Nothing. Save the money for the day that you feel like you really need something else.
If anything, I might suggest getting a second-hand iPad for composing on the couch :D

 

The first thing that I bought when I had an extra $150 was acoustic foam/panels! It definitely was worth it.

In your case, I would try to focus on what you feel that you lack. Maybe another midi controller can spark some production inspiration?? Or buying mic pres to improve recording quality, or if you make music with other people often, maybe you could use more pairs of monitors/headphones.

That's how I would base it haha!

 

Foams... Thats a Good Idea for sure... Or even Monitor vibration Isolator can be a good idea too...

 

May be I can save for OP-1

 

That's a cool gadget, no question. If it was a third of the price asked I would think about it too but the prices for OP-1 and OP-Z are a joke.

 

Acoustic foam is trash. Buy owens corning 703 or rockwool and make some DIY panels. Plenty of tutorials on youtube and they are LOADS better than acoustic foam. Seriously..

 

I will Look into that..


Thanks !

 

Do you mean a UAD plugin for $150?

 

if you are into recording guitars, go shop https://neuraldsp.com/

Foam? You're taking the piss right? What a monumental waste of money.

I scored one of these for 50 bucks.. amazing

 

I would take the money and buy U-He's Hive (149€) to get version 2.0 on its release somewhen in the next 6 weeks for free.

Do you have enoufgh space to improve the room acoustics ?
Save for proper (not foam) Acoustic treatment much more important than any other hardware.
Corner Chunks, Basstraps

It lets you hear what you do.

 

.... or Caruso Isobond, it has similar properties like the 703 but, it can be used without sealing it airtight since it is 100% harmfree.
downside is that it cost's more and might be not available outside Germany ?

 

In my case, foam works great.
