Re: [elektron] Noisy Samples, What to Do, What to Do...

Id concure, that Audacity would be the way to go.  Lowering the volumn
shouldnt have any effect.  the MD is probably just has either a cheap
algorithm for cutting down to 12 bit, or it just uses bit truncation
to do so which will sound messy.
