the 303acid test - especially for aratron

[rhythmtech]

right. 3 samples of the same bassline. which one is the real 303?

the same desk settings are used on each file. the distortion is from driving the output of the URS channel strip.

Heh, good idea. I'm going to vote for C.

Now am I any old asshole or a connisseur?

[acidguru]

Are other members guesses allowed here too,Baz?

you can be the independent judge. pm Baz find out the answer. i'll guess and you can verify the answer.

[acidguru]

Just noticed there´s already one,it´s B i guess,and it can´t be A deffo..

y do you think its B and why can it definitly not be A? just wondering your thinking on it.

[Athar]

i agreed with acidguru and my vote is for B
very close for real tb 303 is C i suppose,
A sample its a bit .... muted, doesnt sound like real 303 in my opinion

I just listened to the samples a few times again,
I change my mind, voted for C

B sounds like early Acid Junkies and early Hardfloor speaking of the 303 sound,both used the TB303,A sounds more like a clone,i´m missing the ´bite ´so to say..

[rhythmtech]

hmm pretty hard innit.
however having listened to my mate Paper's two real 303's . .

Got to be A.

[Athar]

hope you will not finish this competition so quick,
really intrestin other users opinion

[rhythmtech]

ill leave it a day or two.

[People_Mover]

The A sample seems forced and the C sample seems to pure to be true. I'm going for the compromise - I reckon it's the B sample.

[pat_mcgerkin]

Fvcked if I know, it all sounds like acid to me.

[acidguru]

Check http://www.acidvoice.com/ for soundclips of the real TB303 and 303 clones..

[People_Mover]

'A' sounded a bit flat to me, but the way my ears have been abused over the years, I'm lucky to be hearing anything at all! In any case, all this experiment proves is that I know sod all about production, and am virtually tone deaf. Nice acid line, though.

[xes]

I was going with C,but only because there was a slight hiss behind it. It sounded like it had been plugged in,not was a plug in.

here's a little video comparing the tb303 with the retro revolution

did you guess right?

[magneze]

C just had a bit more "swing" for me, that why I went for it. if that makes sense ...
