thanks Antee. yeah, i use a 404. i don't use any software or plugins, just throw vinyl sim on all pads and keep knob 1 at 12 o clock. then i sample it to my mpc and normalize the wav. then straight from cf card to laptop.

wow that's incredible... i listen your beat with my AKG K240 MK2, a really good headphone and it sounds really cool... i don't know why when i try to do what you do my beats don't sound powerfull in volume like this... it's possible that the reason is my soundcard don't have a pre amp?

i'm no expert at anything but i'd say no. but if it's more volume you need, i always keep my sp at +9db, i think it's gives me more audio and less background noise too.

yeah, but if i rec with the sp at 9db the track distort, it's over the 0 db

+ 9 is pure distortion

maybe -9? or maybe thats a relative setting like you boosted it 9 db which would make sense

furthermore where are the entries? jaylost, madmantis, wax, and the rest of yall where you at? i guess the break fucked some people over eh? i didnt think making a bass-less kick would be that hard

I tried to do something with it when you first put the sample up and couldn't come up with shit. I might try to give it another go tonight.

Kel, you killed it man...shit is ill! But did you just say you used the MPC for something? I thought this was SP only battles? Maybe I misunderstood your post.

i used the mpc just to record the performance coming out of the 404. just hit record and started playing. it's pretty much the only way i can do it cuz my computer's dead and my girlfriend won't let me download any programs onto her laptop. i did normalize the recorded wav in the mpc on its way out just cuz my levels were a bit low, but no fx, eq, comps or anything like that. that's interesting about the +9 db setting. i always feel like it keeps the signal loud and noise low.

yeah whatever man...you're disqualified.

jk

My girlfriend is the same way about her precious macbook.

...well I got nothing submit... Kel truely killed me with his str8 outta contra shit... (btw. that name is so funny mang) The kick wasn't the biggest problem for me... I just couldn't flip the sample into sth. waxplosive.
