SP-FORUMS

sry to bug folks.. i asked this on another topic but got no answer...does any1 find that there vinyl sim COMPLETELY reduces the drums on the beat...I can have a fully mixed track where the drums are hitting pretty hard and run this through on vinyl sim, knob 1 not even fully cranked, and the kicks ...

I find that when i record a whole beat from a daw into the 303, it loses a little something. Then when record back into ableton with vinyl sim on, it degrades the quality a good amount...mostly takes the punchy-ness out of the drums...kinda winds up having me upset with my finished product from time ...

Of course it all depends on each sample but..how much mastering do folks really put in once beat is bounced from SP - Ableton? Thanks

Make sure you aren't re-recording too hot as you bounce the audio back and forth.
Also, are you over compressing?

Good looks on response.... I typically do turn the drive nearly all the way up when I am compressing. This could have something to do with it.

I tend to keep my levels somewhat low ...

I come here asking 4 advice and appreciate anything any1 can offer--peace.

I have been using sp 303 for about a year now--Because I really wasnt getting with the 303s sequencer, I began to integrate it with and sequence into Abelton so I essentially use the 303 for chopping up and recording drums ...
