Anyone here don´t feel like buying any more gear? Realized that what you already have is enough for making great records, so stopped "GAS'ing" for more stuff?
Recently I´ve listed on a paper what I think it´s the mininum gear (hardware & software) I need to get a great result for each task (vocals, guitar, drums, bass, mixing, synths, etc) and I realized that I only need 3 more mics and that´s it. Even sold all the stuff that I had and wasn´t on the list to help me buy the ones on the list that I don´t have yet.
Doing this exercise helped me to set goals and focus. Stop wasting time and money on stuff that I don´t need. Sometimes having too many options overwhelms me, and I feel more productive with a limited set of tools, as long as I know that they´re enough to get the job done.
Have you ever planned something like this to get away from the "gear loop"?
