SP-FORUMS

there's a few things going on in that track that are contributing to warmth. first off, like you noticed, its compressed. that will always help. also the dirty percussion could be described as warm. there is a definite tape hiss and/or vinyl crackle sound--that analog noise will give a warm feel ...

Well I appreciate the words of wisdom man. Guess I just gotta keep experimenting with different things until I'm satisfied

Thanks for the reply Andy. I've tried some of the techniques you mentioned already, but yeah after giving your soundcloud a listen your stuff is definitely "warm".

What's up guys, recently I've stumbled across some beats that have all had this certain "sound characteristic" to them... The best way I can describe it is similar to using the vinyl compressor but even better. It sounds very warm and organic. But anyways, I've tried messing around with my 404 and ...

Respect. Some people dig that sound while others don't. I have no idea how to use the sequencer. Just resampled

Cooked this one up in about 15 minutes or so. Hope you guys like it.

I will definitely mess around with this, thanks for the tip!

Would really like to experiment with it. Only problem is I don't have a mic yet.

You know the sound I'm talking about... I've come across a number of tracks that all have this "crunchy" sound that runs through the mix almost like it's used as percussion. Almost sounds as if they're rustling a piece of paper through the mic. Anybody have a clue how I could achieve a similar ...

That's the thing my man, I have it all set up the exact way that you said, but for some reason I just don't get any sound when trying to use the scarlet 3/4 outputs. But after adjusting a few knobs I managed to make the headphone output quality better, so I'm satisfied now!

Guess that is a wrap my ...

It works if I plug the cable into the headphone jack (like you mentioned) but I'm trying to make it work by using the outputs because of the sound quality.

Yeah I want to grab the audio coming from the scarlet outs. I have the stereo cable going into channel 3, and I also set the 404's channel to 3 by holding down pad #3 during power up. But when I select "Send audio out to: ext. channel 3" in ableton, I'm not hearing any sound come out of my 404. And ...

Yeah I'm trying to sample straight from ableton. I've got a cable going from the ins of my sp which then goes into output channels 3/4 on my audio interface.

Using this cable http://www.hosatech.com/dimg/768d508613326812126e08aa528c6269.jpg

And I've selected "Master out: 3/4" in ableton, so ...

Now if only I could get audio into my 404 from ableton

Since the default input channels on the 6i6 are 3 and 4 I had to go into the Ableton settings and change the input from channels 1/2 to 3/4. Finally works!
