which record settings do you use and why ?

[LesPasta]

i tend to stick with hifi and lofi 1

recording takes with both settings and comparing the samples later

[ritchrd]

in the words of the 202 god dongoldman
breaks on hifi and samples on standard

[LesPasta]

this changes my perspective.. don goldman is very ill

when I sample with the 202 i bounce the audio back to the 404.. i like recording a hard snare drum with lofi 1 and then cleaning it up a little with the 404 eq and maybe compressor

kick drum is a little different, lofi setting doesn't always work--for me at least--but sounds nice with a deep 808

All in lofi 1 for me... sometimes in standard.

I should try more combinaisons...

[PlebMan]

i use the dongoldman method.......

i use the dongoldman method.......

I'll try

[z_x_c_V]

snare on standard
everything else on lofi1
and always make sure it's clipping hard

I like all my shit on lo1, but every once in a while drums will be standard.

I'm not a beatmaster, but currently I sample drums in hi-fi, and everything else in standard / lo-fi.

The reason is I like to have crystal clear kick / snare / hi-hats (bass) to go under some grittier samples.

However I am considering using Lo-Fi 2, with good samples the results could be sweet.
