autopilot Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Whenever hooking hardware into my computer I always have to turn the Line In or Mic volume way down in the Recording section of the volume control. I don't know if that's your problem though.

cash madrid jive Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 record a bit of it and let's hear... probably the output channel that's been damaged?

pylonbitch Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 try routing the output to 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2 any better? if not, then your alesis is fux0red. also, before binning it, you might like trying to lower the output of the machine.. or turning down the input gain on whatever you're inputting it into.

Guest aquinas Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 yeah i've tried everything possible, and i'm pretty sure the output channel is shot Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/4127-drum-machine-alesis-sr-16/#findComment-84257 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylonbitch Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 aquinas said: yeah i've tried everything possible, and i'm pretty sure the output channel is shot so the question still stands then... does it sound good distorted? the sr-16 is a fucking great wee drum machine, though not as versatile as it's predecessor, the hr-16. i've got an sr, and i love the step sequencer... you can do some super complex shit on it if yoou want to get up to your elbows in lots of numbers on a tiny screen. my only complaint with it is that the kick samples are really thin... need eq'd and compressed up to fuck before they're worth using.
