Haha. Musicians are so hard to shop for. I feel bad for our spouses. I got a Strymon Zuma so I was pretty impressed. It's pretty hard to find one in stock right now!

No Neumanns, Telefunkens, CAPI, Neve or Helios under the tree. I feel your pain! Some road debris flew up and put a hole and a nice big spiderweb of shiny cracks through the whole thing. Of course it's $30 bucks under my deductible! Guess what I'm getting for a present!

Merry Christmas hope everyone here at RGO has/ had a great one. Nothing music wise I ever receive. This one year my mom had got me Komplete 9, well wrapped up a note in writing saying " this note is good for 1 SW version of Komplete 9" .... Im still waiting on it til this day 😩😟 They are on Komplete 11 now... Then whenever I get cash to " spend on music stuff " I throw it in the bank 🤠🤓🤣

Johnkenn . . . how can you even look at her now? Not even another Upton 251 matched to the first for a stereo pair? My heart hurts for you.

P.S. Wifey just said nothing to me about spending another $6000 on gear this past month. I couldn't ask for more from a woman.

With the 30k in gear downstairs im lucky to be alive celebrating anything. Although xmas isnt big on her list (my lady is Jewish) and i was raised to not give a shit so my kid gets the besy of both worlds. Just gifts, a little Hebrew and no bs.

A co-worker of mine years ago went and got himself a Russian mail-order bride. He also put a one-way ticket back to Russia on the refrigerator..
Anytime she acted up he would just point at the refrigerator.
Also strangely enough they're still together after 10 years and she actually seems to like him.

I lucked out. My wife is amazing. My birthday was this month also... Korg Minilogue for my B-Day and then for Christmas I opened a big box which contained 3 custom picture frames which displayed a select few of the key successes in my career over the past decade. Blew me away. I admit I may have shed a tear. That has never happened before. And it's something I would have never done for myself. The past two decades have been fairly trying... and then God blessed me with her. I'm incredibly grateful

I don't expect my gal to get me gear, my wishes are too expensive. I'm perfectly happy with the nice little things she finds. Good girl.

No Barefoot mm45's no pro tuned room for the Barefoot mm45's 😭 My girl is amazing. Bought me a Nike tech outfit, air tech joggers and a matching windbreaker style coat and beanie/ skully hat to match ( grey and black ) Very expensive considering most think they are " way too expensive sweatpants 🤣" Plus pitched for many other things!
Out of nowhere she gave me a Xmas card. inside it had plugin logos from waves and UAD ( pretty dope actually ) she printed off and gave me 3 plugin ( no limit ) to get what I want. No one ever cares about getting me music stuff because I tell them not too. My music needs are way too pricey to even considering asking for any of it as " gifts ". I have about 8 plugin companies pages open and still haven't found what I'm looking for. Aside from Auto tune upgrade and ozone 7 upgrade... may get S13 pro for Mastering App. I can finagle that 🤓 All I have to do is show her the price for the new UAD api2500 at $349 and I'm in 😭With a PT crossgrade S13pro is cheaper than some plugins lol.
Mom got me a Samsung 850 evo 500GB. My whole fam pitched in and got me the twisted sounds Korean made 1.3kw Amp, that actually does 1788 watts rms at 1 ohm uncertified ( dynamic rms into 1% clipping Amp dyno) for my new sub and box.
Not a gift or is it: Met one of my mix engineer top 5 inspirations, Seth Firkins, ( Future's mix engineer plus many many others ) and chopped it up for about 15 min. Such a humble dude for his work credits/ ethic, exchanged #'s and info also! Our convo has had me super motivated and was one of those eye openers for me! Feel like I'm one step closer 😬

We had a very practical christmas, I also got an Adidas track suit. hAHA. And some socks and chocolate that my dog ate and did not die.
They are smart enough to give me cash. I sold some old KRK speakers, a Steinberg interface, some software, and put my scratch together and I've got a new Focusrite Clarett 8PreX on the way!!! The big one. This will give me enough analog I/O to track drums, other instruments, and run my hardware compressors etc, and summing mixer all at the same time. Very excited to see how this comes together.
Another Apollo would have been my first choice but I had to settle for Clarett at the (much) lower price, and live within my own means. Maybe next year. I am such a geek for audio interfaces.

Congrats man sounds awesome and I'm happy you were able to upgrade! Can't wait to hear some new tunes...

Feel like I'm one step closer 😬 Have you checked out Izotope Neutron? Yeah I have seen it and watched lots of demos but not used personally.. not something I have been interested in but if you use it and have some cool workflow to share I would be all ears and would then have a reason tondemo 😬 I have no idea what plugins I want and time is running out on the sales.... Showed my better half some prices and she almost lost her mind ( she wanted to say something about the price limit so bad but didn't, I love her so much, I can't bring myself to the 3 for $399 at UA... only saw the sonnox limiter v2 for $129.99 that reallyninterested me. I need auto tune upgrade so that's 1, saw hofa ddp creator so looking into that, right now I can do mfit and single masters but need a mastering app or SW for proper red book, ddp, dup etc. trained on wavelab but have heard bad things about stability and use recently with newest versions... ughhhh so many choices and I don't know... maybe acme opto on xla2 Plugin alliance idk 😐
