I like having a physical mixer - easier to do fade outs with out.
I’m fairly new to the electronic music thing - I played guitar and bass in different bands for 20 years, but a friend and i wanted to try something different.
He plays guitar (which he often loops and layers), e-drums (looped as well) and programs drums.
I play guitar, keys, manage the sequences and program drums as well.
We have a singer.
I tried sequencing everything with DNK but it quickly became a hassle for me since I need my hands for playing guitar.
What we’ve came up with - and works - for us.
DNK: If there’s p-lock/recorded knob twisting: that part gets recorded in the DNK’s sequencer and triggered through PC in Logic. If not, all the MIDI notes are recorded in Logic.
I sometimes play it live too - so Logic changes patches for me. One less thing to worry about.
M:S almost all the drum patterns are built in it. We add some hits or doubled parts here and there in Logic.
Bass station II: I mostly play it live - bass or lead - but sometimes it is sequenced in Logic. My partner will get it this week to play live because i got a…
Sub Phatty: Will be used for bass, leads and weird sounds. Mostly played live. It is a fantastic instrument, very hands on. I’ll get in the editor soon.
I’ll also try and patch my ES8 (guitar pedal switcher) to change patches at certain points of songs, so I don’t have to think about that either.
We’re slowly getting there, I think.
