My Bedroom / Studio
Ever sincbe I was a chid I dabbled with music. My fascination with both music and technology lead me to become interested in DJ'ing and sampling. Check out some of my creations below. All are in MP3 format.
Equipment present: Stanton T60X turntable with Shure M44-7 cartridge, 2 Stanton C314 CD decks, Vestax PMC-05 Pro III mixer, Vestax Handy Trax, Boss RE-20 (Space Echo), Korg Kaossilator, Casio VL-1 keyboard, circuit bent Casio RZ-1 sampling drum machine, Oberheim DX drum machine, Boss DR-202 groovebox, Fender P-Bass and amp, PowerMac loaded with Reason, Recycle, and Logic, PreSonus Firebox, Akai MPC-500, and of course, tons of vinyl. I'd like to upgrade to Pioneer CDJ-800s or Denon DNS-3500s, and maybe a Stanton ST8-150 or Vestax PDX-3000.
