Thanks. The ghetto blaster is one of those new lansonics and instead of a tape deck you can dock your iPod in there. I love it.

Photos were taken with a Sony A200 with a bit of photoshop work because of the low light etc.

how do u utilize the sp 404 in ur production?


I use it whenever I want to automate live, sample through, or presample and resample drums. since its hooked to and from my patchbay, I can route it in or out of any of my gear in a second. If I want a slight reverb on a break I'm sampling into the 3k, I do.


The monitors are Dynaudio bm5a's

and Bose 301's


I love the 003. Its a beast, and it opens so many possibilities for effect and track automation. shit that I use to have to work for, I can do in 3 seconds.

The midi is rock solid, the sound is amazing, and the fact that you dont need to get carpel tunnel anymore is a plus too.

^^how do you like the masterlink? i think its a great idea seeing as it does basic mastering and disc burning all in one fairly inexpensive package.

is the mastering side of the machine good? like does it at least bring all the mixes up to commercial CD volume?

i've been interested in one for a while, let me kno what you think of it

Well.....The dell is kind of a love hate relationship, I went out and bought a new toshiba laptop and so I could use my dell for strictly music.I had to upgrade my ram to 2GB (That's the maximum) and then i went out and got that Minidisk hard drive to use with pro tools because they are so picky.But yea it's alright I mean you can always do better but it's what I got.
