USHER: “U REMIND ME” (2014 REBOOT)

Another 2000’s hit rebooted for 2014!  I’ve been planning this for a loooooong time but procrastination got the best of me. It features the sweet instrumental from the ubiquitous Kid Ink / Chris Brown hit “Show Me” (which, in turn, samples the 90’s classic “Show Me Love” by Robin S). Recycle…recycle…recycle.

NUMARK 4TRAK – Final Review

[EDITED JULY 19 ’13] So…barely 3 weeks, 4 gigs & 2 mixtapes in, I decided to trade in my 4Trak.  Even though I absolutely LOVED using it, I had the following issues: 1. SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY: When my Macbook mysteriously crashed the other day & I had to scramble for a backup, it became very clear that …

NUMARK 4TRAK – Review (I)

[Review updates can be found here] So I finally gave up my rock-steady Mixdeck! It was tough seeing it go…but I’m sure it’s in good hands now 🙂 It was time to move on to something else. So, I got this: The Numark 4Trak + Kommand FX bar. A close brother of the Numark NS6, …

Numark Mixdeck – Final Review

My FINAL review of the Numark Mixdeck! My next controller review will not feature the Mixdeck, as I’m moving on to something else. It’s been a fun ride though.  I’m definitely a Numark fan!  The Mixdeck has been pretty sturdy and reliable. Served me through a lot of gigs, mixtape recordings, practice sessions…you name it! …

Since my first review about a year ago, my Mixdeck has taken quite a beating 🙂 But it’s been super reliable and I’ve grown pretty fond of it. HOWEVER, over time I’ve noticed a couple of things: 1. The faders aren’t very strong, and my crossfader has popped out a few times. I guess a …
