If you notice a clear difference between the two players then there has to be an equalizer or enhancer turned on in at least one of them. These features might be useful when you have crap speakers and only listen to music but as producers we need to hear the music exactly as it is. Not just your own music but that of others as well or you'll have no reference. In iTunes turn off the equalizer and also switch off Sound Enhancer and Sound Check. It will then playback the music as it is. Winamp has similar features so these should be turned off too if you want to properly judge the music.

I think there is something going on with iTunes. I did some tests with iTunes vs Quicktime and they sound different despite all audio enhancements switched off.

Not sure if it's fixed in the latest patch, but iTunes was definitely adding something to the sound.

No you didn't. You have not divulged anywhere in this thread, what OS you use and what soundcard you have.

So post it and I'll be able to help you get more out of your system and not have to ever bother with these "fucked up ways of producing".

In fact you probably won't have to export to another program just to listen to your track.

So post that info already so we can pinpoint the problem. Otherwise, I'm thinking you're Robby's Alt.

Please don't take this personally, but you are a fucking moron!

What Synths/Plugs do you use most? -- Atmosphere and Omnisphere for pads, Sylenth for leads/bass and Nexus, z3ta+ and Predator for other random stuff

Nope, it was real. I just read Apple fixed it though. Others also had this issue with iTunes after a cetain update

In particular people with RME and Digidesign audio interfaces had the issue apparently. I'll have to do testing again to see if it's really gone now. ( i tested it last year )

That is so fucking crap - I used Chrome's search for those terms and it didn't fucking find any of it.

My bad. Thanks for pointing it out, I now know the problem....


......and yes, this is a full on, raging Robby Rox thread now.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM:

(if you don't remember, we went through this EXACT situation with Robby not 2 months ago).

Those "soundcards" (they shouldn't even be called that as they are absolute turd), do nothing more than act like nice tight bottleneck in your computer's processing of audio.

Thats combined with the fact that I highly doubt you have optimized XP
for music, and that you are using multiple instances of inserts (linking inserts does nothing for efficiencey), rather than sends means you're probably getting about 40% less out of your PC than you should be.

Buy stable, well performing soundcard (can even be cheap) and that will give you the biggest increase instantly.

Then optimize XP for music (I'll post them again if needed) and start using sends.

Honestly, I don't know why it's easier to get blood out of a rock than have people figure out that using a $3 soundcard *might* be the problem.

A $3 soundcard? Where? The cheapest one I've found is a SoundBlaster at Staples for $15.00. If I could get a cheaper soundcard that'd be great!

Originally posted by ken_lee just to continue the fun. how many instanced of zeta do you use for your baselines? if ca 16 then this could be your problem. im not sure though, ask robby how he feels about it, he should have some experience in this area... lol.

You really sound like your drinking is getting out of control bro.
Unless you were already this dumb prior to that.

I used 16 z3tas merely for the purpose of testing my new system, not for making a bassline.
There was a thread a few months before that where I said I can *sometimes use between 4-6 synths on a bass (sometimes 8 but I also said they're all not even bass sounds, just sounds that play with the bass such as drones or what have you). I started fucking around like that mainly after watching the tyas video where he had 6 layers and was trying to get a "new" or "huge" sound.
I since found you need a fuckload of experience to layer cleanly and went back to using mainly 2-3 for my mid, 1-2 for my sub.

And what I'll do for you since I'm a nice guy is copy this into word encause once again you are drunk reading this and likely to forget it by tommorow. Then I'll just c&p as often as neccessary till one day I actually catch you sober.

little hypocritical for an (ex?) meth head con to be the barometer concerning who is a retard and who is imbibing too much alcohol.

Btw, since you disappeared when I brought to light your mug shot and criminal history, I was always curious concerning your 2 year stint as a young white boy in a county jail. As a proponent of rape, I am wondering how many times did your get your pretty little snowflake ass cuddled by a nice rough buff homey ?

You are quite possibly one of the biggest losers I've ever met in my life.
I never "dissappeared" from anything. I left the thread when I was done with making DJ Ranns cry and figured after like day 2 that M4B definitely wouldn't be coming back.

But I see now how you work. When someone offends you, rather than come right back and address them (which you could of as you were logged in) ... you wait x however many days till my name dissappears, then have an arguement with yourself and do a background search like the lonley pretentious slob you are.

Also, never once did I mention anything about being a "proponent" of rape. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've seen you come into a thread at least a thousand times yourself and joke about it (in some sadistic attempt for attention), and now you have the audacity to call ME a "proponent" ? Are you really that fake? And that devoid of any class? I'm not the one who gets 40 page threads made about me just for the purpose of getting removed from the forum. I also don't get drunk and go on pretentious tirades about how Im better than the rest of the world than storm off the forums and come back x months later under a different name.

What did you say again about my criminal history? That you basically just quoted evidence for something I already talked about myself? No I'm sure you threw in some white trash insults and will gladly go bump that thread so you can you feel like I care about your opinion.


edit: Cool looks like w/e you did it was enough to get that thread deleted. Can't assume it was anything more than typical M4B trash talk "I'm rich, I'm a genius, you're all dumb and I am your god, worship me".
Instead of talking about that thread, how bout we talk about the many threads brad has made where he often brings up topics that not only sound fake but utterly retarded if they weren't fake. Like your love of turning down nice sums of cash because your pussy wipped. I can believe you are pussy wipped, I and some other rational people however do not believe for a second that money was ever even offered to you.

Instead of sitting here and talking about it, how about you submit some proof that someone actually made that offer? Email? Papers? Fax? I don't buy it. I don't think a single person actually did, and noting that you have a reputation for exagerating shit and flat out lying (which is quite sad), you are in no position to really speak on the account of anything important on this forum. You should have been called out just for making that thread so you could go run away again like a pansy, but I don't even think people care that much anymore. M4B is just the same tired, repeated story of what good can come out of never beating your children.

I kind of assumed it was the sound card. The whole flipping shit over it was a tad unnecessary but thanks for pointing out the bottleneck.

Take it easy. All of you. Fucking hell
