4.70

Its up!

veryyyy nice ! grittiness i can feel.

um BUT
ALL changes every sounds in memory
shouldnt the ALL work by Program or sumthin..
nobody wants the whole track sounding grungy....though there are ways around .

i know i know..were never satisfied..

but right now i am completely happy because of my little metal box!

Nice! cant wait to hear the grittiness! UGh!!!

I was just playing with it. I noticed if you change the bit rate it does not effect sound..or if it does..it's not very noticeable.

Changing the sample rate does effect sound though. It does sound more lo-fi. I'll give it that.

i also played around and you could try doing like 7 bits around 11050hz for a snare and then edit the decay point or put note on..

you get a nice snare with a bag of mud over it..

i messed a little with kicks but that only resulted in some strange techno sound.. so it's better to just use a LPF on that one i guess

freakin luvs it mayn! try this: conv sample to 8bit 11050.. then set its filter to LPF2 resonance up 84 ..and the filter a little low to get that muddy olskool sound

not the phat feature you all waiting for?!

i give my nu nintendo ds and nitrotracker a try

i ve just tried that feature and i recommend you not to throw away your s950 lol !

I played around with it a tad bit this morning. I can definately use it. The processing time was quick for the sounds I ran thur it. To me it just depends on how much time you're illing to put into developing the sound.

oh nice, so you can actually change it not only to 2 values like 12 bit and 8 bit? that's cool[/quote]

yes you can go from 12 to 8 to 7 to 6 to 5 to 4

ain't that precise?

grrrrrr i'm dying to hear how this sounds
i wont get to til after i'm done at the restaraunt tonight serving gross food

someone said some of the effects are quite subtle
--yeah, they're going to be at the high levels.

what i suggest we do is create a "pallate"
and by this i mean i would like to upload a series of samples of different types as "reference points"

ie showing the effects of different bit reduction on certain frequency instruments. this way people can listen and get a "readout" so there's less guesswork involved. granted it wouldn't take long to just keep going via trial and error til you get a good sound but you know. this way it'd give a good demonstration.

i think i'll do it on a mid-high frequency string note (1 sampled note from reason)
a bass note (having just a little bit of bit reduction on basslines sounds soooo heartbreakingly good, ie pre-2500 jel and old buck65
a snare and a clap
and a cym

this runs a good bulk of the frequency spectrum. i've been using bit reduction plugins for years now because i'm absolutely in love with the sound of bit reduction, so i really couldn't be happier here. one of the best features i think he has added. really incredible.

another tip i mentioned before -

1 - load sample
2 - bit reduce sample so you can hear the difference
3 - pitch down the sample and listen to it.

step 2 -

1 - load SAME sample from original source
2 - pitch down sample the same amount as you did the first
3 - bit reduce it the same way

listen to the difference here. pretty cool, huh?

uuu mama, here we come tech-ruffness <3

another tip - few things sound better than a bit reduced clap placed on every other snare, shifted either before or after the snare

bit reduce it so it sounds fried, but not yet muddy. i love bit reduction because it seems to push part of the frequency up so so so high so you can hear it through everything.

hey can someone do me a big favor and do the following? it'll only take 2 seconds. i'm away from my mpc and can't load the os to see for myself

1 - boot up
2 - load 4.70
3 - enter GPE (mode pad 11)
4 - scroll to A01
5 - hit MODE to enter velocity range screen
6 - take a screenshot
7 - either post it online here or email it to me at ascaife (aat) gmu.edu
