    Default RGAS - Rapid Gear Aquisition Syndrome

    Please light one for my bank account.

    I've spent more since I got into controllerism (the last couple of months) than I have in 3 years. Can someone say Black Card Candidate? I can't. Too broke. I've gone through phases before where I spend large sums at once, but never in this quantity.

    I got a Kontrol S4, Odyssey Flight Case for the S4, Midi Fighter, Scratch Upgrade for the S4, Fluorescent Orange Control Vinyl, M-Audio Axiom Pro 49, Pro Tools 9, Ableton Suite 8, Novation Launchpad (kind of free from the parents [A Nice Gift I might Add.]), 8GB RAM, 1TB WD Scorpio Blue Hard Drive, Denon HP-1000 Headphones, A Shit Ton of Jasmine Tea (Not Sure Why, but it tastes and smells like...well...amazing.) and Shure SE215 IEMs.

    Like...What the Hell. What happened to my generally behaved spending habits... I'd assume that I'm also not the only one in this boat either, so along with lighting one for me, pour one for the foreclosed homies.

    I feel ya man. Since January I've bought (and sold some) all of this. Not including all of the new music I've added to my collection.

    Numark Mixtrack (sold)
    Traktor Pro (sold)
    Audio 4 DJ
    Rokit RP8s
    Kontrol S4
    Kontrol X1
    TSP2 Upgrade

    I guess I can count my Toughbook too since I bought it with the sole intention of it being my DJ laptop. And I bought RAM, spare battery, and Win7Pro for it as well.

    The only thing left on my list is a new mixer. But I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

    I hear ya mate, since getting into controllerism I've spent a shit load.

    At first it was just my 17" Hp laptop, Traktor Pro, RMX and Senn 205's.

    Since getting more involved and "Pro" its changed slightly... Now I have:

    2011 Macbook Pro 15" i7 - $1900
    Kontrol S4 - $899
    Kontrol X1 - $199
    Audio 2 - Free
    Pioneer HDj 2000 - $240

    So in the last cpl of months I've spent about $3240 not to mention the hundreds of $$$ spent on Beatport!

    GAS FTW!!!

    Hello Friends, my name is Coldfuzion and I suffer from GAS as well.

    At first I didn't think it was this bad, but now that I look back ... it has turned into a bad addiction. I have ruined my bank accounts balance.

    Welcome to fucking DJs anonymus.

    I started DJing on November 1st, 2010. Since then I have had one small retail job making minimum wage which I quit in January. This is a list of gear I have acquired since November:

    Kontrol S4 - $1010
    Maschine - $520
    AKG K702 - $275
    Novation SL 49 MK II - $320
    MIDI Fighter - $240
    KRK Rokits - $210 (Thank God for Gianmarco or I would've have blown $420)
    MacBook Pro 15" i7 - $2900
    Uberstand - $87

    Please keep in mind these are the prices I actually paid, so it's after tax and the S4, Maschine, and MacBook include a 3 year accidental damage coverage.

    Since January I have purchased

    Numark Stealth (used from a friend and started this whole mess)
    HP envy 14 (since I was tired of lugging the alienware to work)
    Uberstand (cant just have the new laptop sitting on the counter at my gig)
    Traktor Pro (traktor 3 wasnt doing it for me anymore)
    Audio 4 DJ (hated Asio4all)
    Mono 365 bag (had to have something to carry all this new gear in)
    Midifighter (cant wait to get this thing)

    Now as I decide whether or not to get into full production and not just remixy/mashup stuff, its me starting to look at hardware and synths and VST's

    Never ending cycle of gear addiction.
