Using warez is one thing - a decision - but no one is forced to by a lack of money nowadays. I just don't buy that. You absolutely don't need warez to produce music that can compete. On the other hand using warezed stuff won't make your stuff sound fat'n'polished, automatically.

It comes down to sticking with something and maybe - maybe - talent.
Well, good point.
A lot of people get stuck into ripping the latest warez and plugs, just because they are new.

I find spending time and really learning the stuff you like, minimising what you have so you have just a few options per type, and then REALLY learning how to get the best from it, will get you the best sound.

I`m still using some stuff that`s from the real early days of vst, and it fecking rules, especially as I know it so well.
