[DREWDANK]

mono is the shit!

mono is the shit!

i dont mind mono. but when i sample, say there is a drum on the left... i pan the mixer to the left and grab just the drums. can't do that with this. i have another tape module that ONLY outputs the left channel, not even true mono, a real pain in the ass. mono is nice occasionally as a mix down, but when a piece of equipment takes a stereo track and sends out a mono it frustrates me. especially when this piece does so much other stuff

U sure it's not actually a 'stereo' 'fat headphone jack' type output ? Back in the dayo there was this kid's toy Teddy Ruxphin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Ruxpin and you put Teddy tapes in and his mouth would yap to the story, but if you put in a 'real' non-Teddy tape it would play it backwards! That's how I was able to hear Flavor Flav's rant from "Megablast" forward on my PE tape- uhh.. you pretty much got to grab weird cassette playback devices if you see them for cheap on the used market.

whoa thats a weird piece of equipment. well im not giving this thing credit. i realized that i have one jack for headphones, but for the aux out there are two jacks... but i dont have a cable for this. so i need two mono 1/8" --> rca's for the 404 input... experimentation the key
