lol, don't get all defensive! all it is is how you resample in the 1000/2500, is it different in the xl?

Not defensive, u know me better than that. I don't know the menus so I can't speak on it, next time I'll put a "LOL" at the back so you know I'm not serious. This aint that serious.

Resample is to actually rearrange the sample rate?

Nope, no bounce down like that in the xl.

The XL defines "resampling" as changing the sample rate, even the ASR defines it as that, hence why I have thought in that same way for years now.

yeah, i always wondered that. i guess it's technically more accurate to use in the xl's case, but it also works for the 1k. what would you call bouncing down then?

imo

Bouncing down is just what it is, bouncing down.

When you take a number of tracks, re-record/convert/mix them it into one collective track in order to free up track space, effects or busses.


I always stick to the technical terms instead of made up stuff, I hear alot of talk about "resampling" w/ the 1k/2500 among younger dudes when, in my head, it's not the correct term to use. The function they are reffering to is a bounce down, just like you said.

Not trying to be right homie, just trying to be universal with the tech speak and terms so that everyone is on the same page and we can understand each other better and move ahead instead of confusing one another ya know.

I've been doing the spidf thing for a long time before I got my digi001 cause I only had a soundblaster audigy platinum but it also had optical/coaxial spdif so I used that w/ triton extreme cause it was straight digital, no matter if sb is cheap, it was still a digitial signal and sounded great just like any other digital signal.

I setup midi sync to line up the tracks, every recording pass, no metronome needed.

Hrmm, I've always called it resampling because when you go into the sampler on the 1k it gives you a new sample. I don't know if bouncing down is the appropriate term, because isn't that traditionally used for track recorders?

how about we call it.....copy of a copy.... :lol: :lol:

http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/glossary.html defines resampling as:

Resample - To recalculate Sample in a sound file at a different Sample Rate than the file was originally recorded. If a sample is resampled at a lower rate, sample values are removed from the sound file, decreasing its size, but also decreasing its available frequency range and possibly introducing Aliasing. Resampling to a higher sample rate, often interpolates extra sample values into the sound file. This increases the size of the sound file but may not increase the quality (depends on the algorithm used).

However, Akai - in the MPC1000 specifications - claims a feature as:

"- Can resample its own output"

http://www.akaipro.com/prodMPC1000.php

So according to Akai we are correct in calling it "resampling" but according to a more traditional sound vocabulary we may be incorrect

mpc is also track machine.

By Lampdog Sat Oct 06, 2007 8:37 pm
Akai changed/twisted the traditional meaning for their own diabolical evil purposes, lmao.

The mpc serves as a track recorder also, not in the traditional sense of a time-based daw track machine but "tracks" based in RAM/memory nonetheless.

Whatever people call it, Akai calls it, It's a feature that I hope people will use to their greatest benefit and use well ya know.

If I recall from when I had my ASR-10 though, they also used "resampling" to refer to re-recording the sample to another wavesample with the effects and whatever other settings applied to it.

I could be wrong about that though, cause you say that's not the case and I was far from being an expert on the ASR.
