[THE INTRODUCE YOURSELF THREAD!]

How are you guys doing out here? I'm GMSp808guy from the states, shoutout to Dan Swift for introducing me to digitalvertigo from sp-forums! I see this site as a sort of "stepping stone" for me to learn more about new production/deejaying ideas/techniques, as well as discussing some of my ideas/techniques. My first true sampler was the Roland SP-808, in my prior ignorance of differentiating between samplers, grooveboxes, sequencers, and synths, I bought a Roland MC-303 groovebox thinking i'd right away record video game soundtrack music into it, and chop the sounds, pitch them, sequence, etc. only to find out it ain't a sampler! I believe i've come a long way from that foolery haha! ( though now I wish i'd kept the groovebox just to work with it's built in patterns and sounds ). Anyway, my main piece of gear is the SP-808, my favorite part of sampling with it is recording into it using its awesome effects in insert record, and recording directly to one of it's 4 tracks is pretty cool too! I'm happy to be here, looking forward to reading and discussing all the different kinds of stuff posted here!

 

My regards, Gio.
