for the nosie snares play with the table so that the start of the sound uses the shorter matalic noise loop and then have it quickly jump to the more static sound. you can get some interesting results from that.

I think the model 3 has a stereo mod that can be done. It actually does sound fantastic in general too. Not sure why it doesn't get the love it deserves.

The revisions really are a bitch. I would be willing to run the test myself if people were down to send me units to barrow. I have 2 model 2s that were given to me and access to one other hi deff model ones. 

Weeeeee can doooo it if we pool our resources.

this is the way to do it. when i start a track i always set the global volume all the way up and mix my instruments sounds low. mixing as you write in piggy is really vital as the clipping can be brutal.

another trick is to choose what sound is going to be the main interest for your songs and build your mix around that. since i do house type stuff it usually ends up being the kick drum. i set the volume full for that guy and build my mix around it to make sure it is clearly heard through out the song. this also helps to keep mix consistency from song to song for me as the main element stays the same volume from song to song.

to summarize/simplify and add on...best mixing tips i have found are:

1) choose main elements of the songs and set at a high volume in mix with global volume up.
2) build your mix around those sounds making sure to make room in your instruments for these to remain in the front of the mix as you add things.
3) adjust volumes of all instruments as things get added but always keep the main sounds at the same volume.
4) when writing in different song files make sure your main sounds are always consistently the same volume.
5) when creating samples make sure to have a consistent db peak. It just makes things easier. it is better have a loud volume and just turn it down then it is to have a low volume and not be able to turn it up.

nah that guy, while the most complete available, still is missing model 3 and different sound mods available.

The genesis really needs a good sound comparison page. the current ones are kinda meehh and very incomplete. would love to see this in full swing.

I personally am cool with my MD2 (unmodded). While distorted in the output circuit, it does an ok job. I find that when I write for the machine, I auto adjust when doing my sound design so that it sounds good for the model. The only time it bothers me is if I use the same patches on another model.

That CCM does look good though.

The MD2 version of the sound chip technically has the cleaner sound but a terrible amp system if i recall. The original chip was revised to get rid of that ladder effect and with higher resolution. People seem to like the first model because it was the original and people got used to the sound characteristics both good and bad parts.

THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. Kick ass stuff. Aly James you may have just turned yourself into a fave of mine.
