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.
