Thread: First rack. Advice needed
Welcome to Euroland :)
The question leads to 1000 answers, but that´s normal at the beginning. What comes to mind:
- Is your interest in drums more about the drum sounds or sequencing drums?
- Controlled patterns or generative/random/euclidian?
- Is a computer involved?
- What kind of drumming are we talking about: EDM, Ambient, Percussions etc?
- Interested in sampling?
- Loops or individual sounds?
- How do you mix and apply fx?
I ended up with a full mantis case for drums, including a metron sequencer for grid programming and some modules for controlled randomness. Focussed on techno, I added some fx for a rumble chain (delay, reverb, eq, compressor) and a mixer to get a drums submix.
On the MSCL: Great module and you get the best results utilizing the sidechain (for example to duck the bassline). Not sure how this will be done in your setup.
Hope this helps!
