XLR8R

Summer’s here and to celebrate XLR8R’s hitting you with a super-hot contest. First up is the new Mackie d.4 Pro production console. Hardly your run-of-the-mill mixer, the d.4 Pro is tricked out with multi-channel/multi-track FireWire computer connectivity, studio-quality sound, vast routing flexibility, Onyx mic preamps, Traktor Scratch compatibility, and more. The d.4 Pro lets you plug in and spin your digital files, or record your sun-drenched sets and productions directly to your laptop. (We can only hope that you’ll throw forgotten summer jams like Paperboy’s “Ditty” and Skee-Lo’s “I Wish” into your mix.) And if that ain’t enough, we’re also throwing in Hercules and Love Affair’s self-titled album (Mute) and Subtle’s ExitingARM (Lex) to bump as your summer soundtrack.
