Hmmm... what's yours?

I used to have all hardware, but now I'm basically just rockin' computer stuff.

-Dell Pentium 4, 1.8gHz, 256 RAM, 40 GB HD
-Soundblaster soundcard
-Cakewalk Sonar
-Cool Edit
-Fruity Loops
-2 Technics SL-1200MK2 Turntables
-Stanton SK-1 mixer
-Kaysound MK-4902 MIDI controller
-Alesis Nanosynth
-Vinyl, CDs, etc...

Even though it would be nice to have lots of hardware gear, doing my beats on a PC setup is so much more flexible for me. :thumb:

I hooked up my turntables to my PC by pluggin my turntables into my DJ mixer, then connecting my mixer into my soundcard. There's a special RCA wire that has the regular 2 plugs at one end, and 1 plug at the other end (1/8 inch), which goes into the soundcard.

I think I covered that in one of my articles:
https://www.illmuzik.com/articles/bpcrecording1.shtml

And I get my drums from vinyl, and most of my sounds are played with the Alesis Nanosynth.

I´m, using the MPC2K too,
got an old technics (no i´m not a DJ, no one and twos) turntable that is connected to a old time mixer which is connected to different stuff, like PC in/out, minidisc
(great for any type of sample recording when you can´t use PC or Sampler).
On my PC have just CoolEdit and Steinberg but that one I don´t use. Cooledit is enough and I hate using the Computer( a 348mhz PII with 192ram)

I have a masterkeyboard midi plugged in on my mpc but that is only for some melody stuff and quite uncomfortable.

so thats my setup..............Ba Boommm´ Ba Chuck
