Since day 1 owning the AR I haven’t converted my samples to 48000 mono, just allowing the process to be done for me during the transfer using C6.
Does anyone know if there is any downside to doing this ?
Samples I create myself or edit I have been converting to mono, 48000 and normalizing. I did notice that they are loud as f—, but I find everything is loud on the Rytm. I no complaints here, however. I tend to not crank the volume on anything no matter what machine I use for risk of drowning all the frequencies because I usually have lots playing at once.
I’ve actually grown really fond of Audacity. The first time I set hands on it was back in the day in Ubuntu linux. I remember thinking “this program looks like dog poop” and I dislike using things that have a crap UI. Then I recently installed it at work for preparing samples and instruments for the OP-1 and it’s really grown on me. It does literally everything you need. I can sample chop using a BPM plugin and sample markers to snap to. I can use free VST’s for tuning, EQ, effects whatever. Plus the handy Z button for auto zero crossing your selections is so tight. Anyways … if you can get past the ugly UI - Audacity is the bomb.
