I just spent quite some money these last few weeks on:
- a new pc (from a 1,2ghz amd to a intel quad 9600 or something) ,
I can now make tracks without my system starting to stutter after using more than say six plugs. I can also play along live now with my bassguitar which i couldnt with the old 1.2 amd.
- a new hi-fi amp (my old one which i bought 20 years ago had a 'buggy' channel for the last few years so i had to hit it every 15 minutes to keep both channels working),
- a new headphone (since my last one, bought for 5 euros 10 years ago has had a crackly wire for these last few years)
-test-trying some speakers i borrowed from somebody and might buy them if i like them. My old speakers were ones given to me by a friend who found them in the garbage on a streetcorner.
Thanx to the new amp and speakers I can hear stuff Ive never heard before in my own tracks and in other peoples tracks etc. it really has brought so much joy back into making and listening to music.
So are you guys telling me now I could have saved me a lot of money and should have stuck with my old gear?! AND buy buying this stuff I've also instantly also become a worse musician?! Thanx a lot!
