Speaking of picking up new toys...

I'm now the proud owner of the M-Audio ProjectMix!

Got it set up on the desk and looks very messy I know, will look better when I have chance to clear up in here. It's a fantastic piece of kit, works well with Pro Tools, Cubase, Sonar, Logic etc and can be put in different modes for each.
From the picture below, some may be able to work out that I've got it hooked up to my MacBook and working Logic on my Sammy tv

My son would love one of these.

 

All that just to play a few CDs:-D

 

Nah it can't play cds

 

Congrats on the brand new 'toy', McA!:cool Bet you'll get a lot of use out of that one.

[...Looks like you have the same speakers as I do, LoL!]

 

Ah they're just my basic speakers at the moment for playing music. They're getting replaced with these soon - http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/37568

Or maybe the next model up, if I can afford it!

 

135 quid! ~ Or do you mean the 250 quid ones?:eek

 

O I'll get the pair for £250. Although I'm looking at the next model up for £350...

 

Cool...looks like quite a setup!!

 

Setup? Nowhere near a setup yet!

 

Ha... I can't post about my "new toys" it's just not lady like...

So here's my new "baby"

Nice

I got a DJ Console MP3 a while back with Virutal DJ

I've thought about something like that - does it work well with Virtual DJ?

 

Works good for me but you need a good sound card.

 

At the moment I'm only using onboard for my current speakers - the ProjectMix will be my external soundcard when I have monitors connected up to it, and it performs fantastically well. May get myself a Creative jobby when I have some more funds.

 

Yeah i use integrated sound but i bought a USB sound card and use it for that.

 

Ah well the ProjectMix is firewire so I imagine it'll work just fine.

 

What style you mix?

 

Mainly club/dance but I'll do drum n bass and r n b - most modern stuff tbh, I've been known to mix Arctic Monkeys and Oasis with club music - can work quite well if you get the tempo right

 

I see i am learning to mix happy hardcore.

 

I see i am learning to mix happy hardcore and uk hadcore. I also like trance and dance.
