If youo haven't seen what one can do, try to...
A DVD deck is intriguing, but not my prioroty. No more gear for me...
Why?
I kept every reciept I ever got for any gear or computer stuff I ever had. A documentary archive of every purchase for my studio was stuffed in a zip-lock bag. I also kept notes on each item I sold, traded in, etc.
I sat down recently, and totalled how much money I have spent on gear since the early 90s, and subtracted how much I got for stuff I sold / traded over the years. The result was shocking and depressing, considering I have NEVER been totally satisfied with my studio, despite the money I dumped into it. I have been mucking with Reason the last few months, and have made tracks I am very happy with, which once mixed in Cubase sound just as good as any of the external gear produced tracks of mine... I realized that I am a gear whore, an electronics addicted bitch. Well, it's time to let it all go.
And this ain't all of it... There was more that I sold a couple of months ago: About $6,000 US worth of sampler / synth / mixer / effects crap I dumped just before January!
I am going totally software. The only gear I will own will be a laptop, 2 midi controllers, and a pair of active monitors with sub. I might keep the two decks n' a mixer - but I still haven't decided, I might dump them too. I have more to sell, but I can only list so much on ebay at once, it's too hard to keep track of dozens of auctions at the same time...
