IT'S BEEN A WHILE. . . .

Well, well well. . . .look what I found!

I know it's been a LONG while since I've updated anything on here.  So here's what's been going on with me. . .

The whole thing with me has always been gear, gear and more gear.  Whatever it was, I'm always trying out stuff.  The KorgNano pads have been good, but now I'm on to more gear.  I've been getting into condensing everything and I have found them. . .

DENON DN-MC1000s

I've basically downsized the nano pads, and it gave me more control without touching the laptop.  3 endless knobs, sample player for the SP-6, and overall control, I don't think I've been able to maintain the giddiness of my joy for DJing after this.  Check the vids on youtube.  This has made it fun all over again!!!!  I do wish It could load the tracks from the files, rather than the crates sections. . .but that's a simple fix that I haven't done yet. . .

Lights, Speakers, and Stands. . .OH MY

So I bought more and more lights, and stands.  I bought a wireless controller to control the lights.  I think I've overdone it so much that it takes me roughly 3 hours to set everything up.  I've been doing more and more parties, and it's making my life a bit easier.

The new Magma Switchbox (version 2.0 ????)

You know, Ive been waiting for this for bout 2 years now, and they only updated the box (probably smaller), and the text and diagram on the box.  It's about time. . .but the price hasn't changed a bit though.  It's still roughly $200, so Imma wait for a little bit, or at least until I have another Dj that can help me with gigs (and take care of my equipment as if it were their own. . .but that's another story). . .

In Studio Set-up

My studio is slowly comring together.  More so for the Dj that want to record.  I'm still set-up for Audacity (low level stuff, I know), but I have an in studio set-up all Numark.  2 TT500's and an X6 mixer w/ effects.  I'm pretty happy with this. then there comes the full blown gear. . . 

UrbSound Studio. . .Don't mind the mess. . .I'm still working at it!

What you can see from the photos is a small sampling of what has happened since the last update.  A recording only computer running on Windows 7, an old Evolution 49 midi keyboard, another Evolution 25-key midi keyboard, an M-Audio FastTrackPro USB sound card (I told you it was low level stuff), a Behringer EURORACK MXB1002 mixer, 24 in screen, M-Audio Studiophile AV30's (will upgrade to Bx5a eventually), and more.  I recently bought MXL 900 and 901 mics, so I can record the friends that write acoustic guitar stuff.  I never thought I would go this far into the gear, but this passion hasn't died since 98, almost went away in 2005, but it came back with force 2 years ago.

There's more to come from Mag Flux / UrbSounds Collective / Dj Windz One presents, and it's only looking to get better over the next year or so.

If I don't update this, just keep an eye out on the projects. . . .It's going to be a fun year (so far, it has)!
