Seems more solid and punchy when I'm effecting the sound, again I think it's a preference thing though not an actual issue with battery 4. Multi outs is not as good as battery but it's good enough and man is it a powerful sampler once you get the workflow down. I've almost settled on using kontakt since I've use it from version 1 it is actually not that hard for me to use groups, layers, list view etc. Point is Battery 4 is probably great, yet for some reason it doesn't sit well with me, it's either a specific system issue or subliminal. We all chose a setting and could hear a difference, guess what, the EQ was not even activated.

If you are on a DAW that does not have something similar to what Battery does, it might be worth it. If you have Ableton, drum racks offer a lot more benefit (better integration, ability to use drum rack internal sends / return tracks, 'per pad processing' etc.). something seems off to me.Īlthough in school a teacher once had us listen to EQ changes he was making and asked us to decide which setting was the best to our ears and then he would tell us if it was the correct choice. As many have already mentioned, it really depends on your use case. not when just playing back a sample it sounds the same doing that but when using envelopes and choke groups etc. i don't know if it's a workflow thing but battery 4 just seems a little less punchy maybe glitch y to me compared to kontakt.
