tascam portastudio
Man, i recently unearthed my portastudio that had been buried in a box. I dont even know what to say about how hyped i am. With the 404 i have a totally backpack friendly studio, managed to get to tracks recorded on my lunch break yesterday and four more this morning at my lady's house while shes at work. This is gonna be the biggest thing for my productivity! So hyped right now just had to share.

Re: tascam portastudio
Damn, people all around me find cool shit...all I ever find are bills in the mail and ants in my sink.
I can't make beats with them shits...
Re: tascam portastudio
Crumple and tear the bills within range of your samplers built in mic and then layer with snares and hats. As for the ants, i just dont know...

Which one?
I actually have my PortaOne in my closet and have been tempted to start using it again, maybe I will!

I got the red ants n my sink. I tell my girl to rinse dishes or they gonna come. I dont want to hurt em but... I think i got bit by a big one or some other shit a week . My toes swelled up felt like something internal. Luckily found some old ab's that helped after three days. Still jacked. Like i just did this thread, sorry.
If u have some cinnamon laying round and can find where they r coming from. Put some cinnamon there. Its a line they will not cross.
That is a home remedy.and that is name of my new project coming up(plug)
As far as bills go whar quivive said is a wonderful idea.
You could also take them outside burn them and hail satan.
Your choice. Hope this helps.

Nice with the cinnamon. However, if I have to mail the bill back with payment, can't very well burn it and I need to keep them shits for my records.
It's like, I don't want them...but I have to keep them! No winning that one...lol

Re: tascam portastudio
Go out with the SP and a magnifying glass and pop the ants, then resample into handclaps..

If the shit goes down with the seller smoothly today, I might have scored me a Porta05 for 25$, barely used, box and everything...crossing my fingers!
