cool, I wish i had some decent equiptment at 14. I remember having only a busted up mixer from the 80s ,and some hip hop vinyl. I would practice doing the same sh*t all day, and making 100 remixes of the same accapella.

Now i have all the sh*t i need and more, just a lack of motavation.


how much r records anyways



usually around 50 cents to maby about...........................50 dollars.

The 1000 is a sick machine. All that u need is the mpc, turntable, mixer(or anything with phono preamp).
