Gear 7

I was looking for a record player, so that I could have everything I needed to transfer old media formats to new. I already had my reel to reel and my vcr, now all I needed was a record player. I found this beauty on ebay. I had never seen a linear turntable. It worked fine until it was time for me to move, I accidently cracked the dust cover. I had to buy a whole new one from a guy who lived in Spain. It took about a month to arrive because of customs. When it arrived I saw that during shipping the dust cover had been cracked just like my old one. I finally found someone who had a dust cover and liked to work on these turntables, I traded him for the turntable that came from Spain, repaired my original Technics turntable, and the rest is history.
I was looking for an audio interface, so that I could record vocals and produce beats. I quickly found out that this was not it. I kept it anyway and used it as a patch bay, for my record player, reel to reel player, pc, etc...It has done it's job for 14 years without a glitch.
My first set up was a Tascam US-122, it did it's job for years until i bought a new PC which used Windows 7. I found out my Tascam was not compatible, so I had to upgrade my interface. My brother-in law suggested the Avid M-Box. In fact he had one laying around that he was not using. I took it home and have been using it ever since. I was asked to record vocals for a kids play, all I needed was the Mbox my laptop, a mic and stand and we were ready to go.
Bought these a few years back, I've been using them to record vocals in my studio and to produce music. Greats sound. I like how the ear pieces swivel up so that you can here what's going on in the background. I also like how either side has a jack to connect to. First thing that went wrong is that one of the earpiece cushions broke off, I have to crazy glue it for it to stay. Second thing, the jack on the left ear has a short in it, so it only plays out of one earpiece. I switched to using the right jack. Other than that the sound is great. You can't do better than Beats Detox.
Great little controller, for beginners. Does everything I need it to do. Works great with virtual dj.
I needed something in between my subwoofer and my tops since they are both powered. This was perfect for what I needed. I haven't had a single problem with it. It has a sub outlet dedicated for use with your subwoofer. My highs stay high and my lows low. Best of stl no feedback.
I upgraded from Steinberg Cubase VST to Cubase 7 Elements. I had to learn the new software, but I like the new start up page and the mixing options, among other things.
