I just added two REs from my wishlist that were long overdue: Zero Hybrid synthesizer and Echobode (I've been sleeping far too long on that one) :puf_bigsmile:
I love echobode. One of my favourite rack extensions. Really good at making a eno lanois shimmer or with disperser on a drum loop.

I just blew my Rewards and got Resonans. To hell with Objekt.

Echobode is really bonkers, in a very good way :thumbup:

Why did you go for Resonans instead of Objekt?

Seemed like the thing to do. Everyone seems to be in love with Objekt but so far I'm not getting anything I like. Thought I might try Resonans out and see what is what.

I trialed Resonans (a while ago) and it didn't do anything for me. Everything sounded like some version of ploink. I did get Objekt though, it seems much deeper and there are several presets with a definitive wow-factor, something I missed with Resonans.

I absolutely love Echobode, so versatile and just...weird.

I just snagged Objekt and delving deeper :geek:

I bought DQ because I need it for my current project. That rounded out another voucher for me, and although I seriously don't need another synthesizer, I used it to grab RP Quad.

Just bought myself a new powersupply for my music PC, as my old one kept failing time after time. My old one was a Seasonic, and I replaced it by a Be Quiet Straight Power gold 750 watts with an 80 plus rating.

Lost my wallet today, was pissed off because it had $200 in cash in it

Went to the ATM, took out another $200

Found my wallet! Suddenly I'm $200 ahead!

Bought Reaktor 6 and a case of beer

She's an artist and spent over a thousand bucks recently on frame mouldings, which I'll be turning into frames over the next few weekends. I'm definitely the one with brownie points at the moment

Windscreen wipers.
Every time I get to the point where I’ve got to weigh the benefit of smearing water across my windscreen it takes me ages to think…change the wiper man.
But when I do it like a revelation.

That’s very cool. I love the Arturia version. I eyed this but it’s pricey!

I just realised last night I got the Overloud Dimension-D plugin free a while ago. It’s nice.

There’s a TC Electronics clone called 3rd dimension and it’s really pretty good. Costs about a 6th of the price. I’ve got one but for some reason the Boss just sounds “lusher”.

I just bought my self a Makita Kit Multitool. I'm busy with a few things in my house and garden/shed where it will come in handy.

This morning I unpacked it and charged the batteries. As soon as it will become a few degrees less hot it will go in service!

I got this about six months ago! Haven't actually done the job yet that I bought it for (a lot of fiddly sanding of window frames prior to re-staining), but I've used it for a bunch of other stuff, it's great. And that dust extraction attachment is a godsend

I do think indeed it will come in handy and I’m happy with the new machine!

I'm SUPER excited to have an old friend FINALLY sell me his sweet 1978 Fender Rhodes 73 suitcase. A life long dream of mine was to own a Fender Rhodes, I'll be spending the next few months bonding with the newest member of my studio family… ;)

Yeah. I’ve got masses of compilation tapes friends made me in the 80s. Remember when a compilation was the biggest show of affection you could give or get from a girl. My friend (who sadly died few years ago) made me 23 tapes all called On a Rainy Day. You never know what you’re going to get as they all look exactly the same :). Also had friends of friends who had friends who dj-ed in clubs in the early 90s and the tapes when round. Happy days.
