2 controllers (keyboard + drum pad)
An audio interface
3x FX pedals
2 synths
5 guitar picks
I can reach a footpedal with my feet, I guess that counts.

Various other things, like this computer, and helpers (like dice). I'd need to stand up to reach my guitars though.

 

I just sat down in front of a few percussion instruments to begin fomenting in my mind a prelude for my entry into Not A Contest #10 (https://audiosex.pro/threads/friendly-non-contest-10.79693/#post-838990) so I see six. Really, I'd have too many to count if I was in my room, probably 50+ or so. (If we were counting guitar picks in my room there would be at least 100)

ps4 controller that i can use to control ableton and a mouse and headphones i can see a bunch more interesting stuff but thats out of reach and take too long to list

 

Watching football on tv, so I can only reach one. It's the remote that gives me access to over 40,000 FLAC music tracks.

 

Well right now I'm sitting in front of an Allen and Heath D-live C2500 but the real music stuff is about a hundred feet away

 

Laptop, mic, guitar, Maschine & a small midi keyboard.

Keyboard controller, OSC tablet, monitors, headphones, guitar, and the most important musical thing, a swiffer duster.

 

4 Monitors, 3 headphones, 5 Synths, Ableton Push, Record Player and Records, Tascam 4 Track, Reel to Reel, 5 outboard processors, RME Interface, a few Gizmos, 8 Billion Plugins, a few hard drives, iLok.

 

Only a sheet of paper.

 

Pen & paper are key. I've got a pencil and some scrap on hand, but my notebook is out of reach. Typing out random nonsense words on a computer is posting shit in forums, scribbling words with a pen is poetry and lyricism. At least I pretend it is.

 

I'm gearing up for a vinyl release of one of my old albums, and tracking for a new album.

To hand I have:
2x LTL Silver Bullets, Chandler TG1, API 512c, Chandler TG2-500, 2x AML EQPs, Bereich Density, Nekotronics SL4000 mk2, Kush Clariphonic MS, Audioscape D3A, KK S61 mk2, Moog Subsequent 37, Fender Jazzmaster, Gretsch 5127, Fender Precision, Fender Jazz, and 2 plectrums. If I stand up I can reach a Gretsch 6120 and a Godin Kingpin. With 2 steps (approx) I can reach a tambourine, a Chandler TG type L mic, a double bass and a Maschine mk3.

Please adopt me, my parents are dead.

 

The most ideal situation is for the sounds to exist in the mind and,
with a pen or pencil and a piece of paper, the outline of the music or even the details can be gotten down on it.
