Sound quality is inferior when comparing with original samples #4

When the samples play through QuickTracker, they don't sound as good as when playing them in any audio editor.

In QuickTracker, the transients sound dull and smeared off, and it generally sounds much more "lofi", as if run through a bit reducer, or at a lower sample rate.

There's also random cracks and pops when activating/deactivating steps while the sequencer is playing.

Switching the mp3 files for their original wav file counterparts instead doesn't change the issue.

The output was clipping because for each sample, the Left and Right channels were getting summed in the middle. The clipping is now fixed, and the stereo samples are rendered in stereo, as they should.

The sound is still sort of lofi sounding, though. This helps the sound quality, but doesn't fix the issue.
