emusonacid!

Yeah Drayon...Mission Control: "Rupture" by Notorious J...that tune still gives me goose bumps. '99 was a "Golden Year" for D&B...Nads

I'm 40, been using emulators for about 3 years, after using ensoniq's for about 10.

Im 28 and just got my brand new emu ultra 5000 at a music store here in montreal for $500 brand new in feb 2004. It was collecting dust at the music store so they put it on liquidation.

im making breakbeats

I'm 25! Got the Emu E4XT a few weeks back!

24, picked up my E4XT ultra earlier this year for practically nothing...I could gush about how much I love it, but everyone on here already knows...holy shit! love it!

Well I see some 40's but I think I get the prize for oldest poster, 48.
I do FX and sound for theatre and film. Used to use an EMAX for FX in the late 80's-early 90's. I had/ have a couple of AKAI's (S01 & S2800). They were fun but the file system sucked. Film FX is mostly Syncavier (now there's a portable rig ;~) ) or E4, so I used them but never plunked down the cash to own one. Then came eBay... Got an E4X for about $250 and put in a HD and had a great time. I was feeling like I would really like to upgrade the beast and then...eBay again came to the rescue. A E6400 that had been upgraded to a full E4XT Ultra, I think the 6400 on the front scared folks off and I got it for just over $400 and already had a buyer for my old one for $300 so the upgrade was just over $100. This baby is really nice and fast. And its platform independent!!! When I moved from OS 9 to OS X (Mac) my soft samplers went away. The one I was going to upgrade wanted $150, I though the EMU was a better deal! Then a month ago the soft sampler Co. went under so the EMU was a MUCH better deal.

Recently swapped the SCSI internal for a nice BIG (60 gig), quiet IDE drive. It just gets better! And one day away from 49.

i am 34 and have been using my e6400 ultra for 4 years now
it is a constant amazement to me this machine and gives me endless pleasure

I've been using my ESI-4000 (i know, not good for much) since 1998 and just got a mint, in-box 6400 ultra..

I've been producing since 1996 and i'm 25

I'm 41 and been using samplers for 20 years and had my EMU E-Synth Ultra for 3 years

100 and I have had my e64 since 1997.

28 been using an E6400 since 1999.

28 - just got my e4X two weeks ago. absolutely love it.

...37.... using EMU Sampler since early 90`, since 4-5 years a Platinum and E4XT, both with RFX Card.....daily use !

I'm 42. Used an ESI32 back in the mid 90s, bought a Yamaha A3000 when it came out, sold it recently (hadn't used it for years) and have just got an e6400 ultra... great machine! I wish I had had this right from the start (couldn't afford it then, of course)...
despite my age, I still like DnB (Paradox, Klute...) but quite a lot of other music, too...

33, been using an emu since 98. Currenly have an E4XT Ultra but have had at one time or another Emax, Emax II, E6400 and another E4XT. Started out strictly DnB but got out of it a couple years back, who knows what I'm working on now...

As far as DnB goes, Ed Rush and Optical to me are the kings, Bad Company (pre-shot down on safari anyway), the RAM crew, the old No U Turn and Renegade Hardware, almost all Metalheadz, Source Direct!
