Hey guys! Just started experimenting with adding a maschine to my live setup. Just a couple questions for other people that might be doing the same thing.
First off what do you sequence when using it? I've found that live drums usually the only thing that I can accomplish while playing with two other tracks.
Do you finger drum any parts? I've found for myself that finger drumming doesn't quite come out that well even with quantize on so I've only been programming and step sequencing my loops.
What genres do you use it with? I've found that maschine doesn't not work well with much else besides tech house and techno. Progressive house and some more melody driven tracks don't sound well with too much percussion.
How do you setup your banks for playing? For starters I've just made myself a project with 8 banks of the included drum kits. I feel though I'd be better off having separate banks for each type of percussion i.e., one for claps, snares, high hats, etc.
One last thing too, do you have any FX or other devices on each bank? Compressors, limiters, etc.
Thanks!
