New to the forum, and what's a better way to introduce yourself then a picture of the lab?
My name is Christov, hiphopproducer from the Netherlands. Released my second album a couple of months ago (I have a link for those interested). Always worked with computers (although I used to have a semi-problematic ASR10 which I ended up selling which I still kinda regret...great sound). Have been collecting hardware for a couple of years and I actually did have a MPC for a couple of years, but it was one of the 1000s with the faulty pads and for years was to broke to fix it, so I ended up sticking to mainly software for production.
Due to the fact I got a deskjob I realized I didnt't want to spend my freetime also looking at computerscreen, so I ordered the padfix with the fatpads and some other parts online and refurbished my MPC1000. Now it works great and it acutally is a way of working I really like! Made more beats in the last week than in the last year so that says it all... and since I found this site in regular Google searches it made sense to register overhere. Anyway, long enough intro, here is the studio pic:
Current gearlist- Akai MPC 1000
- Akai S950
- a set of Alesis M1 Active monitors mk2's
- Arturia Microbrute
- DBX 231s equalizer
- Korg Microkorg
- Mackie 1202VLZ4 mixer
- Motu Audio Express
- an old Philips tapedeck
- a set of Technics SL-1200mk2's
- Vestax PMC05 Pro III
...and a pc and a bunch of records and a couple of headphones
Current setup works fine enough, although I need to figure out how to connect the S950, the Microbrute and the Microkorg to the MPC1000 using MIDI and still have a output to synch it to my pc to record it. And a interface with enough inputs to record it all.
