Hope you guys with pages of gear really use all of this and make money with your music, because if not.... wooosh!

anyway, I won't post any pages of gear, just in my signature...

(no offending guys, I'm like you, just that I don't have pages of gear to fiercely show!!!)

love

I used to gig with this:


So yeah, it gets used, just the bands and stuff I've been involved in that was making money seems to fall apart and some of the stuff I've listed I was given and didn't actually pay for it.

wow... I have a crap setup compared to all of this.

There's no Canada like French Canada, it's the best Canada in the land.
The other Canada is hardly Canada, if you lived here for a day you'd understand.

Try and get a TG77 - this is a rackmount SY77, which was an awesome synth from the Yams which did excellent FM and also had PCM Wave samples.

TX81Z - I had one of those for donkey's years, it was cool, but along with all the hardware synths I had at the time, I had to sell it when I emigrated as Canada uses a different voltage and power scheme to the UK (plus you wouldn't want to carry a Korg Wavestation and 4 other synths (Kawai K1, Yamaha SY77, Yamaha DX100 and Roland JD800) as well as the Yamaha guitar and amp plus all the luggage. The TX81Z had a few cool sounds, but not as many as my TG77.

I use it, the d/a converters are the best of the yamaha fm series, imho.
great for bass, pads, all sorts of things. But I usually sample it.

I love it how these bad boys made it onto the list. I'm not a big fan of shamisen music. I much prefer the Chinese Erhu. But the shakuhachi on the other hand is amazing. I lived in Japan for about 5 years and I saw two shakuhachi performances that blew my mind.

And what's the TOTAL PRICE of your incredible setups ????

I'm sorry but can't help finding this topic chocking. Just gear listings without any soul (hope they are exhaustive, are you sure you guys did not forget a little vst here or there????).

could be really easier to compare the total price of your setups...


What's the point of all this obsessive demonstration?



BTW, my penis is bigger.

lol



cheers



EDIT : Sage: I like your live foot pedal setup!!



EDIT2:

I'm not saying that having such huge setups is not useful, I indeed believe that you're using all this stuff, and that you may be professionnals needing all this for your work.

I'm just saying that I feel it a bit "exhibitionnist and narcissic/obsessive" to put so much efforts in making these exhaustive, ordered, categorized... obsessive listings.

well I guess mine is average length, but as you all know it's how you use it.

wait, we are measuring our dicks aren't we?

yes we are

What's the point of all this obsessive demonstration?

i think you take this too seriously....
keep cool man, that's an audio software forum!! a little bit of gearporn is good for us all!

Why did you read this topic to begin with ???


BTW : Nice setup in your sig...
