@Balstyrico The sample quality IS horrible, (a frequency analyzer will show the lack of Lows and highs, plus everyone should hear the distortion etc) BUT, I guess the battles are always about making the best of the source material. I am not a fan of the MP3 quality standard, which wouldn't be a problem if they were at least good quality mp3s.(It is especially disappointing if a vinyl collector puts up mp3 quality samples)
If I don't like the quality, i just don't participate, I think we have all learned that the status quo of these battles wont change.
This week's samples are really dope, but it is a buzzkill if they sound like they do. So its a simple choice of just not participating, or try to make the best of it.
I am still always greatful for the variety of music, I often learn about new artists from these battles, and then I just try to buy the CD or vinyl version.
Also, I cant seem to use the Chura Liya Hai Tumne with Lyrics sample in Maschine, just says missing sample...
Take care everyone!
