my DJM500 is still going fine and i've had it since 2002. sometimes i pull the EQ knobs off when i'm mixing jeff mills records and one of the channels has got quieter on the right side of the stereo but apart from that it's fine. i'm not replacing it until it dies. i want to get my full moneys wort...

you can do that by using aux knobs not a problem with a&h just another way of doing that :) OK, but it's a pain in the arse. You wouldn't say to a scratch DJ about a mixer with no crossfader, "you can do the same thing by using the up faders, it's just another way of doing the same thing&q...

There's just no satisfaction in using other peoples creations. I generally just hold onto the one shots and scrap the loops. If the loop...

A77s and B77s tend to be durable; I haven't had any problems at all with my B77. I use it for tape delay (did a post on this a while back for how to rig up a tape echo with a B77 and ableton) and general warming duties, bouncing drums, sampling tape noise etc. I don't often use it for bouncing entir...
