wtf is up with...

[Ongelegen]

do people just not want to take the time to learn synthesis and experiment around on their own anymore?

that's the best part imo, especially experimenting

and you are a don concerning this!
serious skills.

overstatement of the week?

Back to ye olde acid house for grumpy old man.

I'm 21 and acid house is like the best thing ever, except juke.

Acid House is making a comeback???

I got a lot of old acid house, but I didn't take very good care of my records back then...

I guess I didn't forsee myself dj'ing for over 20 years

[Disco Nutter]

Wanker!!!

Now everybody go watch this:

[deamonds]

i hate you (sorry) so jealz.

my friend said they had an 808 at his house that his friend lent them, they didnt come out for like 3 days straight, literally, no sleep or nothing. ive heard of the old x0's, just started to get my hardware game up and they look tight. Someone is holding an MPC for me too so cannot wait to get that on the go

[deamonds]

by the way your avatar is jokes

[deamonds]

oh yea i just checked the x0 website, can't wait to have a proper read when I get home

[deamonds]

i'm in London myself mate, if I'm ever up near there I will definitely hit u up! I know what you mean about getting them to sound bad, impossible, those snares!! <3

oh and don't risk it mate, patience is a virtue! (although I am anything but, so risk it :-p)

[paradigm_x]

Ill post some mp3s and vids when i get it... will be waiting, building another x0x in the meantime anyway, and got the pcb for an 808 kick - going to slowly build an 808 in bits. Kick, clap, snare and hats most critical bits, then the others maybe.

ADM is good enough for one more month...

[FSTZ]

this is the thread of the week IMO

[ogunslinger]

how much are the 808's and 909's going for now? (hardware)

it would be dope to cop an 808 if I could, but most likely wayyyyy out of my budget :[

[Disco Nutter]

Yeah, the video is pretty cool.

I'd love to get my hand on some of those pieces, but wow. Money

the emulators on this bad boy are a nice substitute till i can get the real things

[deadly_habit]

i remember having a link to a shop that had the x0xb0xs prebuilt with all the devilfish mods to em, but no longer have the link (forgot to save my bookmarks when switching to new comp)
any clue anybody?

[ogunslinger]

808s are going for more than 909s IMO... if you get an 808 for 890 quid youre doing v well.

£1200-£1500 for a decent one.

FWIW I copped my 909 for £900 but it was a bargain as needed work and i knew the guy. £200 repairs = £1100 in total. But factory new, all caps changed, complete set of new tact switches (all the main buttons at the bottom) and a complete slean inside and out.

So did well.

And i know this all sounds very self indulgent but im 35 and been doing this for years, let alone a full time job since 22. Its an investment too, if i ever need to sell i should at least get my cash back. I bought one x0x with a tax rebate and won the other in a competition So not some trustafarian.

Yeah, thread of the week/year so far imo, all the old crew back together and having a decent convo.

How do i sound like armando BTW?

Word thats pretty sick! Yea most definitely out of my budget but maybe when I get better, and have some money (after car repairs and all..... ) I'll have to invest in one! I've always wanted one lol :p

Had to stop mid thread, as its been over 12 hours, and I need to get food, buuuuut, indeed searching before you post is the answer.

I really like the way they do it over on gearslitz when you start a new thread, I think you enter the title for the thread, and it searches for you, and it gives a few threads that are likely matches. I swear I've searched and not turned up the threads it suggests, saved me the embarrassment of posting a fairly obvious question a handful of times.

We need that.... yes this is a farcical post. Never gonna happen.

I consider this forum dead. Which is a real shame, I learned a lot here, feel like I helped a lot of people, and have had no end of lolz. But its dead. The google bot is fucking constantly in here, and every time that bitch is up in here, we get 10 new skrillex people. I'm sorry, I just don't want to carry on a conversation with a skrillex person. I'm sure the feeling is mutual, but I/we were here first. Yes, the same shit was going on in 07, but to a much lesser degree.

Anyway, am looking for a new forum to call internet home, all the skrillex cockroaches can have this place.

[nowaysj]

So im debating whether to get it couriered, and risk it getting lost/damaged (its in factory mint condition now) or to just wait. 3 f'in weeks tho!

Cheers

Just had an old eq delivered. It arrived with a hefty thump, and was DOA. DON'T DO IT.

skrillex will probably follow you wherever you go

just ignore it? works for me

[shaneynclan]

why do you think i don't really read this forum anymore op?
it's too bad, because a forum like this could really push the genre forward, but instead the random useless idiots continue to run rampant and destroy everything.

[nowaysj]

That's really the loss right there. All the regulars capable of carrying on a decent conversation have all pretty much vamoused. There's some new young bucks that seem cool but I don't think it's enough to sustain it.

Oh look who's logged in... Google [Bot]

sad times for dubstep an dsf prod forum imo.
