Even less favourite than a visit to a dentist, is a visit to a dentist because of the previous dentist visit. And yet, strangely enough, one gets charged for it on both occasions. 🙁 So now after, what - a month and a bit? - how do you rate the TR-8 in your setup?
I received the TR-8 at 16.9 so I've had it for two weeks at monday 😁 Pros: Legacy sounds I'm familiar with, easy to get the levels right in the mix. Stereo plus two mono outputs, the inputs can be assigned to mono inputs too. With the 7x7 expansion the range of the device is wide enough for my use, I was basically raised by those toms and the hihats. In general it sits great in the mix, it's never offensive or begging the attention unless you want to draw the attention to it. Then it can take the center stage, the sound quality is good enough. Enough controls and they're easy to access once you get familiar with it - now you see me use the track mutes on the device all the time instead of the mixer. Cons: 16 step sequencer which expands to 32 steps BUT you can't copy the first steps to the next 16 steps. You CAN use the song mode for longer sequences and the copypaste works fine there, but then you are pretty much limited to a single song in the machine. The swing is set, which makes me miss my Impact a lot, on it I could fine tune any hit to any amount of swing I wanted. No automation/motion sequencing, which shouldn't surprise anyone who bought it as it was never included. Still, wish it was there. Also, another two extra outputs would've been nice but not mandatory and I'm saying that knowing you can get all the channels separated through the USB - it's not my use case, so not a thing to me. The effects are limited but useable enough but I do wish I was able to quickly midi sync the delay as now you have to listen . . listen . . still not right . . listen to it to get it right-ish 😁 Overall it's a fine device for what I paid for it and the fact it has the legacy sounds I'm familiar with makes it really easy to work with. I can get the balance of my mixes right fast and for my workflow it works great. I'm old-school, my sound is a mix of that and whatever I've listened to as of lately and these sounds still dominate the airspace, whether we like it or not. 909 is the electric guitar of our generation and owning a device that can produce those sounds is a joy 😁 I might still go for the TR-8S down the line for the automation, though 🤔
Very chill❤ loving the vibe 🔥
