"In this video I compare the Aira Tr-8 and the Tr-909. This is an unibased comparison. I am not being paid by any companies. I see too many comparison videos are poor and biased. I am an analog purist and when I heard the new tr-8 was digital, frankly I was upset. But I bought it anyway. Anyway I must say Roland Nailed it. F***** A! After playing it for a few days. I realized that I probably am never going to use my tr-808/909 again. May consider... selling the duo.(gasp) Still dont know. Anyway what are your thought? Maybe some of you can help me decide. Enjoy!
BTW I know my bald head is going to annoy some of you. If it does stop watching and go make some music.

Specs:

AUDIO- Recorded at 16 bit 192. Compressed to mp3. Dry. Absolutely nothing in the chain. Volume matched as close as possible. Tuning was also matched as close as possible."

"In this video I compare the Aira Tr-8 and the Tr-808. This is an unibased comparison. I am not being paid by any companies. Keep in mind that most differences are related to tuning . It is difficult to get the tuning 100 percent. Each 808 is different and mine is no exception. In fact Mine has a longer decay on the kick than most and my snare and cowbell are tuned high. Also, i did not go through every drum sound because it would require lots of time adjusting volume levels on the fly. one cannot simply mute/unmute the 808. Enjoy!"

And the 808 on it's own:

****Roland TR-808 DEMO Very High Quality Audio****

"Roland Tr-808 demo. Dry. Here I go through some of the patterns I have created on the TR-808. You guys might recognize Sexual Healing at 2:21. I tried to create patterns that were modern and characteristic of how the TR 808 would be used in modern music. These are not retro patterns. I think you guys will get a nice idea of the sounds. It really does sound fantastic. Although I won't be selling mine, I think the new AIRA TR-8 will replace this for all of my needs. It sounds just about as good as this. Way to go Roland!"
