Making music on minimal equipment.

I have quite a nice collection of synths, but don't you
music-makers often find you make the best tracks when you
use the least amount of your equipment, and concerntrate on
only one or two synths? I sure do...it's weird...when I try
and use everything, I get distracted and un-focused, and the
process becomes tedious and slow...what about you?

have too agree here. ive been buyin up quite a bit of gear
in the last 12mnths. it seems im spending more time learning
my new toys than actually making songs.

its all starting to come together now, but its been a long
process.

no new gear for atleast another two years!

I have gorgeous synths but i hardly use them, i only use
them for mapping ideas down and put the riffs to Fruity
Loops and just go from there and put them onto Acid with
other pre-recorded samples

Same with Drum Beats

Writing my best tunes now with some VSTi's and a ESI2000
sampler. Keeping it straightforward allows you to be more
spontaneous I think...battling with 10 different types of
interface does help ideas flow...

when i first started making music, all i had was a drum
machine, a four track and a keyboard. Occaisionaly a Roland
505. The bad thing was that i could never get anything to
sound proffessional enough, but when i listen to old tapes
of it, i appreciate it more than most of my new stuff
because i had so many unused ideas. Its probably more
melodic than anything i've made whilst using Reason, Cubase
VST5, and ACID.
