At last…someone with a sense of rhythm demoing a drum machine!

@Flashback_Jack 10 месяцев назад

Someone? LMFAO! This man was one of the inventors of electro--basically first wave hiphop. The 808 is the singular drum machine of first generation hiphop. There is likely nobody on the planet that has pressed more 808 buttons than he has. He IS the 808.

@tylernicolo7654 6 лет назад

He got the decay of the TR-08 kick set so short!! Can't y'all hear that? He got the 808 kick boomin long and the TR-08 kick set to "tiny click." Turn that decay knob on the TR-08 up and the volume up just like 2db and everyone wouldn't be sayin shit! Smart people thumbs up if you understand what I'm sayin

@jasperburchfield2028 Месяц назад

That make total sense.

@rewire4247 7 лет назад

The TR-08 sounds good by itself but the minute the real 808 came on it jumped out much more intense

@nrvana8775 7 лет назад

To be fair, the 808 is louder.

@rewire4247 7 лет назад

It was the crack of the snare I really noticed . Bit more high end snap on the 808.

@robman80808 7 лет назад

The 808 kick also just seems to have more, I don't know, compression maybe? Just pushes you in the chest. TR-08 sounds great though - just wish they could make it do the same thing!

@nrvana8775 7 лет назад

I'm not being an apologist/defender of the 08. It's fine for what it is, but the 808 sounds so much better. There definitely is a weight/heft and snap/attack to it that isn't present in the 08. But, the treble/presence could be possibly attributed to higher volume. Just trying to be fair

@Aurum1977 7 лет назад

I think rebirth sounded better. Not even close.

@gregbroussard2427 6 лет назад

It’s out now and the ones who bought it already know it’s a nice drum machine. Only $350 and you can program your own beats. Roland I want to thank you for this.

And I want to thank you for making bad ass electro since the 80s. On the Nile was one of my first albums I bought with my lawn cutting money. Lol. I just got a Roland TR-8S and I've been making a shit load of electro, as well as techno and trap, with this beast. Anyway, have a good one. Loving the new albums. Keep it up.

the unit u gave me became a part of me. i'll never forget this. and the moment i turned it on for the first time. thank u sooooooooooo much!!! the original cowbell for instance is higher, but one can tweak that (a lil extra the original didn't have). i basically tweaked it to the point i can't differ it from my original one. ).

@arthurfussy 7 лет назад

I just downloaded the pure audio of this video to normalize both tracks and compare it. It's weird, but the waveform of the original 808 is in fact less louder (less transients, I guess). So with both tracks normalized, the difference is even more obvious than in this video...

@pcuimac 7 лет назад

RetroSound The volume levels of both machines haven't been adjusted for power outout to the amp. No wonder the 808 sounds better, because it was just louder. You can't compare two machines without good preparation.

@electrocolourfield2200 7 лет назад

100% spot on, i have both, and run through a decent mic pre, i use API.. then there's no noticeable difference apart from the 808 sounds a bit noisier, put it in a mix.. then fahgettaboudit !

@spin2113 6 лет назад

On the TR-08 you can also choose between 2 kicks - BD (Normal or Long Decay) as well as add built in compression to the bass drum and snare drum...it hits hard and I'm loving it!!! Scored the 08 for just under $300, bought my TR808 about 10 years ago for $800

@__teles__ 7 лет назад

You could easily make the TR-08 sound like the 808. Not sure why he's selling you the TR-08 but didn't bother getting it to sound better.

@curisoul4661 4 года назад

Thanks man, you’ve helped me so much rn !

@rothsothy 7 лет назад

It seems some viewers here aren't aware that the beat was already pre-programmed/tweaked on the TR-808. About 5:00 onwards, Greg adjusts the bass on the TR-08 to match what was heard on the TR-808. Also, notice how this video was uploaded on August 8th (808 Day)

@PhilipTerzis 7 лет назад

Guys.... The volume of some parts of the TR-08 are a bit lower than the 808.... You can't do a comparison of two machines with different volume levels... (Take for example the kick drum...) It's psychoacoustics.... Even if it's 1 dB...The brain will always prefer the louder source. P.S. Yes, the 808 may sound a bit fuller but still... a comparison with different volume levels is not fair.

