    wait until you start collecting sample libraries, we keep Seagate, Toshiba, and other storage drive manufacturers in business, with our neuroses. Ah well it beats collecting baseball cards...

    Well I don't know about you but I personally have all the sample libraries I need and I'm pretty much finished. Well except for the couple Orange Tree things that just dropped but after that for sure.

    I find to my dismay I share at least one trait with a billionaire, when John D. Rockefeller was asked, "How much money is enough?" - he responded with, "Just a little bit more."

    thats seems to be the way my sample library works, just when you think you couldn't possibly need anything else, someone drops some collection of Acid Library Cd's, or 60's drum loops, and I put another quarter in the internet meter and pull the download lever, and watch the $$$$ signs spin on the meter..

    could be worse i could collect funk-0-pops, or StarWars figures, or Leggos, my shit takes very little shelf space and never needs dusting.

    No, baby - I'm serious. This is the last marimba sample pack I need. I swear - I'll start making music after this one. Baby, I can quit at any time. I've done it before. I'm just making sure I have everything I need to start my marimba grindcore side project.

    This 4GB sample pack really does sound different from my other marimbas. Let me send you a demo loop real quick.

    Baby please - don't hang up on me :(

    I think the time has come to kick off the (VST Collectors Olympics). Let’s see who broke world record.
    No cheating and please show how much time you spent gathering and growing your precious collection. It all adds up to your final score.

    good luck to you all.

    When you start cutting your drum packs with cowbells to make it go farther, you know you have a problem...

    No worries . I won’t participate in the organization committee nor management. I’ll even vote for you as president of the VST International Olympic Committee (VIOC) .

    I was not sure if this thread was a pisstake or not?
    It's almost like that saying that if you cannot be good, dress well because you may as well look good.
    Collecting plugins can be a trap. In a final mix, many people have under 20 plugins they always turn to, some much less, and in mastering, less again.

    Being the holder of not 1 but 2 marimba soundpacks while having never even installed Kontakt successfully, I must admit I giggled.
