I swear its like pulling teeth to get any help at those Music superstores, And where do they train these cats anyway?
After waiting around for an hour with my thumb up my butt trying to flag down some help I finally get 2 of those Rebel without a clue clones, you know the ones.. the spiked hair and the pierced eyebrows.
I ask about the Zoom 234 and they both look at me like I just asked them to split an atom.
Couldnt get the thing to play, the pads worked but I wanted to get a playable sound, so I decided to do things myself and after another hour I figured that there had to be a "P" before the selected track, maybe for Program or Playable I assume.
Okay now im getting playable sound, but wait! whats with the bass?
How do you turn this thing off? So this other guy was next to me and I got more help from a customer than i did a sales rep.
So he goes on to tell me that you have to hold the "-" button or mute button down to just hear the drums? So I turn around and hes gone.. poof, just like that..
Tell me this aint so?
You mean you gotta hold that button down to mute out the bass?
I love the sounds but I gotta be honest.. 900 different sounds and 880 are pure crap!
Whats with all the goofy tamberines and congos and crap?
All Im lloking for is some solid drum tracks, no goofy stuff
To be honest, i thought the 123 sounded better.
At least it had a bass mute button...
3 hours waas enough goofing around without a manual so i exited the store.
What drum machine out there weeds out all the crap and just gives you soild rock/blues/metal samples?
Cakewalk and Cubase drum software at least gives you sample and "fills"
What drum machine has a nice selection of fills?
I was hoping the Zoom was the answer but man was i disappointed..
Sounded great but too many spices spoiled the stew..
Someone wanna point me in the right direction?
thnaks alot!
