Very tasty gear collection. Tell me everything about that mixer! - very intrigued by it
You have a good eye, my man! Yes the mixer is the rug that ties the room together. For a long time Iād thought a dj mixer was what I was looking for in my process, which essentially is live improvisation with some hands on machines.
I looked at many options, really liked the xone db4 Dave mech uses, however I wanted analogue and something aesthetically a bit more to my taste. Also liked the model 1 with six channels and analogue but too pricey. This research led me down the rotary rabbit hole and to mastersounds. No six month waiting list, top sound, built like a tank and has valves which the guitarist in me likes. Got it earlier in the week and had a day off yesterday to hook it up and had a great day in the studio.
In short itās exactly what I wanted, Iām recording out to zoom H5 and I listened back last night - pretty sure I can crop the recordings and send off to get mastered. Very happy with it.
EQ isnāt drastic but excellent for balancing and morphing between channels, low end is great but more importantly it makes it obvious when to cut bass from a sound or sample. Itās also very musical and doesnāt get harsh. Level meters are useful.
Most importantly Iām mixing by ear and loving it.
Ultimately it doesnāt have a million feature but when it sounds so good and suns the channels so well, you donāt need them.
Cheers

Thanks bud, does it have separate cue output? Maybe it doesnāt make sense to have that on a DJ mixer ?
No but it has a pair of 1/4ā booth outputs and a REC output on RCAs, along with the XLR main outs. Iām using REC out and itās fine. Booth outs are going to OT in AB so I can grab loops. Also has an FX insert and return.
For cue it has some cool features - you can set the level meters to cue level on one and main out on the other. I havenāt used cue yet as I tend to get things roughly setup then hit record. My mistakes are often my best bits.

OT2. Looking forward to getting back to some creative sampling. Cut my teeth on Akai S1000 & S1100 before moving on to an S3000. Recently Iāve been āin the boxā, using Renoise as a massive sampler which works well enough but Iām definitely a hardware person. Just need to pick up a CF card now!

Another pedal, and this oneās surely a keeper. My intention was to find a high-quality effects pedal that could easily be moved around my room.

Iāve swung back and forth in this since itās release. I think bang for buck, itās unbeatable.

Just bought a circuit and a shruthi 1.
Im already thinking about flipping the circuit, but I think the shruthi will be a keeper. These are to play with the OT, so whichever works best will be the ultimate champion.

Yeah, thatās just it. I have an old Eventide (GTR4000) and another very old one (H910) in my desk, but I wanted something that I could move around the room and tweak away from the desk/racks. I like the small footprint of this thing and I like that I can edit it from the computer or iPad when I need to. I have it connected to my VCS3 at the moment and been flipping through the presets and doing some minor tweaking. I keep getting lost in jamming, so I imagine itās a keeper!

Oooft! Yeah man, drenching a VCS3 in 'verb would result in me never leaving the studio again!

Recently adopted a sweet old lady from Asheville, NC. Plan on spending some quality time getting to know each other, and hopefully sheāll get me good presents on holidays!

Got these on two on Friday. This one here arrived from an online purchase.
Itās not in as great shape as claimed unfortunately. Iām pretty sure I can fix the issues it has but it needs to be opened up which may be a bit of a challenge to do without really making a mess of it. Itās a VCO drum voice that can be played or triggered.
Depending on how the repair goes I may just rehouse it in a new box or mod the current case to be a desktop module. As it is it is a pretty unique sounding from voice. It should be cool when done.
This guy here I found at my weekly visit to the pawnshop
Iām not sure that I have any plans with the this one really. Iāve missed out on a couple sweet deals of these before and this was priced surprisingly reasonable that I decided to grab it. Itās in great condition so I may just flip it or if I get really ambitious I may mod it. Either way itās a cool little box despite its simplicity.

Is yours a Max? If so, I believe you can buy the Core and register it to your account and it will automatically be upgraded with all the Max algorithms for no extra charge. I might do that myself, actually.
