FINALLY I CAN MAKE BEATS....For the past few months i've been on like 9-4 pads cause the rest died on my 1k...was gonna get the pad fix, but theyre outta stock so i went back to my roots got the 2xl, ram upgrade with zip for $250 from guitarcenter. :D
Only thing not pictured is my vinyl collection on the other side of the room, takes up three shelves, my 2 guitars and boss ME-50 fx pedal.

gonna run my drums and most vinyl through the 2xl, trigger the jj in the 1k with the xl as well as Reason 5 then drop both mpc's into separate tracks through my Presonus Firestudio into my DAW.

yeah they are, but I stay on craigslist/ebay and picked it for like 250is,which is still pricey for what i use it for, would never pay the 700 i once saw them going for in a store...I love buning my beats to a cd and then scratching it up on the cdx for more flavor.

ARkyve does that CDJ have a moving platter? I've been looking for a good cdj with a vinyl platter.

yeah the platter spins with a vinyl top so it feels more realistic when trying to cut and scratch, and its on point, accurate as hell, just like a needle on vinyl

^^ oh yes Commodores are great.
One question to those who have this album (from the pic above). My version got some crazy mistakes with the song list on the cover. Its a german pressing 1C 064-61 879 and I wonder if other pressings are the same

Image

Well its not that bad to find two extra songs on a record that are not mentioned on the cover :D



peace
