics) -DJM 700s -2x CDJ 200 February 2011: -Audio 2 DJ May 2011: -2x CDJ 400 August 2011: (sold Pioneers) -A&H xone DX September 2011: -Korg Zero 4 November 2011: -2x KRK Rokit rp6 g2 -HDJ 500 -DJM 400 December 2011: -DJM 700k February 2012: (sold DJM) -A&H xone 42 Now I am left with x1 and KRKs. What to buy next? |
| Dorie Scelzo 01.06.2012 | Since I switched back to 1200s……I don't want much. So…here's my experience with RGAS: 2004:
2005:
2006:
2007:
2008: nothing 2009: nothing 2010:
2011:
2012:
Honestly, I believe I should have just stuck with vinyl + cds. I'd have spent a lot less money chasing shit I wasn't really happy with. Right now, all I want is to eventually upgrade to a rotary mixer, upgrade my 1200s to m5gs, and focus on production hardware. Which is funny, because that's what I was saving up for in 2008 as well. |
| Romelia Stankard 31.05.2012 | I'm believeing about picking up something like this to start The osc look like they have a lot of possibilities |

I was reading the tiptop happy ending kit can usually power 6u- so if I get one I can add a set of rack ears later then throw it in that $15 Ikea rack. |
| Bunny Sockel 31.05.2012 | heres my RGAS since new years macbook pro 13'' i7 8GB RAM traktor kontrol s4 HDJ2000 KRK RP6 auralex mopads traktor x1 ipad running lemur and maschine which arrives soon |
| Rochel Gleese 30.05.2012 | I have the OSC303 which was a limited run, but I believe he's planning on making new ones just not with the same components. And Cyclonix Cyclebox the new Intellijel ones amazing Digital osc, love the sounds I've heard. Planning on getting PEG, Corgasmatron, Exit Strategy and happy ending kit to start off. Planning in 9u in the next two years, GF want be happy need a pay rise |

| Viviana Tarno 30.05.2012 | Bought a set of 1200s a couple of months ago, hoped to let the syndrome vanish with it. The result: --> I want to buy - a new mixer to replace the Dateq XTC, probably a Xone 22 - infinite new records - maybe even a DVS in the long run - ....maybe even a set of 1210s, as I really like the dark grey color of them. Wet dream for later, when I'm shit rich: limited gold edition Technics |

| Cristian Carmona 29.05.2012 | im too much of a hipster to have RGAS. |
| Birgit Gondal 29.05.2012 | Making plans to build a DJ Table, not quite so big as yours Xone but I have to pay for me and my girlfriends anniversary first and a holiday to the Dam! |
| Romelia Stankard 29.05.2012 | I'm making plans to build a modular synth. Fuck. |
| Buster Vanderhart 29.05.2012 | I was just browsing through this thread. Seriously guys, you all need help, haha. A couple of months ago I decided not to buy any new gear before I really have to replace one of my controllers. I had ordered a Launchpad, then a Kontrol S2 but I sent the stuff back right away. I realized that I don |
| May Artman 26.05.2012 | Heads up on some Memorial Day sales. Guitar Center - 15% off one item over $299 - MDAY15 Musician's Friend - 15% off one item over $199 - FREEDOM15 Pro Audio Star - 15% off - REDWHITEBLUE (these guys are also usually good about lowering prices if you call, could be a nice discount if anyone's looking to make a big purchase) If only I weren't so sure of a MK2 CDJ2000 around the corner (as I have been for over a year...) I'd finally get them. |
| Jerlene Jernegan 14.05.2012 | Kontrol X1.... That's it. But on my "To Buy" list: New studio monitors Proper headphones Another X1 Behringer CMD MM1 Sound card 16GB RAM SSD for MBP |
| Branden Wentler 14.05.2012 | Im kinda a gear slut myself but find researching and pricing more interesting than actual buying.
