    I bought 1 pro dslr, 1 gopro, 1 pro lens, 1 tripod, 1 midi keyboard, 1 controller (sold), 1 traktor a6, 1 traktor f1, 1 mixer, 1 turntable, 1 samsung phone, and a few records in a span of 6 months.

    I want to buy another TT but my wife told me that I need to play in a club first before I can buy one, and I just started. That would take years. so I think it would be one temporary solution for my RGAS.

    I'm lucky my wife haven't left me yet.

    I have had this problem my whole life with tech gear because Im a super big geek. Now put that on top of the fact that I have been DJing less then a year and you have a real problem. I love buying new gear.

    I pay full retail for a new phone like once every 6 months. It takes a sick individual to spend $700 plus on a phone every 6 months.

    I once waited for a bus @ a bus stop and since i had time, decided to look inside a fishing/hunting store that was behind it (needed a birthday present for my father). Needless to say, I exited the store with a full on, 5mm diving suit. I don't dive. It's still in my closet.

    I'm going through it at the moment. Have an S4 and using Traktor Pro 2 but I have this nagging intrigue about Serato DJ in my head making me want to buy new hardware and try a Serato setup out. Might buy a cheap second hand Twitch ti get it out of my system, as opposed to the Pioneer DDJ-SX that I have been eyeing up!

    I bought a ddj-sx, an upgrade from a hercules control mp3 e2.
    Do i regret it? Kind of.
    More limitations make you think more about what you are going to put in your set. When i overgrew the standard hercules, i learned to code in VDJ to make my own mappings. And quite honestly, i was more creative with the hercules then than i am now with my ddj-sx.
    But i guess it's just a part of moving on, i love my SX now, and i love how serato is limited compared to traktor. Because if i chose traktor as my to-go platform, now i'd probably have an s4 laying in the corner of my room, instead of having a residency.

    Just got my birthday present. Tech 1210 MK2's. I really don't _need_ them, but sometimes it's hard to distinguish between need and want really freakin bad.

    I need to thank my ex for divorcing me and leaving me with disposable income.

    Um yeah everything I go visit my parents they ask me if I'm still wasting my life away buying stuff I don't need..... Yup

    Probably have close to 3k worth of stuff I have touched once and just sitting in the box because I thought I needed it.

    Someone talk me out of buying Komplete 9. I have Live 9 suite, but I feel like the sounds I've heard coming from Komplete 9 are just too good to pass up!

    You can make sounds similar to Komplete 9 in Live 9 Suite with a number of software synths you already own.

    Good enough?
