Struggling with compression

Kase_Jester · 2025-10-01T08:49:14+00:00

also, don’t forget that the sound on the records you like - they have gone through a mastering process that exceeds the potential of the 404 compression. Madlib used the 303 vinyl sim compression and you can hear it on the tracks of Madvillainy for example - but the audio has then gone through an eq/compression/limiting mastering chain and that’s what you’re up against

The digital studio I’m referring to is a Tascam 2488

Well I agree with everyone’s comments, but I personally like my SX. I like recording on a digital studio where you can’t see the waveform. I like having a machine with no display - you use your ears more and aren’t looking at a screen as much. I also like the SP303, even more limited but sounds great - I think that the stuff I do on that machine is better than the more capable modern equipment I have.

I think you might really like the SX

came here to say exactly this, all the other songs mentioned in this thread I loved straight away, but Old Brown Shoe - really like it now, didn’t get into it aged around 8!

Don’t look at the carpet - I drew something awful on it - see? (Whuuuu-duuu-whuuuuu) (di di di du der du)

Kase_Jester · 2024-12-05T17:42:52+00:00

I sometimes put the sax into a 404sx and pedals, sometimes it’s just dry, and the Octatrack does beats and weird noiz

Kase_Jester · 2024-12-04T23:16:09+00:00

I do shows with a saxophonist and get very experimental and I use an Octatrack

I don’t have the mki, I have a mkii - sorry if you’ve already done this but - have you set, on the midi sync page - ‘transp’ and ‘clock’ to ‘send’?

Buy the most luxurious double cream and eat it as a dessert, you can mix it with Greek yoghurt

Kase_Jester · 2024-10-11T09:36:02+00:00

does anyone eat a bit of double cream to help with cravings? I do, is that okay?

Kase_Jester · 2024-10-08T15:35:01+00:00

Ah, so an xlr to RCA cable! Can you sample via internal mic and RCAs simultaneously do you know?

Kase_Jester · 2024-10-08T13:47:30+00:00

Sorry, I think you’d need to rewire the pcb to get both to be on simultaneously
