and yes I'll say it.....

"THOUGHTS"?


Donny, you're right but you have to consider that very few of these 'gear-rich' people 'gig' (perform publicly) so ergonomics is not that important. Since most of their activity involves playing for pleasure and/or multi-track recording, what's most important to them is having the biggest possible arsenal of sounds and effects to create their music (to be listened to after the fact, not live). I have lived in both worlds so I sort of 'get it'. And then there's the fact that some of us are just gear junkies and are just as interested in the technology as they are in the music. Nothing wrong with that as long as you've got enough left to buy shoes for the kids smile.....oh, what the heck, let 'um go barefoot smile smile.

Well, you asked for 'THOUGHTS'.
