What is the name of that massive drum pack that someone sells each year on Black Friday? Trying to search for it but can't recall the name.

i'm making a music video for a retro-y dance track called '1 2 3' so i made this short demo to try out some things.

Actually pretty proud of this lil loop haha

I have the following setup:
A Technics Hi-Fi Amp.
A Vestax mixer connetced to the amp in AUX.
A Mixars (Serato) mixer connected to the amp in CD.Both mixers have two turntables connected to them.
Vestax only plays as expected when i select the AUX source.
Mixars plays when I select the AUX, the CD, the TUNER sources.Can anyone explain me why?
- Everything except phono ins should basically be an ‘aux in’ I think they’re only labeled different for organization’s sakeprophetone
- Maybe a ground issue or something?prophetone
- Both mixers are outputting a stereo line signal so...prophetone
- You could buy some rca splitters maybe to have the 4 rca lines merging into the 2 rca ins on AUXprophetone
- thanks for your replies so far.
1) I know it's all AUX.
2) Could be.
3) Hm...oey_oey - But if i connect a CD player, a Tuner and what do I know, they only play through the selected input.oey_oey
- Too complicated I guess that with the splitters. In the future I will invest in both a channel mixer and in monitor speakers.oey_oey

- how do you find the TMA2? I was amped for them but find them super muddy low end..autoflavour
- I love them. I've used their headphones for years. Had the first edition as my in-office headphones. The wireless ones make guitar recording so much easiermg33
- because I'm usually sitting in front of my computer, and the wired ones just constantly get in the way.mg33

- I still want one of these as much as I did when they came out.mg33
- its so much fucking fun. the price was hard to swallow but i use it all the time and the fact that i can just bring it with me wherever and make tunes is ❤️mantrakid
- Very nice. I too have wanted one since they came out. I had a friend that god one on release, barely used it and wouldn't sell it. We don't talk no more.garbage
- Actually kind of depressing, I don't play music anymore and have sold most of my gear. Everything from electric organs to tape loop ratchet gear.garbage
- All that remains is an AKAI MPK25. I still want an OP-1.garbage
- I have one and yeah it's fun to just jam with. Nice when flying too.ephix
- Weren't they just $700 when they came out?garbage
- i think the first version was 700 then they sold out and released a v2 later for 1200 or so, then they released the OP-1 Field (huge upgrade for ~$2000)mantrakid
- Ah, good to know. I think the one I played with was the OG. Maybe someday I'll snag a used one.garbage

do y'all do your own mastering? i see a lot of 3rd party plugins being mentioned.
anyone make a vinyl?
- Yes, have pressed vinyl. There is considerations for vinyl mastering re low end and mono etc.. definitely worth paying someoneautoflavour
- The biggest part of mastering is paying someone who hasn’t heard your song 1000 times to make a objective and unbiased assessmentautoflavour
- For online release's of my personal stuff i use https://emastered.co…
Ai based mastering, it's doing "okay" for the price.ApeRobot - For the project I'm hopefully finishing this year, I've considered using people who have mastered albums I really like. But that might speak more to the mixingmg33
- than the mastering, but I'm not sure. I'd definitely use an online service, have tested a few and for what I'm doing it would probably be okay.mg33

Midi Controller: Push 1 but mostly keyboard and mouseI'm pretty much all in the box now and much more productive for it. The outboard / modular phase was an important learning experience and going back to software with that knowledge has opened things up so much for me. The catalyst to switch back to software was the decision to focus on finishing tracks rather than just endless exploring and jamming and it serves that well.

- i really need to get some new monitorsautoflavour
- and yes, i replaced loosely took plugin/effect as any effect.. as i am pretty much 95% outboard now days..
for plugin tho, RC-20 Retro colorautoflavour - It's always in the back of my mind to see if there's an alternative to Glue worth getting but it does the job. Handy as a clipper too.mort_
