Re: [elektron] Re: Machinedrum bottom end lacking...

2006-05-10 by Patrik Rydberg

Yes, well, what's annoying me isn't that my bass drum sounds bad in a 
mix. What's annoying me is that the same sample of a kick, played 
straight from cubase (with no effects of course) sounds different than 
if i send it to the machinedrum using the C6 utility, and then play it 
from there.

Feel free to compare the two:

www.cutpaste.org/temp/mdtest/Sample.wav
www.cutpaste.org/temp/mdtest/MD.wav

(also, if opened in a wave editor, you can clearly see the difference)

This is a bit strange, I think...
