camping trip
im going on this annual camping trip my step dads family does. im very close with them all, theres a bunch of cousins my age who all still go. one of them raps and weve collabed often, and were sharing a site. thinking of using the sp-404's portability to make an album. prolly going to get a cheap cassette recorder/player and some cheap cassettes and try using those mixed with some nature sounds. maybe get my rapping cousin on some tracks. this is kinda like Kanye going to Wyoming but for me its this campground that has a lot of history for me and my fam. you guys got any ideas about this? anybody do something similar ever?

Re: camping trip
I do it all the time
SP 404 sx, numark pt01 scratch, kaossilator and I hook everything into edirol m 10 dx. Sony bluetooth speaker too.
Everything runs on batteries, occasional power bank (for numark), and it's always a good trip.
I'm more into trip hop though, but it's pretty much the same thing.
Parks, public pools, woods... Sample sounds from nature and combine them with vinyls. Good times

Re: camping trip
If possible, bring a cheap mic, and the longest cable you have along. Set up your mic by a raging river, or where water makes sounds if possible. If that don’t work, try just recording crickets at night. Or frogs croaking. Whatever nature provides, sample it!!

Re: camping trip
Sounds awesome. I have a camping experience but it wasn't serious and interesting. Actually, I'm not the best adventurer. I get lost very quickly. I remember how I got lost in Seattle https://worldpostalcode.com/united-stat ... on/seattle and without maps, I couldn't have remembered a way to my hotel.

I'm homeless, does that count?
Sonetimes I 'camp out' in an alley behind some dumpsters and make real dirty beats yo.
