I grew up in Santa Barbara California getting into music real early. My father was one of those Jazz Sound Techs that utilized dual sync Tape Decks, Expanders, Compressors, Reel-To-Reels, Laser Controlled Turntables, 8-Tracks, and so forth. I started out with music tinkering around 12 with the MTV Music Creator -on- Playstation or I think Sega Genesis. Anyways... After making complex music so in depth it caused numerous crashes,- I just had to get a hold of anything I can to sound close to what I was hearing [That Distant Radio Station Playing that Jungle, House, Beats....] .. I ended up with an 8 channel Mixer, DoD Dimensions3 fx, HIFI VCR (extended play making gaming music videos 1hr+), Sound compressor, Pioneer cdj turntables, Analog/digital continuous cd burner, and a lot of tricks up my sleeve (non scratcher - not my style). Pawned it all after joining the Military...
Progressive experimentalist... Gotta love watching people flip on the decks something medieval :)
