The MPK Mini MKII is worlds apart from the MKI and is a lot better. The USB cable is now full sized rather than Micro USB, and there is now a Sustain Pedal input for the serious keyboard players. It even comes with more software including Sonivox Wobble and Air! Hybrid 3.

I like the fact that it's sturdy and can take a beating, and also the ID button can control anything that you want choosing from a number of options such as Dim, Mono, Mono+Polarity, and Scroll Control. I use Mono because that is more useful than scroll control for the genre of music that I produce, where Mono Compatability is essential.

I bought this with some money I got for my birthday, and I'm amazed by the sound quality but not by the Build Quality. The only sturdy thing on this is the Microphones/Cage around the Microphones. The rest of the unit feels like it may break further down the line.

Cableguys halftime is Affordable yet versatile. Run any audio file through it to slow it down a lil!!!

If you thought gain staging was easy before, then GET THIS PLUGIN!!!! Unfortunately the 40% Sale is over but the price is still pretty low!!!!!!

This plugin may be an extremely stripped back version of Ozone, but it still packs a punch. There are 3 modules which are extremely simple to use. I Love it, and recommend it to my mates who are on a budget.

I have had Sylenth1 Since March and am SUPER pleased with it. There is a misconception that only EDM Producers use Sylenth1, but i've found that for resampling material such as standard Reese Basses and even Pads!

In recent years, many have tried to knock this beast off it's perch, however none have succeeded. The Synth that has come closest to doing so is Phase Plant.... But even that has not managed to knock serum out of the running. I have used this synth since i bought it in march, and i must say, IT IS A BEAST! For me, even the likes of Phase Plant can't live up to the legendary name that is serum.

I have owned this product since April, and i must say, wavesfactory completely knocked it out of the ball park. Perfect for producers of Bass Music who need a solution to the endless battle of the fighting kick and sub.

I used to use the stock ableton Drum Bus, until i found this plugin. I tested it out and you can choose how much bass you want in your kick, rather than just tuning the bass.

I bought this last year, and I must say, even though I don't use it much, I forgot how powerful this synth is. It's great for every Electronic Producer. 10/10!

I bought these in my hometown of Bristol, and they BLEW ME AWAY!!!! The response is basically flat. At first, I thought that there was little bass in the headphones but as I used them for about an hour, they started to show their true colors. I use them with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, and even though I have to whack the volume of the headphones up to full volume, they are still the best headphones I have ever used.

I bought these nearly a week ago and they are the best DJ/Monitoring headphones I've ever had. I am never going back to my SRH750s!

This daw is brilliant for anyone who has dyslexia or a visual impairment as it is simple, and easy to use, especially with the ability to change the skin of the software. A must have for anybody looking for a professional DAW.

The PT-01 Scratch is versatile, good for sampling and scratching, and just for listening to music. The only two things I recommend getting to go with it, are the scratch steady by stokyo, and the MK Head shell weight. Apart from that, it's perfect!!

I got this through a family member who ordered it for me. I have to say that it's really good especially for people who want to start using CDJs, however, I feel that the Jogs are slightly flimsy. I have seen people performing backspins without having to adjust the Jog tension. I did this in a mix and I can now hear clicking which scares me a little as I'm heavy-handed at the best of times due to visual Impairment. The other thing that annoys me is how big the tempo is and the fact that there's a waveform on the screen. If I could I would replace the screens with ones form a pair of CDJs so I can get used to beatmatching by Ear because I can't see the tempo on CDJs as the screens are further away and smaller. Apart from that the Only thing I am going to change is the knobs to make them feel even more like a DJM Mixer. Amazing bit of Kit and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!!

These speakers may be small, but pack a serious punch when it comes to frequency ranges. However, it does lack slightly in the sub end, as they are only 20W speakers, although you can connect a subwoofer to them using the sub's cable, plugging it into the back of the Right Speaker. I have actually had people ask me, "how do you get such a clean mix?" and I told them that you don't need to splash out on the latest, professional gear. All you need is a good, reasonably priced pair of speakers, some good mixing and mastering VSTs and the knowledge of frequencies and how to mix them properly. All in all, Brilliant quality for only £100!!

Don't know if I'd be able to live without these monitors!!

Gator have done it again!!! It's strong but still provides protection for your MicroKORG, MicroKORG XL+, Novation Mini Nova etc.

The MicroKORG has 128 Presets, 37 Mini-Keys and a built in vocoder. There is a massive stigma that comes with the microKORG, in that the mini keys are a problem to some people, but I would say to them just get over it. If you don't like it, then just sell it. The Presets are amazing, the waveforms are digital, but thanks to the processing, and the filters, the thing sounds just as good as a moog but for a fraction of the price!!! Big ups to KORG!

Behringer has always had a reputation for being shoddy and cheap, however, since being bought out by Music Tribe (Who Also own Klark Teknik, Midas, and others) they have become MUCH better for Build Quality, and AMAZING sound Quality!! This synth is semi Modular so is really good for Sound Design.
