Unbroken1 …needing to get the home studio/edit suite up to scratch for WFH purposes, invested in some smart new stands for the Adam’s

How do you rate the ISO Acoustics Damo? I have a pair supporting my Dynaudio AIR6’s and use them, but largely think their claims are hogwash. They definitely take the piss on how much they cost. I was kind of shocked to find out they’re a Canadian company for some reason.

…always thought they were daft expensive to justify on their own, but they are integral to the stands. The monitors sound infinitely better on the stands than on the desk, but don’t think this can be attributed to the Isoacoustics, more likely improved by position and distance between speaker/ears

With the CDJ3000 released will Pioneer drop the price on the 2000’s?

    SM001 Recordcase.de already selling them for under 1900 € a piece.

    I don’t know what this little toy is but Farina is bumpin some proper Deep House on it. Love it.

      LT42 I watched a few of Jonathan Peters’ streams during lockdown and it was a similar kind of setup. First time I’d seen someone DJ for hours on end without any form of turntables. Unique I suppose!

      LT42 is that a version of the mpc? not sure as i don’t use them, but looks similar.

        Amps that makes sense. i’m not looking it up, just to make sure i don’t want to buy one haha.

          303abuser In which case, if you get chance to use one, defo don’t have a go, you’ll want one, they’re tons of fun.

            Amps lol i know better. i bough a drumbrute friday as they were on sale for a price i couldn’t turn down.

              Along_the_Wire I have a pair of 8040’s which I’ve had for almost 10 years. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I also have a pair of old yamaha’s (around 20 years old!) which are just so harsh by comparison. Far too big for my current room tho - but looking at other solutions. Was in the BT sport studios a couple of years ago and can confirm they have them in there.

              Just on this point, the DJS1000 does a great job on the chunky button front, very easy to get along with.

              loopdokter haha that’s exactly what happened. ultimately i want either a rytm or tr8s for a dedicated drum machine, but for $300, i couldn’t turn it down.

                I’ve nearly pulled the trigger a few times on discounted DrumBrutes as well. They’re not well loved for the sounds they generate. The clap is a bit shit, but other elements are alright. I own a Behringer RD-8 and I’ve come to learn I largely use drum machines for samples and that’s it.

                I want to get my hands on one of the Behringer TR-606 clones. That’s always been a personal fave sound of mine.

                  loopdokter it’s definitely a little thin, but so is a 909, they all need processing. i like it’s limitations, it makes me focus on building a groove quickly, where my digitakt and a4 both do a great job, but have to many options that lead me to wandering too much.

                  i like the 606 hats too, all the roland boxes have something their good at. that’s one of the reasons i’ve had my eye on the tr8s.

                  …got rid of the TR8 but really fancy going back in for a TR8s, figure I’d like one hardware drum machine and it seems to do everything I’d want of one

                    Unbroken1 plus the ability to sample makes it a good option. i love the rytm, they’re just so bloody expensive. i’m a big fan of the tanzbar too, again just really expensive, but the toms especially sound amazing.

                    …yeah, the TR8 was intuitive to programme, but just felt a bit ‘dry’, the ability to add some samples and build-up useable grooves is a game-changer. The Rytm looks great, and I know has some fans on here, but just looks a much steeper learning curve
