So what's on everyone's wishlist for gear in 2015? Specifically NOT related to Reason developments, but hardware, instruments or other software.

I'm going to get myself the Eleven Rack from Avid

Image  Also on my wishlist is the Ravish Sitar pedal:




Also waiting to see if Nektar announce a new Panorama model at the forthcoming NAMM.

I want FL Studio for synths, 
A Scarlett 2i2, 
A desk so I can make music easier=P, 
Full Reason, 
Parsec(?), 
And That's pretty much it!

If anyone has any tips, like FL Synths are better than Parsec, please tell me, because I want to know=P

While this thread isn't about Reason (there will be plenty of those threads in future), I think Parsec is a very cool synth. Give it a trial, and see if it works for the music you're making. '

Actually I'm also going to get a scarlett 18i20 this year also, and retire the few 'toy' interfaces I use (the piece of shit Balance and my Lexicon)

My money went into an AxeFX2 a long time ago, so for me no Eleven rack... heard it's nice though.

I have an eye on one of the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol keyboards, but still not sure where to put it in my small space that has too many keyboards already.

Strip my current studio room, build a new desk, put up acoustic treatment and then most likeley a pair of these:

Image

Adam A7X.
Just listened to them the other day compared to Adam A8x, Yamaha HS7 and HS8 and Genelec 8040BPM.
I might end up with the Genelec's... but for their price the Adam A7x's are awesome. So incredibly precise, i've never heard anything like it.

I want to buy some Owens Corning 703 4" thick panels to make some bass traps out of. As far as software goes I want to buy Massive, NI vintage compressors (just really want the dbx160 and LA-2A emulations) and buy a good reverb vst (not sure which one yet). I'm done mixing in reason so I gotta start buying vst's and just end up with REs I don't use anymore (until Reason implements RE delay compensation).

Yup I got the emx2 but already bored of it's lame synth editing features (only one preset knob!?).

So I've sold it... but I love the workflow and jamming ability, and the sampler will be amazing with it's transient detection and chop mode. Not being limited to included sounds will be awesome too..

I'm hoping to rustle up the funds for an Focusrite ISA 430 to improve on vocal recordings. Otherwise I'm pretty content with the hardware I've built up so far (or at least I am tricking myself into thinking that for the sake of my wallet).

yea i will go for it. i just dont know if i'll have place for a P4 by this summer (all that baby stuff takes a lot of place lol, my youngest (also a girl) is only just  a year, so still a dipertable & all that are in the house;, & i still don't mind drawing my notes with a mouse, it's not that i do keyboard solos in my music, but i do a lot of automations, so yeah, those rotaries will come in handy :)
 
enjoy the girl, & let me warn you, thos little girls put a spell on you from day one ;)

You should take into consideration that Adam Audio have filed for bankruptcy...

Thanks for that info. I'll ask my supplier about this.
From some quick searches i get the impression that they are trying to restructure the company. It looks like they got into trouble when they we're selling faster then they could deliver. Its weird because i've spoken to one of the major european resellers for Adam just a few days ago, he didn't mention anything about it. They're also at Namm. Would be a bit weird to do that just to get rid of your inventory when you're going out of business... I'm cautiously optimistic :P
