Toys that make Noise

Merry Christmas to me!
I'll say thank you to my parents for these two new toys! I'm sure they'll bring me hours and hours of entertainment... oh, wait, they already have. :)

Numark DJ IO soundcard:


Numark Total Control (controller):



These pictures don't do these two gadgets much justice... really it's something you have to hear!

I plugged in the soundcard this afternoon and was floored at how much different it was to mix with monitors! And then after a few hours of playing with that I went and picked up the Total Control which is kind of an entry level pro DJ controller but has had good reviews (and is significantly cheaper and lighter than the VCI-100). I've been playing with it for about 3 hours now and I have to say... WHEEEEE!! It's so much fun!

In response to Sol's question regarding which pictures were printed... here they are. I think most of them were posted here during my trip or during the summer.

Tokyo - Yebisu the Garden Place - Sven Vath (DJ) - this picture turned out really well printed... it's pretty noisy but when printed it actually looked surprisingly good

Chiang Mai (Songkran Festival - Sunday Night Walking Market) - I'm not so impressed with this one

Angkor Wat (Cambodia) - the only "postcard"-type print

Not sure which ones are going up on the wall yet... I still have to get frames (at least 2) and then I'll decide.

Nice pics! I think the Hong Kong skyline is my favourite, or maybe the 601.

thanks. :)

601 is definitely my favourite non-traveling shot.

The Hong Kong one is a little noisy but looks good printed. I like that one and Osaka probably the most of the pictures we got printed.
