I love limitations. I think it's my strong point. It's extremely easy to get lost when everything is so easily available and right in front of you. It can just be too much. That's why I enjoy using hardware, and old hardware at that. It's simple, shorter learning curve (compared to these new wacky vst space stations), and I like the tone of old stuff. Limitations force the artist to write better music, as opposed to using 10 massive vst's layered with multi-band compression, 21 band eq, delay and Carnegie Hall convolution reverb programming. When you have it all, you just tend to keep using more and more of it, just because it's there. I personally enjoy the challenging nature that limitations provide, and again, it forces me to write better music. And also, it's less stressful in a way.
The artist, Aliceffekt, wrote an entire album using just a Minibrute for sounds/synthesis. And you would never even know that unless you were told. Keeping it simple and using limitations to your advantage is a very successful method.
