I think I’ll probably just record into my OT (5 minute time limit) and drop the audio onto my computer. That way I’ll avoid the ADDA conversion issue.
Using an external recorder would be pretty nice just to record longer jams though - just that I can’t handle having recorded audio not sounding the same or sounding worse than when I was monitoring it.
Looking for a steer on cables…Are people using TRS (Balanced) 1/4” OUTPUT L/R from the Digitakt into a Zoom? And, Is there any significant difference between Jack to Jack vs. Jack (Digitakt) to XLR (Zoom)?
Also, given in the Digitakt manual it states ‘The stereo signal is summed to mono in the Digitakt’ is there any significant difference using separate TS (unbalanced) cables when transferring a sample out of a Zoom or are people using the same TRS (Balanced) cables for OUTPUT L/R (recording to Zoom) and INPUT L/R (sampling from Zoom)?
Not 100% certain, but if you use XLRs I think you’ll be tapping into the preamps rather than line in.
Digitakt samples in mono only. If you sum a stereo signal going in, it may change the sound (phase etc), but that’s just the nature of it. I send all my signals through an Apollo and then back out to my samplers (one of them being the digitakt) through separate outs, all in stereo. I use TRS cables for all those connections.
Thanks, ended up going for 2 x Male XLR to 1/4" TRS for recording out and 2 x short 0.5m 1/4” Male TS to 1/4” Male TS for sampling in
If it is just a simple single stereo line you are recording, why not just a H1N?
Anything more is overkill, no?

I own a h1n and it’s a very good fieldrecorder. It’s a bit plastic, but very small, light and cheap. For just 1 line-in recording it is very capable. I bought it for €79,-.

Anyone got tips on getting the Takt to not run so hot into the H4Npro? I have to turn the input level on the Pro down to 1 in order to even turn the Takt up halfway…
