Re: Sounds somewhat good?

Also check your effects configuration.
Are the effects in send and return by chance ?
And if so is the amount sent Pre/Post fader greater than 100 . You can overdirve the effects sends and cause clipping. It is possible your sample levels are too HOT . Did you get the 808 demo disk with the unit.
If so do these peoblems occur with the demo disk.
Is this on all effects or what effects are you using.
List indetail all the parameters and we'll ahve a better idea of the problem .
Good luck cause the 808 is an AMAZING machine
