    Where are all the Mpcs????

    I'm seriously considering picking up an MPC500 for messing in the living room when the kids are in bed... Been looking for a small groovebox to play with for a while... Circuit is up there right now but keep coming back to the MPC500... Won't replace Maschine... But hopefully they'll...

    Headphones

    Superlux gear can be really hit or miss... I had a condenser mic that was absolute gash but have a phantom powered ribbon that I use on my acoustic guitar and purcussion that I don't think I could live without! It's pretty dark, sounds awful on vocals but seems to capture a warmth to my...

    Digging Wudge-U-Cop-While-Digging-Today?

    So I was walking past the record store again this lunchtime and I fell; in through the door; still stumbling over to the soul/funk crate... Well the door to the shop was open and there was this massive gust of wind... Long story short a couple records ended up on the counter and money flew out...

    Digging Wudge-U-Cop-While-Digging-Today?

    Cool! I just found a really good UK based eBay store... Used YouTube to check stuff out and have found some beauties! Got about 300 quids worth in my watch list right now! I'm going full soul mode at the moment!!

    How do you normally start your beats?

    There's also certain labels that if I see I buy... Almost risk free that there'll be fire on there...

    How do you normally start your beats?

    Personally, I walk into the record shop and head straight to 'soul' section... My local shop has a mixed 'funk/soul' crate I go for soul over funk (I find a lot of funk stuff difficult to do anything with) then move to the Jazz section looking generally for pianos, horns, incredible drummers...

    Suggestions for Keyboards?

    Did you get the Reface CP? I've been drooling over it on YouTube after having a play in store... £289 here in the UK but those Rhodes sounds with a touch of the analogue delay!!! That'd be on every track I'd make if I had it! FYI. I've been using a Korg MicroKey37 for a few years...

    Novation Circuit

    How do we feel about the new Novation Circuit? Could it have a place in a hip hop lab or should it be left to the bleepy EDM crowd? While we're at it... Any grooveboxes or tabletop synths that you do rate?

    Sticky Show Your Setup!

    Started a bit of a move-around today - found out there's a bit of a slope to my attic floor and had to run out and get a new USB hub. Presonus Faderport is either not working or not setup right... :-/ But new keyboard is working well in Studio One though :-) I'll post a pic tomorrow.

    How often do you make purchases?

    I figure vinyl doesn't count despite it being (for me) a production essential?!

    How do you normally start your beats?

    I got a 6 month old baby in the house... I HAVE to know what I want to do nowadays!! Ha! At the very least I have to go in focused. The amount of time I used to spend just messing about while making beats just isn't there now. Sometimes I have like a half hour to just do something so I started...

    Studio Reorganisation

    I'm kinda stuck where I am in terms of listening position. Attic room... Eaves on 3 sides with only one vertical wall (next doors house) and a 2 foot by 4 foot hole in the floor (hatch and ladder). Pretty much 8ft by 10ft of usable (mainly seated) area and only able to stand up straight in the...

    Studio Reorganisation

    I got a pretty small space in the attic and as I add pieces I'm forced to reorganise (and sometimes eject) my gear. The attic is also the storage for family camping gear, wetsuits, winter coats and a myriad of other things we need to keep but don't have room for day-2-day in the house. Just got...

    How do you normally start your beats?

    Without having a sample or melody in mind?! Dude that's some xenophobic shit right there!

    How often do you make purchases?

    Christmas and Birthdays. And as I just got a year older I picked up a Presonus FaderPort and a Novation Impulse49 to replace my Korg MicroKey37... Gotta big up wifey for the cash and the note that said "Buy some of that MIDI stuff you like" Gonna try an blag a Soundcard with more ins and outs...

    How do you normally start your beats?

    I reckon this is normal... Sometimes it's really difficult to write (compose) around a sample but often if I try to do a track without a using a sample it'll sound just like the last track I did without a sample... Sampling definitely gets me set on the way I play another instrument in
