Re: [elektron] Only for people that have recorded with a machine drum.

yeah i am not sure why you are using a direct box either, i record the
MD a lot, most of the time through a console with each individual out,
 my console is set up to use -10 or +4 signals and the only noise i
get is tape hiss,  so if your computer is the problem i have no idea
how to help,  although if i were you i would try recording the stereo
outs directly into the soundcard.   also ask the question here  
www.elektron-users.com there are a lot of computer recorders there.