@musicoctavemotivation3720 6 лет назад

Exactly it's digital. Tr 08 once it's on the computer its limit less on how much you can tweak the sound

@ernestmccann3694 6 лет назад

The sounds on the tr 08 can be tuned and have gain settings for the sounds in settings,it sounds pretty damn good,I'm not mad at it,if you are really into the tr 808 the tr 08 is true to its 808 sound 💯💯💯💥

@gregbroussard2427 7 лет назад

The New TR-08 sounds great. The sound tech just had the volume lower on it when we shot the video. It was turned down because the mic was feeding back. For only $350 you can't beat that. The look and the sound and feel of the TR 808 at a fraction of the cost. Don't sleep on this boutique by Roland. If you can't afford the O.G. get the 08. It's just like saying if you can't afford the La Ferrari get the 488.

@beatz04 7 лет назад

"The sound tech just had the volume lower" "because the mic was feeding back" - why have a sound tech at all then ? Wasn't he hired to make sure issues like this wouldn't happen ? Now you have to come here and make all sorts of explanations, excuses and promises. Why shoot a video at all ?

@gregbroussard2427 7 лет назад

beatz04 why all the bad vibes? It's just a video. It's only $350. Buy it. You'll make that back when you win the Grammy.

@beatz04 7 лет назад

It's not "bad vibes" (google "ad hominem") - it's called criticism.

@MurkFM-kl2kn 7 лет назад

would have been better to record everything matched going direct in vs. using a microphone and then syncing that with the video, at the end of the day it's the sound that matters so it's important to make sure that the representation is as accurate as possible, that is what the audience will be judging on. Appreciate the demo tho and much love to Egyptian Lover. #beatgoboom

@RecMirage 7 лет назад

As a producer and director who has shot stuff with Sony, Microsoft and Renault, how the heck did you make such a mess of this, if your claim regarding the audio is true? Visually you got it right but the audio is the most important thing.

In this video, the 808 sounds much better than the 08, and I don't think it's just because it has a bit higher volume. Sounds much more present and full. The 08 sounds thinner.

@redoctoberff 7 лет назад

He literally says in the video they used post processing on the 808 to modify the sound. That's really stupid for a comparison video, and the kick still sounds a lot worse. But I think a lot of the difference is easily chalked up to loudness and different settings. The decay is noticeably different.

@3beanstew672 6 лет назад

I’m curious...how many of the hate comments are from people who actually own a TR08? When properly tuned and leveled it’s a pretty solid match to an 808, and even if you disagree it’s still a great drum machine in its own right. This video doesn’t really give the TR08 justice. The low end and decay on the TR08 is serious. It might be tiny but it’s not a toy...a powerful tool in the right hands.

OK, It not sounds as the original Analog TR-808, but for this MONEY, it SOUNDS Pretty AMAZING! Also, maybe some of you says the it sounds like a VST (it's not! in my opinion) but still it has the hardware format with the same design as the original, with the same tweak-ability, none of the VST-s or samples gives you this flexibility... anyway, I Love it!

awe man...I was really digging the TR-08 until the real 808 kicked in. Granted, it seemd the 808 was leveled higher, but still, you can hear that desireable boom in the 808 which is just missing in the TR-08. I'll still get the TR-08 though because...$350 lol.

@frunkfrankly 7 лет назад

It's kinda hard to tell because the 808 is much louder in this video but I have a strong preference for the original in this video. Maybe the noise he's talking about gating and eq'ing out is part of what makes it sounds more alive and poppin. To my ears the kick sounds the closest to the original but the hats and clap is where you can really tell the difference.
