ZoeB Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi! I'm A/B testing an old school vs. new school mastering setup. Which version of this track do you prefer? Version "CCA9":https://soundcloud.com/zoeblade/solderside-cca9 Version "CE0F": https://soundcloud.com/zoeblade/solderside-ce0f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think I prefer the first one - Bit more physicality to the sound, the second didn't have as much brightness in the mix in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi! CCA9 for me (without the hiss, maybe). CE0F seemed more in-your-face, too much for my liking after hearing the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeB Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Interesting, thank you all very much!How about between just these two?Version "0e42": https://soundcloud.com/zoeblade/solderside-0e42 Version "63db": https://soundcloud.com/zoeblade/solderside-63db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmower Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 0e42 sounds sort of more detailed but also harsher. And during the outro it sounds almost like it's trying to normalize after the beat stops, just like CE0F above. So I think I prefer 63db, the only thing better about the other one is that it simply sounds louder (which is a serious confounding variable, I think levels should be matched better for proper testing).

mcbpete Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 0e42 for me this time, as manmower mentioned there seems a lot more details in the sounds. It emphasises the nice analogue imperfections of the pulse/saw (is that then classed as PWM ?) plodding basseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
