Ever Take Apart Your Midi Controller?
I used to take my sequential boards apart regularly (Prophet 10 and Multi-Trak). The Prophet was a beast to handle, definitely not for the faint of heart. I used to do it to tweak the tuning 'cause it would drift a bit. The Multi Trak wasn't bad at all. I took that one apart once a year to... -
What's you favorite era and genre in non-hiphop related music
1990's Detroit Techno and early '90's House. There's a few 80's pop songs I'll listen to, and a lot of 60's and 70's jazz.- konceptG

Any Dj's on the Site
been rockin a Gemini 626 Pro2 mixer for nearly 10 years now. the thing still works well. Vestax is making the mixers a lot of cats buy, especially battle DJ's. -
asr-x
The last eprom update pretty much resolved the sequencer issues. The Pro has Stomper drum synth built-in (which has always been downloadble for the PC). I've used it on the PC over the years and it's a cool little utility. The internal sounds are very useable, but with the Urban Dance Kit... -
I sold reason, imma buy Sonar 7
I have Sonar 6 PE and it have almost everything I need to make music. I've simply added a handful of VST's/DXi's and I'm solid. I've been using that more than Cubase SX3 lately, but still not as much as FL Studio. -
Is 4 gigs of ram enough.
??? Why not? I have a machine with 512MB RAM that does just fine with VSTi's. 1.3GHz Athlon Thunderbird running XP SP2, Cubase SX3, Kontakt, FM8, Pro53, Attack, M1, Wavestation, and FL Studio among other things. -
Is 4 gigs of ram enough.
btw... 512MB to 1GB is also enough if you know what you're doing. -
Is 4 gigs of ram enough.
in a word, yes. However, it's best to use a 64bit OS to fully utilize that 4GB. Though XP and use 4GB on paper, you need a bit of modification to get it to use over 2GB properly. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEmem.mspx -
Death of Disco aka "Disco D"
yeah... I posted that article in a few places. Dave was a good friend of mine. We had done a few shows together, I sold him the gear he used to record his first EP. He's the reason I got into Pro Tools, and he's the biggest reason I stepped back behind the turntables. He gave me copies of some...- konceptG

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...- konceptG

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...- konceptG

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...- konceptG

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...
