So, I came across this video a few days back and wanted to know what you thought of it.
Limit your options like your life depended on it.
I can see what he means in one sense. For most of my music, I only use two synthesizers: Sylenth and Massive. I feel that I know Sylenth fairly well and though I am still learning Massive, I do know most of the basics. So, most of the time, I generally know which synth to pick, rather than browsing though all of the Reaktor synths and trying to figure them out.
But I feel differently about the microphone example that he gave.
If I had three mics, then I probably would have gotten them for different reasons. I probably would have already researched which mic works better, in different scenarios, before getting each mic.
As for settings and combos, I would only really need to figure that out once. It might slow the progress on one song, but after that I would already know which settings and combos work best and default to them.
But that is just what my take on the video was. What do you guys think?
