Greetings all,
I am new to the forum. I was a DJ in a past life...some 20 years ago. I did bars and weddings mainly. In my spare time I enjoyed being creative and recorded mix tapes, back when they were actually tapes.
To illustrate my age I used a Gemini PMX 3500 and a Boss SP 202 sampler. Of course, I used Technics SL 1200s.
I have recently begun to get back into the hobby. Please note, I said “hobby” as I am not looking for jobs, purely as a way to be creative again in my spare time.
My mixing board is pretty much shot, it doesn’t work too well anymore. And while the sampler was impressive for its time, I feel there are better options out there.
I’m hoping I can get some feedback on my options or a route to go with new equipment, specifically a mixing board and sampler.
When mixing I enjoyed beatmixing and sampling random bits...layering each on top. The Boss SP 202 was good but I remember I was limited to only two samples being played at once. Ideally, I would like to play one to two samples at once during a mix, record, then playback and add more samples...
I’d love to see delay and slap back effects too.
I’m fairly certain there are plenty of options out there for me. The problem is, I’ve been out of the industry for so long I don’t even know where to begin, what brands are reputable, etc...
Any feedback on mixing boards or samplers would be most appreciative. Perhaps I don’t need a sampler, maybe a sequencer? Maybe I work solely from computer? Again not sure, there are so many options in this era.
My price point is max 2,000 US for each sampler and mixing board.
