    Need tips and some help

    Your question is very general. If you're trying to make a beat on the 1000, then do this: On main screen, set program to DJ Hip set, set tempo to 184, press record and play simultaneously, tap this A2/A6/A2/A2/A6 (in time to the click sound). After you get past that, start searching this...

    'Best' LP, Production Wise....

    Werd Fade, I sat in on an amazing lecture at NYU where the Bomb Squad talked about how they made Nation of Millions, all before digital, straight from the SP1200 and S950 into the 2" tape, no protools, no automated mixes.

    Is Hiphop REALLY Dead?

    What up Shadeed, I don't totally buy this logic, music of hip hops golden age was original and groundbreaking, sonically and lyrically. Regardless if people grew up with it or not, it has to be recognized. And talking about the late 60's, early 70's, political climate was crazy, and...

    whatsup with american audio

    Hey bro That seems dated. Either go for the real deal (pair of turntables and a mixer) or go for the current technology (dj mixer that triggers mp3s on a laptop). CD mixers seem to be stuck in the middle. My two
