| With the money I made selling my DJM-600 (I must say I sold it for a loss, but tis life) and my almost non-existent Holiday bonus (recession blows) I have just purchased a Rane TTM-56 and Pioneer EFX-500. I really didn't need DJM-600's multi-channel and sampling capabilities and I couldn't stand that lousy fader curve on it anymore. It's a great mixer... for electronica DJs. I was content with my Stanton SK-2F until I realized I would really like to hook an effector up to the mixer, but alas SK-2F doesn't offer a send/return channel. I couldn't say the sound quality of SK-2F matched other mixers 3, 4 times its price, either. But, I can certainly match the sound quality with TTM 56 and make my mix sessions much more versatile with an off-board effector unit like EFX-500 hooked up to TTM 56's awesome assignable and tweakable send/return channel. Now I need to sell my other stuff and get myself a new sampling drum machine/sequencer and a mixing console to complete my studio revamp... Must save money... Oh yeah that reminds me I need to buy some sample CDs as well.. *SIGH*... I swear that it's only when I need to buy music gear or tune my car that I feel like I should just go commercial and choose money over intellectual satisfaction... |

funny that you mention it... I had ordered a 10 pack of those last week. :)

Verbatim has released a line of CD-Rs dubbed Digital Vinyl. The discs look like little 45-rpm records. On the label side of the CD-R is what looks like a big hole; around the label is a black section that even has grooves, like a record. The recording side uses Verbatim’s high-speed Azo blue technology, which is perfect for music. The recording side of the CD-R should have been black to complete the effect. Available at Target Stores. (from PC Magazine 12/24/02 issue).
