Two tech12s, cheap numark mixer, ABIT KT7A-raid based digital workstation with circa 1995 soundblaster awe32 stuffed with 32megs of sample ram allowing ZERO latency (zero....not low latency) live sound through soundfonts, cheap midi controller, cheap midi drum surface, a monophonic a/b stomp box connected to a digitech rp-8 to which a cheap kramer guitar with a floyd rose stuffed with a duncan distortion pickup........which was used to make crazy sounds mostly as a safety net. And a cheap cd player.

 

Soundfonts, when used old school in hardware has the response that no software synth. can ever match.

 

At my best, I could flip hard between Grace Jones' "slave to the rhythm" (princess and the frog mix) with James Brown's "super bad" without a trainwreck.

 

Nothing in the world sounds like a guitar connected to the house PA of a good sized club when you've got the bar pushed so far down the low e is vibrating at 16hz.

I pretty much only have the soundcards left of that setup and am looking for a newer motherboard that can fit them or a more modern card that uses PCI slots instead of the old ISA slot.

 

When that workstation died, it had the awe32 card and two terratec ews88d cards used through a Vm200 digital mixer using adat inputs and outputs.

 

Those old awe32s had a spdif digital output which was largely undocumented.........but sweet for avoiding any analog passes when mixing and recording either the onboard emu8000 synth. or using same to play samples.

 

I haven't checked but technology surely has passed my by in the DJ industry but it seems latency is still an issue for many types of equipment.
