Thx, I appreciate hearing that!

I came late to this game, did not start w/ vinyl, but with CDs. I would be the first to say that vinyl mixing requires a special skill set and clearly takes practice and talent to master ... but that boat had already sailed when I got interested, and I bought a CD mixing deck (Tascam) instead.

Quickly found the limitations inherent in that kind of set-up especially for the sorts of transitions that I personally enjoy creating ... and so I was very interested in making the move to digital when someone introduced me to MixMeister. Like Tepmix, who posted above, I think I started with their version 3 and have really been delighted with the improvements over the years although, like anyone who depends on software, I can think of a million more things that could be added or improved and I hate that Numark has so thoroughly dropped the ball in that regard.

It's funny, when I used to hang with the art crowd, the purists there all talked down photography -- as though there could not be art except art that involved brushes and colors on canvas. Just as literature purists complain everytime a novel is adapted for film. I think we'll never hear the end of it in this regard ... fortunately, it doesn't keep us from doing our work and creating our sessions, and it doesn't prevent the listeners from liking what they hear. And just for the record, in over 10 years, I've never had a listener express any interest at all in what my source material was -- analog or digital, no one ever mentions it. They only talk about whether or not they like the end result.

Thanks again for your kind comment on the set -- much appreciated!
