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

This is the reason that I use the direct box. The demeter is a tube DB. It has a natural sustaining characteristic that display traits of compression and natural sound that I love. I would think that if you were recording through a console that you probably would not be able to notice the noise of the md anyway, seeing on how the mixer would be generating it's own noise. By the way, the Demeter is way clean and I never had any trouble recording my andromeda without noise.

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.
