Read a lot of reviews on both of these and don't really see much in the way of sound quality comparison. Main sort of negatives I see with the Boss are difficult to use. I have one now and I find it very easy to use as I am very familiar with 90's/ 2000's Roland / boss menus and to me has some great features for live work.
I do keep reading a lot about the Alesis DR-16 as a real industry standard...or lets say it was. I am wondering if it would be an upgrade for me sound quality wise. I must say I am not really interested in sequencing or programming....midi etc. I don't even want to create "songs". Only something that I can create or use a basic preset pattern, make some tweaks and save it as a patch to be reused later. I play more middle of the road pop / country stuff so no intricate beats required. I read somewhere you can't change the time sig on an Alesis? Only 4/4. I find that hard to believe. I am much more interested in the sound quality more than anything else. I know I should be using a DAW or something like that and I know there are a lot of probably more high end machines out there but just want something basic and easy to use at a gig or practice.
Would I be gaining much sound quality wise by getting an Alesis?
