1st one machine, 2nd mp

 

[Ozmosis]

Damn, I wish I would have logged in last night at home. Sound cloud is blocked at work.

Did you use any effects or both tracks a dry recording/export?

 

[thedreampolice]

There are no mixing tricks at all, both are very dry.

@Formant, can you also say why you think that one is Maschine?

 

[slik da relic]

the 2nd beat sounds like an MPC, not bcuz of the sample or anything, but bcuz MPC users tend to make tracks that cutoff immediately at the end of the sample... usually its bcuz of the limitation of the MPC... even though the Maschine can do this too im sure... but the 2nd beat sounds like the MP.

I agree with Slik, on this one.

In terms of SOUND, you can recreate the sound easily...but nuances like the sample cutting off is something that you have to look for.

 

[dacalion]

The only hint of a difference is the volumes...the first track has a tad more umph than the second (volume/quality wise), otherwise, there's no real way to tell an audible difference...too many other factors come into play. Not saying that these guys are right or wrong but you could have a slightly better recording on either. Not saying that you did but, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't use either and you made the entire beats in Reason/Recycle or they both were made on the same sampler.

 

[thedreampolice]

ha ha, Trust me. I did not use Reason on these.

It's is just a fun experiment.

chopshop vs no chopshop, its not in the sound, or at least it shouldnt be (else thats your mistake lol). Its how you trimmed the samples.

Also, the test is a little bogus...you shouldve used the exact same samples cut in the same way as much as possible.

 

[Formant024]

also, i didnt think he used mute groups on the mpc at all, its not how its behaving monophonicaly but maschine chopshops to zero-crossing and the mp doesnt.

I agree, this is just for fun

 

[slik da relic]

sooo... umm, er, ahh... when will we get the answer? im guessin ur gonna wait for a few more replies, and then next month, when this thread is buried somewhere in the archive section... we'll get the answer... lol

da relic

 

[thedreampolice]

I will answer tomorrow, but I will say this. I manually chopped all the samples in both tracks if means anything.

 

[thedreampolice]

Any other guesses before the big reveal?

 

[slik da relic]

after listening again just now... the 2nd one still sounds like the MP.

and why do we have a "poll"... and only 2 of us voted? yet there are at least 5 people in here... im just askin.. lol

da relic

 

[dacalion]

Ok, I voted as well.

 

[Greg Savage]

Am = Maschine
Jam = Mpc

 

[LouBez]

Wassup wit those fags in the gearslutz thread dp? Lol

 

[thedreampolice]

@Lou no doubt, I hate gearslutz sometimes. I am always looking for tricks to hone my craft, but gosh that place can be a circle jerk.

at any rate Early AM is MPC and Que 78 is Maschine.

Not that this proves anything, its just interesting. And as Formant said this is very unscientific.

I love them both, but I love Reason more

 

[LouBez]

I never post there because of the rampant elitism...
