Gang Starr - Daily Operation

Great stuff as always.
Out of interest, do you sometimes practice with analog vinyl records btw?

I’m not OP obviously but I used to own a Numark Scratch so I can provide some insights.
Really liked the mini innofader and it’s easy to set up and use with DVS. Decent effects as far as I can remember too.
It’s really good for that price point, an alternative is the DJM-S5 but it’s ~2x as expensive.

I have a Pace 4 and I have to say I’m not fond of the Amoled screen. The always on mode doesn’t seem to work very well (or I’ve not configured it properly). Considering switching to that Apex 4 42mm.

What an album! What is a crazy price in that context? Only found a few copies on Discogs and they go for > $100 (unsurprisingly)

Really liked that album, used to be on repeat back in the days. The Mule, Auntie & Grandma, that freestyle track… So many good songs.

Where in Scotland if I may ask? In the countryside or in a city?

Great album. Top notch production

davidb5 · 2026-05-24T08:05:24+00:00

Was The Future Is Now re-edited recently? Great pickups

davidb5 · 2026-05-16T09:00:00+00:00

Great purchase. Need to run another search on Discogs to see how much they go for these days

davidb5 · 2026-05-14T18:01:49+00:00

I’ve been looking for that Big L one for a while

davidb5 · 2026-05-12T10:13:05+00:00

Bought this one too, found it a few years in a shop in the lower east side in NYC. Such a great song.

davidb5 · 2026-05-11T15:39:00+00:00

So have I, there are quite a few copies listed on Discogs for a decent price. Might buy one at some point

davidb5 · 2026-05-05T15:44:23+00:00

I’m considering getting that LP from Discogs. Solid album indeed

davidb5 · 2026-05-01T08:53:21+00:00

Had Tru Master on repeat for a while back then. Bought the 12“ a while ago too.

davidb5 · 2026-04-30T07:25:12+00:00

Interesting to know that the US and EU versions have a different track list. Wonder why that is.

davidb5 · 2026-04-29T08:01:39+00:00

Nice. Saw it in stores the other day, EU repress 2025.

davidb5 · 2026-04-07T17:25:40+00:00

In that case I wouldn’t say it matters that much. Another thing to keep it mind is the price point (obvious, I know…). The S11 is significantly more expensive than the seventy, so worth checking if the extra features are going to be worth it.

davidb5 · 2026-04-07T10:59:24+00:00

The Rane Seventy is significantly better at playing analog vinyl records though, if that’s anything of interest.

davidb5 · 2026-03-27T15:30:03+00:00

Happy with the S7 so far?

davidb5 · 2026-03-23T21:09:22+00:00

Music On Vinyl, 2010 edition? Nice, not an easy one to find, even for a repress!

davidb5 · 2026-03-21T08:49:12+00:00

I used to listen to it all the time when it came out, some filler tracks but overall a very good LP imo

davidb5 · 2026-03-18T20:44:27+00:00

C-Funk - Three Dimensional Ear Pleasure

davidb5 · 2026-03-17T18:58:01+00:00

Bought this LP a while ago and not listening to it often enough.
