Oh don't get me wrong, I feel that I'm holding my own pretty well, I just meant that gear envy may have taken over if I'd seen all that wonderful tech before starting

I promised I'd get to it when I had the new system put together. Before anyone thinks to say anything about my handwriting, I didn't use said Wacom tablet to label it, I'm on my laptop with my mouse...

I do feel, however, very under-equipped compared to what everyone else has been posting and I'm mighty glad I managed to get a few decent tracks out before seeing everyone else's setups, because it may have killed my confidence prematurely >.<

Mine was another placeholder. I'm not too happy with myself pushing out something I was ambivalent about, but I was very un-creative last week, so I am just glad I got something in.

On the other hand, my new system is here and being set up right now, so chances of the change and shininess sparking SOMETHING of worth are pretty high for now. Next week, I go back to uni, too, so hopefully I can ride a few weeks of change induced creativity...

I've been having some interesting discussions with other electronic artists I know about how electronic artists (or DJs) have a pretty free reign of deciding exactly how much work they need to do for their live sets. If you just turn up with an iPod and push play, you'll still be able to deliver the show sonically, but will it be visually interesting?... food for thought, especially since all the guys playing the recent Big Day Out's Boiler Room pretty much had their fancy setups just for show... or so it looked from the ground

@Scott; there's something very 'tortoise and the hare' about that sentence...

I suddenly feel entirely unequipped for this... 0.o...
