OT - sound quality

Listening to DiH, even within the first 30 seconds they’ve got brainbombs beat imo. Seeing them live was always the highlight of a weekend.

brainbombs isnt supposed to be a good band tho, theyre shit amd they embrace it. cant really compare them to anyone, especially a band who try to be good play good shows. lots of noise rock bands are better bands probably but brainbombs would be worse if they were better in any conventional way

Haha yeah I know, I actually like brainbombs a lot too, they just always get compared.

Hey can you piss off with your band talk to another thread please. I’m sure the mods have this one on mute so they won’t help.

Yeah, man.

My Octatrack sounds shit enough without all this crosstalk.

I’m no professional musician, but my equipment is rather expensive.
I can’t hear any difference between the original sound and whatever I record on the octatrack.
I just record at the highest reasonable level and then I have to adjust (meaning: lower) the volume anyhow to fit it in the mix.
But maybe my non pro ears just can’t hear it :blush:

Exactly @SKull
And I doubt any pro’s would use an OT to produce music with. It’s all DAW .

#953

why not?

#954

I’m saying like big Pro recording studios.

#955

All those big pro techno stars? Lol

#956

I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.

But… they do, it’s used as an instrument not for mastering.

When i was a kid i went to a Rolling Stones concert with my dad and the next day i could go to school late so i missed the swimming class which i hated. Was a bit boring but huge stadium and a lot of lights.

Btw for me the sound quality of the Octatrack is around 85% And everything above 70% is cool with me. Yes, i did several different audio tests to form my opinion.

Edit:
I just found out that i had time stretch on for all the tests. Ok, so now the Octatrack is around 90%.

Oh, and i wasn’t recording at 24khz.

And damn, the filter was on.

Ok, i think the sound quality of the OT is at 94% now.
