Software is my instrument of choice. Don't and won't own hardware.
I've made the classic mistake of buying too much. Mostly arturia license transfers. No criticism of the vst's themselves, but I have found that spoiling myself for choice is actually more of an impediment than a liberation. If I could have my time over, I'd stick with far fewer.
I'm not the first to say or think this. But I'm not sure what to do. I feel at a bit of a pinch point creatively because of this. I could just not use the stuff I don't want, but I feel that even just owning them is a limit because it will affect my creative judgement. I have come to believe freedom, creatively, comes from having a smaller pallete to work with. YMMV of course.
I could sell some of them. I think. I'm not sure Arturia are happy to keep letting people sell on licenses, especially if they're recently acquired. Fair play to them for letting them happen at all I guess.
Thoughts?
