[audio removed]
This song is very hard to "nail" even on a fast preset… but a preset with a really slow multiband (slower than the AGC) like Motor City? 😈
Finally had a good chance to listen the the samples and I must say I like! It has a very consistent, listenable non fatiguing sound. I notice, compared to Plutonium that this preset eliminates any tape hiss from the older recordings also.
I know this preset is obviously genre specific, but out of interest, what does it sound like with more, electronic, dance sounds? 🙂

… or Country?
It sounds pretty good with many genres. It was indeed designed to remove noise very well. First preset that really fine tunes the downward expander. I actually even found a zipper-noise in the low frequency bands that I don’t think Leif has discovered yet, and I keep forgetting to tell him about. I found a way around it, but yeah… I’m using the full 24dB of reduction at max, so it had to be very finely tuned or it would have sounded jumpy etc. There are times where it might sound slightly jumpy in fact. But overall 99% of the time it’ll be way better than not.
I’m also really loving the new Zenith. More transparent, more range, just… love it.

Bassdrive live webcast from WMC is over, thanks if you tuned in and enjoyed Motor City.
[/edit]Hey Jesse,
Sounds perfect for our station! When do we get to test out this gem of a preset? Before NAB I hope… lol.
Awesome work as always!
rendered this tune earlier for a friend who said it pumps like the dickens on the Omnia 6.
not sure why Motor City didn’t end up in Breakaway Live, probably was just a mistake, but it should be in the next version of Live. Celeste also wasn’t in Live, not sure why there… if it’s been ported from the FM version or not.
I’ve downloaded the latest live version and used Motor City, but with several tracks the bass sounds fluffy (like a poor woofer).
For example the track Inna Ft. Bob Taylor – Deja Vu, when played in Plutonium or New York it sounds good…
Anyone else who noticed this ?[quote author=”Otto”]I’ve downloaded the latest live version and used Motor City, but with several tracks the bass sounds fluffy (like a poor woofer).

Anyone else who noticed this ?[/quote]I’m listening to this song right now from FLAC, and I don’t notice anything myself. Personally to me, it sounds like New York and Plutonium are a bit more dense, where Motor City has a lot more punch on the lows, and doesn’t ride them anywhere near as hard as New York especially.
Do you have default settings for Motor City in the main window? Do you have enough EQ headroom so the EQ & Loudness doesn’t show any limiting in the settings window? Are you doing any bass clipping in the speaker controller? Are you running in phase-linear mode, or something else?
With default settings, none of those three sound like anything is broken to me, so if all of your settings are ok then maybe it’s your audio system & monitoring? To me – the bass on Motor City sounds the most clear of the three because it has the most impact, especially on band 1.
I use default settings, phase lineair, no extra drive.
But I found out what the problem was…
A crappy soundblaster card. 😳A friend of mine upgraded to a Marian Trace and gave me his old Esi Julia.
Man! … what a difference! and indeed the low end is clear and punchy now….What a crappy soundcard can do… (or not do)…
Greetzz,
OttoWhoa.. I’ve never heard a sound blaster card do that, not even the old ISA SB16’s which I used in my very first multiband processor back in 1997. Are you sure it wasn’t broken?

I don’t know what the exact problem was with the soundblaster I guess something is broken.
I reinstalled the drivers but that didn’t solve the problem.
But I can hear the difference with the Esi Julia, the weird distortion on the bass is gone now..
