Super underratedAll hail DJ Toomp
One of the most underrated producers in the game
Still wish Tip and Toomp would make a full album together
It is lowkey but you can find deals if you look hard enough
Breh I got an MPC Live 2, Korg Triton Rack, Korg 01W and the keyboard that took me to the next level: Ensoniq EPS 16+

I usually hit up Reverb mostly and sometimes eBay (after having to buy 2 EPSs cause the first didn’t work
but it was a blessing in disguise cause the second one I bought had the ram expansion which increases sample time and the seller was selling it at a stupid low price cause he didn’t have the boot disk for it))Dap and repI usually hit up Reverb mostly and sometimes eBay (after having to buy 2 EPSs cause the first didn’t work
Reverb is cool if you want shyt tested and working right when it comes to you. eBay is cheaper but you’re taking a gamble especially if shyt hasn’t been serviced for issues. I got lucky on eBay, but I prefer Reverb cause the folks there take extra care of you and usually 9/10 times the gear you buy WILL work without any extra bs cause it’s usually been serviced/repaired/refurbished before they listed it (which is also why it’s so expensive at times
Breh you gotta get one! I was the same way only wanting to use my Live 2 originally when I got back into making beats, but I bit the bullet first with the 01W and they all started pouring in after that. Over time I ended up with a lot of equipment I got mad deals on (and sometimes got over on the seller cause they didn’t know what they had and was hot when they realized they could’ve sold it for way more if they realized how rare some of that shyt isBreh I'm trying to avoid the temptations of being a gear slut, but the marsupial needs a synthesizer
) I became a believer in the Ensoniq magic using it as my main weapon of choice. Now I wanna get an ASR-10
Also: if you wanna go the computer route, Splice does the Rent-To-Own on a lot of popular plugins/DAWs for pretty fair monthly payments and it’s yours to keep when you pay it off
Bolded is so true.
Guitar CenterIt is lowkey but you can find deals if you look hard enough
I like Guitar Center (the employee used his employee discount and some other shyt and I walked out of there with an Open Box-Excellent condition MPC Live 2 for $550 when they normally retail for $1200Guitar Center
), but I been getting more vintage gear so Reverb and eBay are pretty much the best bets for vintage stuff
