Yea...not my parents, bitches....MY TURNTABLE!

For my ENTIRE beatmaking career, Ive been running my turntable into a shitty ass magnavox stereo. It had a place to ground the turntable, but it never worked perfectly. Some people can vouch for hearing a low humming end in some of the songs on my album "circling vultures".

I also tried at times to cut the humming out, but Id sacrifice lows of the sample of course.

Well...today...I invested in a Stanton SMX 401! My life has been changed FOREVER!

This thing is great, I can cut levels of the record BEFORE I get it to my computer....but whats even better is....NO UNGROUNDED SOUND!

On top of this....the guy at the store just up and cuts 75 dollars off the 200$ ticketed price! So i get it for 133.

I feel like Ive made off with a bargain, but I bet someone on here will tell me this mixer is crap....but hey, Im happy!

Yo, Nygh I'm feelin some cuts off your album, man.

btw, is that high pitched flute thing on "Improvise" all a sample, or did u play the melody yourself?

200-75 does not equal 133

but congrats on your upgrade

looks like a decent mixer, congrats
i remember when i switched from this 1970's ish realistic mixer i had with my old belt drive table to an smx 201 and a new direct drive with a nice cartridge, there were actually parts within songs i could hear now that i hadnt heard before, i went back through a lot of my record collection and heard all kinds of new accompaniaments that i had never known were there

200 - 75 + sales tax = 133
