When I play a beat I made thru mixdown mode and make an audio file it sounds like the volume goes slightly down right when the beat drops. I'll attach an example. How do I stop this?

hi man
maybe post this on the MV section (also known as "other roland samplers"), someone could take a care of it better
cheers

just a stab in the dark here, but it may be that there's too much subbass when the beat comes

I actually meant to post it in the MV section but I accidentally posted it in the "other" section and didn't notice until now pretty much.

As for there being too much sub bass,that's possible but I don't think so. I wish I could show you how it sounded coming directly out of the MV. It sounded fine, it sounded the way I wanted it to.

Sounds like mixdown mode has a limiter/compressor that is trying to compensate and maybe dropping it a bit. Personally I never use that mode, I mixdown/master on PC for full flexibility.

I do notice that my beats sound slightly lower when I record a song. When I play the beat off the pads everything sounds loud, but when recorded to a track I notice the difference.

My workaround for that to record with Normalize on to keep it OG.

I don't know why the MV does this, my SPs record "as is". I guess Roland wants it to be a pro piece and make us work like engineers.

Thanks for the replies everyone. @ Ill Green how do you record with normalize on? Are you talking about setting normalize to each individual sound?
