SP-FORUMS

Damn, how slow can time move when dope sounds are sitting on your computer at work and not on your box! I'd like to get home now please.

Hey! I sent my beat to some friends and they said that it's not loud enough.
I used only phones to hear it and it sounded ok, so do you think is not lout enough?

It could be a little louder, but I thought it was fine on the levels. How did you record it?

Euclid: I connected the rca outs from the SP404 in the mic in of an old laptop and used Audacity as a recorder to capture the sound and covert to mp3.
I have a good soundcard in my desktop pc, but the pc died last week.

ahh i dont even have my 404, its been at a friends house since thursday

CamiloM, just turn up your SP while it's hooked into your computer until the input monitor level peaks a little and then back down the SP level by small increments until it's the input level isn't peaking and you should be good.

This is the way I did, but I think the kick is louder than the other samples so if I raise the level the monitor starts to peak. Maybe I will low the level of the kick and record the track again.
Thanks for the advice.

I hear you man, it can be tricky doing all the mixing in one little sampler that only has a 1-track sequencer.

what are the exact rules???
where can i find them?

thanks

the rules are under a sticky called "the rules" - which are here:

viewtopic.php?t=764

it's basically: this sample only, sp-XXX sampler only (like, don't chop on a pc then import, etc), battles are for learning, not winning.

record out to something, and then upload it. but read thru the sticky and stay on target fatleader.

I record my track again with different level. I think I lost a little bit of the kick but the track is more equal now.

Thanks! I'm new to the SP, it's good to hear you comments so I can improve on it.
