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. | |

I may just have bought an odyssey coffin case, a stand and a pair of Westone UM3X IEMs... not cos I need them, but cos I've always had problems with earbuds not fitting properly and falling out so I wanted some over the ear beasts. I believe triple driver might have been slight overkill, but I sure as hell won't hear anyone bitching about it. Or the bus that's about to run me over. Yet another thing I'd never have thought of if I weren't a regular on this site... Damn you DJTT!!! P.S. Anyone want to buy my kidney? |
| Loralee Erban 25.05.2011 | Hercules mp3 e2 which started this mess although mine isnt too bad to other peoples Korg nano pad, control and keys Another little 25 key keyboard Omnicontrol Traktor pro 1 Traktor pro 2 Ableton live which is rarely used Fl studio which is also rarely used Samplitude music studio which i used to edit samples Ipad with loads of apps Netbook for djing More ram External harddrives Shit loads of headphones etc.... |
| Bernardo Soileau 24.05.2011 | Did a little DJing about 10 years ago, about 8 years ago put the CD players in a box in the attic and sold the TTs. In the last few months I've gotten back in. RGAS hits really hard when you don't do your homework, haha Cortex HDC-1000, used once and put it back in the box. Numark Mixtrack Pro keystudio 49 (had this for a few months but never really used it) MPK Mini APC20 13" MBP T. Pro 2 Kontrol X1 Audio 8 now I just need some turntables and a new set of monitors |
| Kristofer Krauel 24.05.2011 | Packed up my decks 3 years ago due to my "boys room" being occupied by the mother in law. At that time i sold my Serato Scratch Live (best thing i'd ever owned at the time). Got the bug again in Jan 2010 and since then bought (and sold some of): Launchpad (sold) LPD8 (sold) Ableton Live 8 APC40 Reloop Digital Jockey (for Sale) Trackor Pro Kontrol X1 (sold) Midi-Fighter Traktor 2 upgrade Just made one more purchase 5 days ago...... S4! I put my RGAS down to trying to find a controller and software that suits my style. Hopefully that will settle down now!! |

I recently got back into DJing in the last six months (after having about 2 years off after selling my CDJ100s) So far I've only picked up a Mixtrack Pro + Traktor Pro 2, but I have a list........ At the top are a laptop stand & bag, but from there, the pricetags start getting bigger... As an aside, can anybody recommend a good bag capable of taking a Mixtrack/S4 + 17" laptop + headphones/random crap that is backpack style. I love the capacity of the DJTT bag, need a backpack! None of this manbag crap for me Let the RGAS begin.... |

| Gloria Lemmel 03.05.2011 | ..Well... I still bought more... I got a set of Pioneer HDJ-2000s coming in the mail. My Denons aren't working too great, and instead of doing what a regular person would by contacting the dealer, I just bought some HDJs for the relatively low price of $250. At least I didn't buy them from Pioneer directly, would have been at least $200 more. I'm also going to be broker than ever. I started an Ibiza fund in my bank account where 10% of each deposit goes into a set fund for a ridiculous trip to Ibiza when I turn 21. I'm really excited for it, but I know I'm gonna have to lay of quite a few late evening dominos orders. |

| Wallace Buchtel 26.04.2011 | I told my wife that after I get my new pair of Technics 1210 mk5, I won't purchase any more gear worth more than $500 in the next 5 years. I don't believe she believed me. |
| Celestine Porebski 26.04.2011 | Uh, virtual penis comparisons....awesome, I'm in During the last year (well, approximately, add another month, maybe two) I have bought: a pair of Yamaha HS80M speakers M-Audio UC-33e Akai LPD8 Novation nio 2/4 (which I have to sell eventually, but been way too lazy) Traktor Scratch Pro (+ the upgrade to TSP2 recently) Traktor Kontrol X1 Allen&Heath Xone:42 Sony MDR-7506 Korg Electribe EMX-1 and all that small crap which also adds up in the end: cables, USB hub, .... |
| Delila Vandommelen 26.04.2011 | I've been relatively conservative, slowly building up from am x-session pro to a full timecoded setup with two X1s but no "real " decks. Over the last year I have had very strong feelings towards Xone mixers and only didn't get a 42 cause I'd just sprung for tsp and decks. The price went up from around 670 |

| Lisa Lochotzki 25.04.2011 | OK I'm in to share my GearSlutz syndrom as well. In the past, us ol' vinyl DJ been used to spend cash on vinyl... now with pools and Beatport (and the likes) it's cheap... so the cash go out for the gear.. at least, for me. I begun using TSP 2 years ago. Since then, this is what I got in addition to my previous CDJ100+DJM600+EFX500+SL1200+CDJ1000MKIII Setup(s) Here we go: DJM800 Hercules MP3 e2 Mixtrack Kontrol S4 2X Denon SC2000 a spare CDJ1000MKIII RRCDJCD10W (Road Ready coffin for 2x CDJ1000 + DJM800 with wheels & fan) An extra Audio 8 (Spare) Audio 4 Audio 2 4X LPD8 4X Kontrol X1 APC 40 APC 20 (AKA the APC 80 combo...) MPD32 Maschine Komplete 7 Ableton Suite 2x AKG K181DJ cans 2x SL1210 (for the road only) 1 X RR1200HWS (Road Ready, Stackable SL case) 2x Ortofon Dj + a pair of spare needle 2x extra regular timecode vinyl 2x of each fluo timecode vinyl colour 1X Asus Laptop M51 (first one for TSP) 2X Asus Laptop N61JV (One for the S4 setup, the other for Maschine, Ableton & pals) 6x Vantec HD Enclosure (USB & eSATA) + WD Hard Drive (1T & 2T, Black Series) 4x Vantec 7 port USB HUB 2x D-LINK 7 port USB HUB Few extra NI VST Now waiting for DJTT S4 bag... pretty tempted for a DB4 :eek: The thing, I thought it was a pain to hang out CD cases... which was a great improvement on Vinyl Cases... |
| Marguerite Salsedo 25.04.2011 | Hmm brief summary of my DJing purchases... Skullcandy SK Pro (not using anymore though they're a good backup pair... I bought them for listening really) (150) VCI 100 (plain silver... bought black knobs later) (400+ 40) Traktor Pro Upgrade (80) Midi Fighter (MK-1 yeahhhhh) (200) Presonus Firebox (Firewire soundcard) (225) Ultrasone DJ 1 Pro Headphones (totally amazing) (215) Custom Midi Fighter (Super awesome!) (450) All told it's almost $1800 of spending... and I'm a student so I really have no money unless I save like mad... pretty happy with myself |
