What's the most you've ever spent on a piece of gear?

[Fade]

What's the most you've ever spent on a piece of hardware or software? And was it worth it?

 

[thedreampolice]

about 4k for a Mac once, I used it for years so I believe it was. I have spend a few g's on various guitars and amps and I think it was worth it as well. As of late I have been selling most of my gear off. Its amazing how much crap you collect over the years. I want just a few basics and thats it. Getting close

2x mpc2000xl in 1999 when they were released @ 3500 gilders each, no clue what it amounted in $
Acces virus b, same 3500 gilders and studio electronics atc-1 + sem filter ditto 3500.
hmmm, AH mixwizard 16:2 @ 3200.

computers yeah, different ballgame lol.


return value... ugh...

$1800 on the Alesis Fusion.. a decent workstaion, but great synth.. and as long as its still plugged in my setup, it was worth it.. but damn, the price has dropped alot for a used one.

Man, I didnt know you had a fusion, that thing is pretty cool. Do you find yourself using it over softsynths?

 

[slik da relic]

[thedreampolice]

ha ha, my bad. For some reason I thought you had a hybrid setup. Man thats crazy. STAY STRONG!

 

[slik da relic]

i just bought a Mac.. but im gonna start usin it strictly for video for now.. i got 2 real keyboards.. the Fusion, and the Nord.. and then the RS7000 and the Beat Thang.. thats all the synth sounds i need.. anything else will be sampled wav files, which i have those as well... i stopped chasin sounds long time ago.

[thedreampolice]

Right on man. Sometimes its best to have a focused setup like that. I have been selling gear like crazy trying to make my life simple again. All those options can hurt your brain!

 

[Ozmosis]

$1200 for the motif rack, when i first started making music.

 

[slik da relic]

here is the set up... the NS10s have been replaced with a pair of Adam A7Xs... and the only addition i have is the Beat Thang.. thats my old apartment... it set up the same, but with none of the clutter u see on the side.

 

[Greg Savage]

$3000 for my 3000

 

[Edmondo Mollusk]

560€ for my NI Maschine MK2 and I haven't really used it so far as I am very comfy in my DAW right now!

 

[AMG]

The most money I spent was on my Akai MPC 1000 (my first and only MPC). It was $879 brand new and I bought it within the first year it dropped. I still own it till this day...9 yrs later.

 

[Step Soprano]

$2500 for a $3500 macpro(got it right after the new model dropped). $5600 on the focusrite 2802.

 

[J Rilla]

$1500 for my motif

 

[DJ Wax-Turtle]

1600 euro on a Roland MV-8000.
Than sold the 8000 and had to only add 400 euro extra to get the new 8800.
