Calling all Metallica owners

[Deleted member 181]

Hey ladies ,
So after a long long time finally a Met has made its way back home and I had a few questions.
Having been used to newer machines over the past years the audio I have obviously come to realise is pretty terrible , this machine still has stock speakers so I know the first thing to do is get bigger ones in there , but has anyone managed to do anything else ?? Like maybe amp it ok a bit ??? Also It does sound like the mix is off like the songs are too quite I seem to not remember it being like this ??? but also I wondered has anyone done anything with any of the songs as in changed a few ? As some of the tracks are a bit lame.
Would love to do pin browser and add other tracks but my level of tech ability is pretty crap
Cheers
Will

I've never thought the sound quality on my met pro was poor, although i have pondered on upgrading the speakers to make it really kick. Mine is a pro led with metal back box manufactured end of 2017. Did these have different speakers to the original 2013 wooden back box model?

Mine is pro led and sounds just fine. I have recently hooked it up to an external sub and even better. But fine without.

Yeah, SAM is crap compared to Spike 2 , I have 2015 Premium hooked up to a External Sub with Pinnovator card.
Sounds better, I’m also happy with the existing Metallica tracks, some of the best. I think you could really beef it up with Pinwoofers powered kit - top notch.

It’s going to get sold again, isn’t it.

MET sounds infinitely superior to my Whitestar and WPC89 tuned ears.

stick a sub under it and you’re done.

I think it’s just because the last games I have had have been TNA and AC and the sound on those was so superior and also had a few new sterns and Jp’s So
Going back to an older pin I really noticed it.
I just wasn’t sure if it was more a hardware thing so if I bung a load of cash on one of those cool looking speaker set ups is it really going to make that much difference to the actual sound of the hardware isn’t able
To produce the sound if that makes sense
I am also thinking this sound package might
Have been changed as I am certain “one” was on the game I had ?? A bit of investigation I feel

You could just download and install the latest official rom so at least you know the file’s not some iffy bootleg mix ripped from vinyl or tape.

 

[J.C.Rox]

I lifted a remixed rom off the pinside thread with a few songs switched out, was a nice change once youve got used to the originals

Another vote for sub
