Just listened to what you've posted, and can already tell you're recording in way too hot. What you're effectively doing is turning the kick drum into a square wave, which is why it is sounding metallic. It might sound fine playing it this way *through* the S950 with the gear on the other end without sampling it... but the S950 is digitally distorting because you've got too much heat. Turn the REC knob down, and get it to *kiss* the peak, not blast past it.
With your settings and the sample not peaking HOT... it sounds exactly as I'd expect. And just for kicks, I pressed the record knob to max and it sounds just like your recording. has nothing to do with pitching it down, envelopes, or anything else... just too hot and creating a ton of digital distortion.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t think it’s distortion because of the input level. I really feel like this is something else.
I tested recording at much lower levels, like less half way up the bar and it gives me the same sound, just quieter.
Did you use the envelope when you did it? I really want to make this clear; it sounds perfectly fine until I engage the AMP ENV. Once I try to slow the attack, it gives me that ‘thrrrrrp’ sound (distortion maybe isn’t the right word, it sounds kinda like buzzing phone interference).
I’m just dying to know if it’s just my device that does this, or if it’s expected behaviour.
The fact that I have another device that does the same thing leads me to believe this might just be a limitation of these early digital envelopes when it comes to really low frequencies.
I can always put a steep LP filter on it and I still get those sexy dynamics. It would just be cool to know if I can avoid doing that.Statistics: Posted by Hanniball99 — Mon Mar 11, 2024 10:58 pm
