  1. My dad pretty much was on the world-wide-web as soon as it became available. The company he worked for was selleing PCs to their employes. A Star 386 cost 5000 euros instead of 8000 which was a bargain back then. So my brother and I where in the net almost at the start. I recall having a text-file where I would store all the web-adresses that I would access/check out whenever I got the chance to use my dads PC. So in the early time I recall looking for MMA stuff (rented UFC 1 on VHS when it came out in 1996) and was stumbling on Sherdog.com which is the DV of MMA-Websites. Also was visiting the website of "The Ruff" which was a guy from the UK who I ordered vinyl from before the internet was around. Before the website, I would get a mailorder-list by snail-mail, where you could fill out the order-sheet, fax it to the Ruff, he would fax me back the total amount so that you could send him a check to then receive the ordered records by mail 3-4 weeks later. So with his website the process to order records was a blessing as you could order faster etc. In terms of news I was and still am visiting Spiegel.de which is a weekly news magazine from Germany which is really reliable and has an online presence pretty much since the start of the net. That magazine is owned 51% by the employes/writers which I find rather unique in news-media. And of course there were the porn sites. Big shout out to the user "stupid dummy" from D's Forum who was providing free logins for all these sites pre streaming to the scratch community 😁
  2. Must be the foam. @Steve Pdx's are still one of the best options (besides ttx's), when it comes to just scratching. Especially when you like to scratch these sped up samples that you scratch at -20%. I have a lot of younger scratch buddies who settled for these new OEMs, which are nice. But they also prefer a pdx over the newer ones when it comes to just scratching. The Stanton Str8-150 are the bomb too and the Reloop 8000s with a straight arm...
  3. Still rocking my sewer slimes on my mixing station up to this date!
  4. Nice one Steve. I've successfully indoctrinated my kids with Beatles music (I think it was Dan Swift who told me to do so as he is an avid fan of the Beatles) so this seems nice as a x-mas present...
  5. Damn! R.I.P. Mark the 45 King. What a legend
  6. Looks nice. I still regret selling my Vestax Faderboard though
  7. I just bought a Akai S-3000 for 200 swiss francs. It was still in the sealed box and was stored in a Hi-Fi-Shop since 1993-1994ish. The price back then was 2999 £. It's quite a bargain and I always wanted the S-3000 (I already have the S-950) so I'm really exited about that purchase.
  8. "Take this job and shove it" is still one my favourite punk tracks
  9. They should have put 8 midi-buttons instead of 4 with a shift-button. If ever I will buy a new turntable in the future it'll be the Reloop RP-8000mkII
  10. Welcome to the glorious club of the ScratchBox owners (i got mine with the bag too when it came out). I've never had a scratch DJ visiting my crib who didn't liked that exotic mixer. Treat it well ☺️
  11. No no. I think that SL2-SL4 was capable of running Serato-DJ (the TTM57sl never was Serato-DJ-capable because of the usb1-connection) and now they discontinued the support it seems...
  12. They leave Serato do their thing, which I guess is a good thing. It just sucks that all my devices (Rane TTM57-sl, SL2 and SL3) no longer are supported and you can only use them with Scratch-Live (no Serato-DJ)...
  13. @Jam Burglar You need to buy some orange acid based cleaning fluid to get rid of that sticky surface. It's a known phenomenon...
  14. What a shame. Is there a way to transfer the images to another host and then modify all the image-links from the forum via some sort of update-statement?
  15. We use it whenever we can't find info on the web regarding coding. For example we still use SharePoint 2019 on premise. Most articles in the web are now about SharePoint 2019 Live (the cloud version of SharePoint 2019) and finding stuff about 2019 on premise is a bitch to find. Ask that freaking ChatGPT and that thing is providing only 2019 on premise infos, because you tell him so.
