Same here Ryszard. I have a ton of gear and multiple places to set up a nice studio. Every so often I get to thinking maybe a new piece of gear will spur my motivation. Just recently I sprung for a Roland Integra 7 to expand my already lack of talent further and access some of Biab's great capabilities in that area as well as make use of the thousands of midi files I've collected over the years. Set it up one night, played with it a bit through the computer with BB,RB and Studio One2. Today it is back in the box it was shipped in and out in the garage with everything else. Last time it was an Alesis Keyboard, midi controller. It's never been taken out of the box. They sit side by side boxed up. Before that, an Ibanez guitar. There's even a before that, but I've made my point...

I know that time, gear, location and a supportive 2nd wife (I have one too) are not at the root of my apathy. My mediocre writing and performing talent aren't the root of my apathy either, but they are certainly the anchors.

I think Bob's assessment fits the closest for me, no kindred spirit to jam, collaborate and bring in fresh ideas and motivation.
