SP-FORUMS

Whoa that was crazy. Seeing Bruce Li/Lord Beatjitzu at work got me motivated!

There's a case that's sold at the container store that fits the sp 303/404 perfectly and it looks like a gun case. It was around $18.

Maybe your SD card isn't fast enough for audio. I had this issue when I first got my SP404sx. The original owner threw in a 8gb card as part of the deal but it was a class 4 card (decent performance for an older digital camera).

Amazing beat tape. It motivates me to get back on the 404!

All the Salvation Army , Goodwill, St. Vincent De Paul stores and other thrift spots. The swap meets at Treasure Island, Laney College (Oakland), Alemany St (SF). Record Gallery and Rocket Reuse in Alameda. 101 Music in SF. Urban Ore in Berkeley is my diggin spot for gems.

Trent Reznor, RZA, MF Doom, Onra, Madlib, J Dilla, Rick Rock, Dj Shadow, DJ Krush, Dibia$e, Tokimonsta, Teebs, Flying Lotus, Dan The Automator, Danger Mouse, Portishead, 14kt, Tobacco, Blockhead, Dabrye, Sauce Fonda...etc etc.

I grew up in Oakland but I live in SF now. Actually, I've been following Secret Sidewalk for a while. Ya'll are dope. I've chopped it up with Alex a few times.

Absolutely massive track! Can't wait to hear the rest of the project.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the feedback. Bout to start working on the next beat tape.
