  1. Had mine for a few days now and yeah, it has a pop sound. You can barely hear it when you turn the volume all the way up on the turntable and adjust the sound from your mixer or amp. I believe Rasteri that it will always be present with a passive fader. Trade-off ain't bad since you won't have to worry about powering up the fader. The cuts are smooth as hell and sounding loud and clean when recording into my OP-1, which was a problem I had with the OG Raiden.

  2.  

    Got a chance to try it last night with Jesse Dean himself and it definitely feels how a crossfader should feel with 2 rails. It isn't optical or magnetic and still has strips of contact, but is copper instead of carbon. The copper strips have a protective coating that I think protects from oxidation. Very light feel and cut is sharp. I'd have to have one for at least a week to give it a stamp of approval, but from what I tried yesterday, it seems like a solid portable fader.

    You already have it? :ph34r:

     

    Not yet, but I got one on preorder.

  4. Started with the weaker hand on the record and never looking back. My first mixer was a Gemini PMX-16 and was impossible to cut on with my weak hand. Wish i can cut with both hands equally, but I'm getting older and just want to master what I know best. Why waste time when you can already make music, ya know?

     

    I'll add that if I'd ever get a C1 though, I'd learn,

  5. I have MPC500s too(4 of them), SP-404sx, and Microsampler. I just love that 404 for multiple purposes. It's a super fun machine. I mainly use the 500 for finger drumming, but sampling and sequencing with it is actually pretty easy. Saving stuff is a pain though.
