3000/60 owners i need your help (ren vintage mode shootout)

hey fellas,

would anyone who owns a 3000 and 60 be so kind to sample the following audio file and save it as a new wav file? i am working on a ren vs jjosxl vs real 3000/60 blind test.

use sendspace or what have you to upload the new files (with proper labelling) and send me the download links via pm.

thanks in advance!

Hey,

https://rapidshare.com/files/1201985949/Reg-MPC3000.wav

Here it is, sampled in the MPC 3000, with the gain on low.
My Mixer and Interface is a Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire.
Sampled via the analogue In's in the MPC. Sampled back via analogue Out's into Cubase with 96 khz sample rate , normalized and saved as a wave in 96 khz and 32 bit (float).

Hope this helps

Greetings,

Merlin

EDIT: I don't know why, but on my MPC 3000 it sounds a lot better than resampled into my computer... Has a lot more low- and midrange boost to it

Here is the MPC60 version:

I sampled it mono into the 60 the with gain on mid and back out into the computer via mackie mixer > Apogee Duet firewire. The sample was then normalized in Audacity with a sample rate of 44100hz (16 bit)

It is not an accurate test because when you resample it back into the computer something is lost, which you said yourself, the mpc version has more low and mid range boost and sounds better.

That's why many people run and further process their beats through some kind of preamp or board before it goes into the DAW, so they can regain some of what they will inevitably lose once it's in the computer.

Basically adding an extra step into the signal chain between the MP's outs and the DAW's ins.

elias and rebel_lion, thank you very much!

will start the poll tomorrow.

It's not an accurate test because everyone creating the files are using different soundcards, different software,different sample rates, different bit depths,different cables and some people are recording through mixers.
Even if everyone used the same MPC they would get different results with all those differences in recording chain.

Link to the OP's poll, FWIW.
