the LuSH101 is a beast of a synth. Absolutely amazing but it's pretty hungry on the CPU.

I've got 7 of them. Not bad.

whales... it's NOT in Scotland. it's at the mouth of the Thames near London.

I gave up reading this version of the story when it said it's off the coast of Scotland. Its about 350 miles south of the Scottish border. It is however Scottish promoters who are trying to do it. Can't see it happening to be honest. Would be cool though.

yeah cos someone else does that for her. boot.

i want that set-up/table at the bottom.

they're pretty cool.

Can't wait for this album to drop.

some label. All the driftwood stuff is dynamite.

deeeeeeeeeep. proper deep house.

a) - Granted they create jobs but most large scale businesses pay the minimum wage they can get away with. Add to that the cheap labour used to make iphones, nikes etc.... Some of these factories have suicide netting because the conditions are so bad to work in. - GST, or VAT in the UK - Large companies & multi-nationals do not pay VAT. Starbucks and Tesco being the biggest two that spring to mind. They contribute nothing to the government unless, as happened to starbucks last year, they come under heavy public criticism. In which case they pay a pittance to the government. c) Surely you must know that rich people do not pay tax? They are the ones who get tax breaks and over and above that hide their money in offshore accounts etc. <-- which they can be penalised for to be fair. Although to swing the balance of fairness firmly back in the rich court... a prime example of how the rich get away with not paying tax, even when caught evading it, is Bernie Ecclestone's £2 billion tax bill that he got settled at £10 million. I know that if I fill out a tax return and I owe a small amount, say a few hundred pounds, I get harassed and threatened with court action if I didn't pay. So please explain to me again how great the 1% are?

agreed. Also Allen & Heath's are pretty much the standard mixer in Europe.

Of course they are but it needs to be weighed up against the ones they keep poor to attain this wealth. And as it stands the number of poor grossly outweighs the rich and by quite some monetary divide. I would hazard a guess that the people who are making these beats headphones definitely can't afford a pair and I doubt they'd be able to afford to a buy a pair at the $14 it cost to make them. Capitalism works for the 1%.

everything is wrong with capitalism

I've got the Novation Remote SL MkII. Would highly recommend. http://us.novationmusic.com/midi-controllers/sl-mkii The only downside is that ableton doesn't like automap very much. Of course this is a software compatibility thing rather than anything to do with the actual keyboard.

They need to be good, not huge.

Like you touched on, it's only as easy as the monitors allow it to be.

I'd still not like it in any way.

Good article. I'm still contemplating getting a pair of cdj's. Would love the 2000 Nexus but reckon the 900 Nexus will do me fine. Just need to save them pennies. Still need a mixer first and foremost though...

ditto. Don't think that adding paper under the mat will be uselful unless your scratching??? I know I would never need it anyway.
