resampling in jjos2xl is quieter (help please)

anyone know why im getting a quieter re-sample than the original source?

i solo my track, go to record mode, set it to main out, my threshold stays at -48db, and after i record my sample, its quieter than it was in the source.

any tips on how to prevent this? i want an exact copy of how a sample sounds on a pad.

btw im resampling a kick drum, not a whole sequence, but i assume this would be the same if i was trying the whole sequence.

i turned the program setting up to 100, the volume is up, efx are off, maybe ill try that mode: other, master level up.

ill report back soon.

The master level must be at 0 to get approximately the same level.

yeah, i switched it to 0 and it worked fine.

do you guys leave yours at 0 all the time?

mine has always been at -6 i think.

do you find that you get better signal to noise ratio when tracking out if the master is set at 0?

this.

i always re-sample at -48 then normalize and its back to original.

Soemthing ive kinda always wondered about though.

what about the master volume output on your 1k, whats it usually set at?

Compared to -6, yes. When set to 0 db the S:N stays the same as the source.

I've found that a good rule of thumb is: 0 db for a 1:1 re-sample copy.

-6 db will leave a good amount of headroom if you intend to transfer the track over to a daw for mixing and mastering and won't skew the S:N too much.

Normalization could result in a bad signal to noise ratio.

aha........when recording main outs i crank it to full. same as gain. realise now its why i could never see my level coming in cos it was actually really quiet.

So you guys ( say im always going to be bouncing into a DAW) leave your mpc at -6?

then just adjust main volume for comfort?

The main volume knob has an influence on the ST out and the headphones out.

Regarding DAW track&sync that's something you have to take into account if you're using the individual outs and the ST outs at the same time.

cool, yeah i think they're saying -6 for tracking to a DAW, and the volume knob doesnt matter when recording the main out.

thanks for the info guys.
