1.07 / 2.10 sample level comparison list

I have to adjust the sample levels from my old beats to the 2.10 levels. To save myself a lot of time i made the next list.
Maybe it’s also useful for someone else.

The first number before the equal sign is the 1.07 sample level in the program. You have to change it to the second value to get the same volume with os 2.10

whoa, this is great man! I have really been looking for this!
How did you calculate all this btw? Great work bro!

good work, you're pretty goddamn awesome.

Good idea posting that. From looking at the values, looks like Akai changed the volume scale on the 1k from linear-to-logarithmic...or is it logarithmic-to-linear? I don't claim to be a higher-level math buff, but I'm pretty sure it's one of those.

The scale change definitely explains why people had track volume issues. I may see about incorporating a feature into a BlueBox update that can automatically adjust your volume levels accordingly based on your target OS. That way, the results are more predictable when you load up into the MPC. What do you think?

That would be great! That will definitely save a lot of time.

where do i have to go on the mpc to change this? I'm confused. thanks!

Thats hardcore man, really damn hardcore.

Respect.

is there a way to bring the default levels back down to 80 as it was in version 1.7? cause im finding it a lil harder to mix beats down with all the track levels starting at 100..also, the skip from level 99 to 100 is tremendous, is that a glitch?

Hey dubnov -

Check the last 2 columns closely...looks like you skipped/duplicated some numbers on the left side of the equals sign.

(ex: 76, 78, 79, 79...96, 98, 99, 99...)

damn, typing errors. I've corrected it. Thanks.

To solve that problem I made an AUTOLOAD and set everything up just how I wanted it so that the MPC starts up like that every time.


Nice work Dubnov... very helpful.

wasnt the original setting 70 in os 1.7? Im thinkin of making a autoload to make it as it was in 1.7

yeah it was 70, that's how i set up my autoload.

Don't you fear AKAI will adress this volume issue in the next update (which would make us have to change all our levels again)??

I'm not very familiar with the volume issue,since I've not been making music for a while, but is this a bug or a new "cool" feature?
