Been working on my studio for a while, switching gear in and out. I want to keep it like this for a while so I can focus on making music. Had a MPC 1000 and sold it as I was using FL Studio and Sound forge for drums and sampling. Realized I missed the MPC for sequencing and quickly putting together interesting drum patterns, so I picked up the 5000. So far I like it a lot. Made a lot of beats with it so far and have used a couple beats so far for a new CD I should be finished with in the next couple months. You can DL my last CD which is a little old at the top of my myspace for free. I used the 1000, fl studio, and the XS on that one. I used a triton for one if the songs too. anyway, here's my studio as of today:

only gear that I have bought sense moving out to Brooklyn. Had a asr-10 for sampling, wasn't really efficient enough for what I am doing. MPC work flow is faster for me. Still not perfect, but what is.

I love this keyboard! Fast to get ideas out and work with and using m-lan to get the audio one shot to cubase is perfect. If the drum editing and sampling on it didn't suck this would be all I needed.

have had the ultralite for a couple years now. had a lot of mixers and this one has really low latency and was cheap. might upgrade to the traveler now that I have the 5000 to use the ADAT.

Haven't been using the records lately as I have been making beats mostly with the XS and MPC + my record player is broken.

right now I am out in Brooklyn performing and making music, if anyone out here wants to collaborate out here I am down with that. However, I am not just going to supply beats for free to people. needs to be equal effort!

nice setup, but you should separate your speakers a bit [if possible] for a much better stereo effect in that room.

Nice lil setup you got there. I had the XS8 with cubase Ai4 and the 5k and my dell computer. No mixer or other interface.

I picked up all the equipment, minus the MacBook Pro, for 1k!!!

Gotta love hookups, all brand new stuff. Working on the room, will update.

Need some monitors, I'm shooting for Yammie's HS80's

I got the Numark TTX1 broken, it wouldn't power on at all, got it powered on, I'm going to switch the motor from a TT500 that I'm getting for 100 bucks in the the TTX1.
Paid $5 for the thing, I think it was a good deal, I'll use it for samples.....

What you guys think?
