I made my first beat with Hip Hop E-Jay 2 circa 1999. For those too young to remember, the EJay series were rudimentary DAWs with a bunch of stock sounds, marketed mainly to kids and teenagers. However, you could also load your own samples in WAV/MP3 format. I learned a lot through this.

In the early 2000s, my DAW of choice was Sonic Foundry ACID 2.0/3.0 (I still use version 7.0 to this day!). I also used Acoustica Beatcraft for drum programming (and still occasionally use it these days). My DJ equipment included a Gemini 626 PRO mixer (notoriously ugly), two Gemini PT-1000 turntables, and a preamp.

I forgot about E-Jay My boy was using that and gave it to me. I think I still have it somewhere in here. When I first saw that program I thought it was a cheating beatmaking program :LOL::LOL: but the sounds that it had in it was excellent to me

A big chunk of EJay Hip Hop 3's sound library was conceived by DJ Tomekk. It was pretty decent IMO.

I used to spin with a pair of Gemini XL500mkII's and a Gemini 626 Pro2.

Gemini Marketing teams used to have wild brainstorming sessions to come up with names like that. :coffee:
