Koala + Drambo

edited January 26 in General App Discussion

Hello Folks! I'm paging all the Drambo nerds who helped me out a lot on my last thread. I am looking into a new workflow with Koala as centerpiece in Drambo. I got the inspiration from this read : https://cololrsinspace.gumroad.com/l/tcfecn?layout=profile

Without knowing much from the OP-1 Field and the OP-XY, I feel the combo Koala/Drambo might be pretty much similar.

As a first question. I try to reroute the sound back into a same Koala instance for resampling purposes. Is :

Feedback Receive > Koala (as FX) > Feedback Send the best way?

If so, why is it that the feedbacked sound is less loud than the original sound?

Thanks in advance 🪷

    Interesting question. I tried the same path and it’s true, the Koala output and the feedback receive output going into Koala are identical, but Koala records the input at a lower level. It may be Koala’s own gain staging or input limiting.

    If you’re running Koala’s output through effects in Drambo, then using feedback is a good method. You could run the feedback through a gain module.

    Thanks for confirming. I was wondering if it was a user issue! I usually normalize the samples so it's not a big deal, I was just trying to understand the underlying reason. A gain module might be a good idea nevertheless!

    Koala does have built in gain staging as confirmed by the developer. I couldn’t understand why some samples were playing back lower than expected and I believe there is about a -3dB per pad built in to avoid clipping when summing multiple samples.

    Nice! Thanks for confirming!
