I can get the 808 for the same price as the 404. Is it worth it? |

it really depends on what u need from the machine. if u want a built in sequencer without having to use a comp then 808 but if thats not a need of yours then the 404's features far outweigh the 808's |

I've never used a sampler before, or made beats(probably messed around with garageband for a few minutes but that's it lol), but I don't have a computer of my own, so I guess this might be better. But what features does the 404 have that the 808 doesn't have? |

the 404 uses cf cards to store data while the 808 uses zip disks which are much slower n harder to find in retail stores. the load times r a lot quicker on the 404 due to the storage medium. but not to bash the 808 it has some killer fx and the sequencers not to shabby. if u can grasp the machine without getting lost in the manual which isn't written to great, u could definitely have a blast on it as well. take a look at some of the videos on the link below to get a glimpse of some of the things capable with the 808. autochopp does some cool ish with that machine. check out the 808 section on the forum if u haven't already as well as the 404 section for some more info. also jbl on these forums is a 808 user so he would definitely know tons more then i would seeing as i don't own one. hope this helps homie. if anyone else wants to chime in with some advice that would be great hehe http://www.youtube.com/user/AUTOCHOPP |
