Bass Detuned When Uploading Beats

PatchCarr

Sometimes on sights such as soundcloud.com I notice that the low end of my tracks sounds detuned. Has anyone else noticed this? I suspect it may have to do with compression they put on the file. Any thoughts?

i think that might depend on the rate you export your tracks in whatever program you use. I noticed that if I make my beats at a lower bitrate but export it at a higher bitrate with my asio soundcard active, it dramatically changes some of the dynamics of the track...I, however, havent noticed any changes to my music when I upload on SC.

Try listening to it in your music program. soundcloud doesn't seem to do anything to the file

low bass naturally tends to sound detuned

Yea you might want to check your software. I have noticed soundcloud uploads sound the best when you upload WAV instead of MP3. What software are you using?

I'm using cubase 6. Under more scrutiny I realized it only seems to happen on tracks with REALLY low bass and only when I have my headphones cranked. So I think it is just sort of an illusion... thanks y'all.
