Is it me or does the Digi001 sound like...

[jon one]

I've had my Digi001 for about two years now (before PT i was on a Yamaha MT8X - PT was my first digital tracker) and i love the ease of use, the software, etc. But in that same course of time I've done mixes on a Roland VS1680 and more recently a dinky little KorgD8 - in some cases mixing down straight to DAT or CDR, no software involved...and guess what, those mixes beat the [bleep] out of my PT/Digi001 mixes, what gives, I'm losing low end, character, volumes are super low on bouncing even when the meters are peaking...I literally have to bounce my mixes three times to get them to the standard CD volume. have I just been doing things wrong, I dont overcompress, over EQ or any such thing, the sound just aint that great....any suggestions to remedy the problem, any 002 with comparitive stories?

For the record I have also been through the mixers, a Behringer, Mackie and now a Soundcraft...still no difference I've ran direct outs and subs, still no remedy.

THX!
