(Sticky This) How did you get started?

[Killah_Trakz]

Hello my goverment name is Patrick ,but im better off being called Trakz. Im 21 yrs old and have been into recording since the age 10. Its funny how i got started, i happened to go into someone's home who was using a dj mixer through the mic input and recording through acid, I reccomended that he sticks the dj mixer in the line input but he couldnt care less.

So i did the exact same setup but i chose the line in and started on vegas pro 1.0. Years flew and i got introduced to Quartz audiomaster pro 4.5, then Nuendo 1.5 >>>>>. 3.2. I loved the ease of nuendo but hated the internal summing.

Now im a samp junkie, and im breaking my neck to learn it. I hope i grasp on very quickly and continue to do my work. I have finished my personal recording of my album (Xpect da UnXpected) hiphop genre.

I've been using the same gear for the past 4yrs now, (not including the other specs from my win98-me days on another pc).

My current gear is as follows:
p4 2.40ghz
512mb
1 20gb/Os
1 80gb/rec
MAudio Delta 44 (88.2 is where this card shines @)
Mackie Control
Samp 8 (Renting)
Mackie HR-824
KRK V4
Mackie 1202 vlz pro
Rode NTK.

I got hooked when I was about 3 or 4 or so. I visited a neighbor's with my folks and the adults got me to recite my latest crowd-pleaser, Mary Had a Little Lamb, which I did with assurance and applomb.

Not more than a half-minute later some poseur, some wannabe, some me-too is coming out of nowhere reciting the very same deathless verse. Verbatim.


Turned out it was one of those old Wollensak 'piano-key' tape recorders (well, it was brand-new and very futuristic looking then)...

I didn't know such things existed and I was suddenly hooked.

When my dad mentioned that he'd fooled around with some early wire-recorders and he still had them out in the garage it was too much for me and I snuck out here (this must have been a bit later... I think I was around 6) and was able to get some kind of sound onto the extremely rusty wire (it was funky to handle, gritty with rust) and back out.

Within a few years that new development the transistor was making its way from the shirtpocket radio into other uses and one of the first ones was cheap, battery powered tape recorders. My folks bought me one for Christmas. It was so cheap it didn't even have a capstan. (The speed of the tape increased as the tape built-up on takeup reel.)

But it was a start.
