I just didn’t vibe with it. It’s a cool box and all, just not for me. I gave it months but I just couldn’t get things to sit right in that box. The pioneer box is more of what I was looking for, I only had an analog heat beforehand and figured I’d give them a shot with the digitakt.
Odd. I've only seen ppl say positive things about DT's sound. Seen some say it sounds better than OT. I don't have the DT, so I'm not defending it. I do have the OT, and I have no probs with its sound. Tried the DT at a store with headphones once and thought it sounded real strong.
But yeah, the stereo->mono issue can be serious, so pay attention to it.
E.g., last night I bought and old percussion pack (Junk Percussion by Zero-G), and while I like its sounds, I found that some sounds had this really wide stereo image, and making it mono in my DAW felt like things drop some 7 dB in level...so always pay attention to that when monoing (or when widening as well).
Also, if you route a sampler to your audio interface's input, and out that way, that can often be a weak link if you have a cheap interface.
Me, I rock UAD…want to have the signal as strong as can be.
