[@Donkeyhead]

Btw on the drum buss, if you press the element that shows the note it will automatically choose the correct frequency closest to the note displayed.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Yesss true that! i though I did that 🤷🏼😅 ens kerralla uusiks! 🙌

[@elohimiman6560]

how sway?

[@justjoannec8399]

I wonder why my tuner utility in Ableton doesn't seem to work at all sometimes. Are there different settins on it you can to to make it more sensitive to "hear"?

[@mtennantmusic]

my question is, should you always use cymbals and hi-hats because I've kind of stopped implementing them and I like the way it sounds. Am I just being a noob?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

No need to always use them! There is no right or wrong! Just you do you! ☺️🥁

[@yardleylfc]

I don't know what swing does???

[@belito5237]

i think it sounded worse as the notes are now clashing in the bottom end
