As far as hardware goes: computers, controllers, and axes will never stop being bought. It's just the way of things.
Funny, I have one guitar, I'm primarily a guitar player, but I bought a 78 Les Paul Pro, and called it good. I sometimes think about getting other guitars for alternate tunings, but mostly I use drop D on occasion, so no rush.

Software wise, all I want is the money to upgrade everything at some point.

@Tone I hear you on the multiple started projects. I think in the future I'm going to start printing phrases to audio right away specifically for testing out if different started ideas can't be used together in a completed song. At <300 songs there's at least one complete song in there.

Sometimes i think "maby i would be good without that piece of gear", but then i justify my act thinking that some people spend thousands on stuff like car tuning (wtf really?!) and my couple of hundred €:s on some piece of music gear or software isn't that bad :D

Still i feel like materialistic-gearhead-douche sometimes, can't help it..
