    They made that hard ass beat look so easy to cook up. Two of my fav artist/producers

    LoFi is basically using the equipment you had in your bedroom to make demos back in the 4-8 track days. I still use my MPC 3000 & ASR 10 to this day.

      The asr-10 is SUPER slept on. Dope sampler.

      It's also about the materials you used (warped, crackly records) plus the heroin-drummer swing 😁

      I had an ASR-10 in the 90's and 2000's. The whole thing, with the 6 additional external outputs box (OEX6SR), 16Go RAM, SCSI. I even found an obscure french app that allowed me to burn CDs of my Zip cartridges in Ensoniq's weird format. Sold everything because I had money problems. Worst day of my producer life, I loved this machine. I knew each and every menu item by heart and could access it with a speed I never found anywhere else. The FX on this unit are insanely good.

    I use to have a Tascam 4 track… but i think things didn’t change for me until I got a Roland SP808. I could do DJ mixes, add drops, and effects and view my tracks on a small display. Then I use to track that through a dual deck Sony CD Duplicator which costed like $500 at the time 🤣 now you can do everything with the laptop 💻

Casio keyboard with the pads ... speeding up records wayyyyy past the limit just to get a 3 sec sample.. then two tape decks for four tracking bouncing tapes back and fourth ... then even it out with the live scratching in the chorus for the crisp... 1989” first analog move...and I’m still here
