    Do you still buy Production related Magazines?

    I've bought Sound on Sound, Keyboard, Home Recording, Computer Music, Future Music, and Remix. I did by Scratch for a while, but, like everyone else, I started getting pissed when the focus moved from producers to rappers.

    It's Just a Matter of Time...

    The SP1200 sounds the way it does thanks to the dirty 12 bit sampling and dac's. Though this doesn't mean that all 12 bit samplers sound crunchy, I had some rather impressive sounding sample sets for the Roland S550 many years ago and I didn't get the 12bit crunch like my boy's S950. With...

    It's Just a Matter of Time...

    No. Analog may be hardware, but it's the way that hardware produces sounds that differs from everything else. I've owned a few Sequential boards in my time (Prophet V, Prophet 10, Multi-Trak, and MAX) and the true analog boards have a VST counterpart, NI's Pro52/Pro53. While you can program...

    It's Just a Matter of Time...

    When comparing analog to VA, yeah, there's a difference. That said, how many cats out there these days are actively using a Moog, ARP, or Roland Jupiter in their production? Many are using VA synths like the AN1x, Nord, etc or are using the VA sections of their workstations like the Korg MOSS...

    It's Just a Matter of Time...

    I'm one of those people that never believed in "All-In-One" type devices. My home stereo's are components (separate tuner, amplifier, CD and/or DVD player, and speakers), my car stereo has components (CD deck, 3 small amps, separate mids and tweeters in the front and rear plus a single 8" sub)...

    Know of any good video editing software?

    Aye... it's STILL a good setup for VCD authoring and even DVD creation. The greatest part about it is that it ignores Macrovision encoding from VHS and allows me to copy my tapes perfectly. Sucks that I gotta use Win98SE on that machine for this one piece of hardware. Matrox never released...

    Know of any good video editing software?

    been a Adobe Premier user for almost 10 years. For heavy duty stuf, it's Premier (I use Premier Pro 7, never upgraded past that). However, for simple stuff like VHS to DVD conversion, encoding TV shows and stuff like that, I use an ancient version of Ulead Media Studio (2.5 to be exact). It's...

    I wanna learn how to spin/scratch

    here fuckin here. Y'all new cats ain't feelin us on this likely 'cause all you know is specially made DJ shits from the last few years. I go back to the "good ole days" of Detroit DJing. Pyramid mixers and shit. Numark had this DJ mixer back then that was the shit! Had two crossfaders, one...

    Guitar Center

    I had considered working for GC back when I was working in MI sales. I didn't go because you're paid against a set amount of profit. Basically, you don't see a dime of commission unless you turn a profit for the store every month. I can't remember what the exact figure was, but it was pretty...

    neither. My phone is sufficient as a media player.

    I wanna learn how to spin/scratch

    damn... According to y'all, I shouldn't be able to scratch EVER. I've been running a set of Gemini XL500mkII's for the last 8 years. I have a pair of Stanton 500AL mkII's and a pair of ORIGINAL Stanton Discmasters for carts. For a mixer, I'm running a Gemini 626 Pro2 that I've also had for 8...

    Why are we dumbing down HipHop?

    I've always said that hip hop was deliberately dumbed down to turn a profit. When hip hop was all about skills, most MC's were talking over the average joe's head. Granted, this generally means that you need to step up your understanding, but really what it did was kind of alienate cats. When...

    OMG this Corona is kicking my ass

    interesting mix. We did flaming dr peppers with Devils Spring 161 proof vodka, rootbeer schnapps, and a tall plastic tumbler of beer or malt liquor (cheap shit works as well as good shit).

    OMG this Corona is kicking my ass

    Manly men drink bourbon, moonshine in a pinch, but bourbon is preferred. For me, it's Knob Creek or Woodford Reserve (the best there is!), Old Granddad if I'm going cheap. Gentleman Jack is king when I'm going Tenesee Bourbon, standard Old Tyme Old No. 7 Jack when I'm being a cheap ass. If...

    What are you working on right now?

    I have a number of things going on right now. I'm working on what's supposed to be a hip hop/backpacker-type instrumental EP, but I'm now giving thought to picking up the mic again for one or two tracks. Then there's my minimal techno, electro, ghettotech, and deep house stuff. The work...

    ENSONIQ ASR-10 or cheaper equipment.

    With one of the original ASR-X's, with the original OS, yeah, I can see that. With the last update, it's pretty stable. Then too, I never screwed around with the onboard fx while working on a beat. There's also the ASR-X Pro. Either one, they're dirt cheap on ebay nowadays.
