Fade - I'm back to purchasing gear now. I won't be 100% until I can make my beats the way I want. I'm about half way finished though. This time I'm buying only 'necessities' instead of 'whatever'. I'll be hitting the boards regularly.

2 Good - Bro, I think of you guys ALL the time. I can't shake the itch of not being on here with you guys. I miss all the fun, the contests and the music. I see a lot has changed but it looks good!

Chris - I must have the wrong number in my phone bc I called you before this post. Give me a call so I'll have the right number. I'll be unavailable from 6:30 - 11pm anytime before or after is cool or I'll be free pretty much all day tomorrow.

That's dope. What gear are you looking at?

I kept wondering all this time where you were. The last few times I emailed you they bounced (if I'm not mistaken). Anyway, glad you're working your way back. The family all good?

Well, I'm looking at a high end hardware compressor, I'm still not sure what I'm gonna do about my decks...I don't know if I want straight controllers or CD decks that will act as controllers, I want some really good (medium range) monitors and a really good interface. I want to try something new for my sampler...nothing by Roland or Native Instruments maybe the AKAI Renaissance. Definitely going with Glyph Hard drives.

I don't hate Maschine! Lol...I just want something different, pretty much ready out of the box - no updates (or minimum at the least). Plus I like the idea of having several samplers built in to one device.

ha well the AKAI Renaissance is like a weaker version of maschine though, the renaissance still needs a computer it just has an audio interface built in. You could easily use use any sampler you wanted in Maschine. Now I think AKAI will catch up and it has some cool features, but at this point Maschine is the stronger platform. Are you thinking about getting a used MV88?

Chris - No, Roland pissed me off back when they said screw hip hop production...I'm done with them! I just want something different, Maschine isn't totally out the question...but it will not be my first choice.

Fade - NO!! lol

J Rilla - What's good bruh? Glad to be back.
