Kick drum clipping during low end/sub basslines.

Firstly I would just like to make it clear that I am a total noob to electronic music production, having only purchased my OP-1 in May… so apologies if this is a dumb question! I searched through the other help categories just to ensure I wasn’t duplicating any other queries with this one;

I seem to experience clipping when the kick drum sounds during powerful, bass heavy/low end synth/samples. It’s less noticeable when the drive is turned down, but still present. It’s only a minor irritation as I am having way too much fun with this awesome machine, just curious to see if anyone has had any similar experiences. Thanks - Tom :slight_smile:


Is this during recording ? -> on the Tape page, turn down the red knob

But you may try first to lower a bit the volume of the sampled kick (shift+red knob when you see the kick waveform)
Also check the drums envelope and make sure it’s not above the zero level.

Thanks for the reply, it hadn’t occurred to me to check the sample volume. I’ll have a look at that when I finish work! Cheers

I’d say LD is on the money with that answer! I would’ve replied but i couldn’t have worded it any better myself!
