Nah talking 808 and 606s really but that said I still think the tr8s hats don’t match the original for whatever reason.

Sadly you’re right. Listen to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells” where early on during the bar he tweaks the open high hat. Even though it’s a sample, somehow I’ve never heard that slur replicated digitally.

And that’s another example - I really like the TR8(s) but once I got NAVA I was blown away at the sound - I wouldn’t doubt it’s also something to do with the DACs
