i’ve been step sequencing drums on my korg workstation for years and have only moved to software based drum mapping in the last year. I much prefer this new method (SD 2.2) . The question is, is there a “right place to start” in terms of starting velocity? I always had to start at around vel 100 on my korg, which only leaves 27 notches to go up, but 100 available downward. Problem is, starting at 100, anything below about 70 is inaudible in the mix (by which i mean if i sequence most hits between 90-127, then after adding guitars, bass, keys and vocals a hit at velocity 45 would be near inaudible on the track) . Any advice?
P.S. maybe it’s worth mentioning, most of what i sequence is either extreme metal or swinging punk; but i am now getting into electronic and “natural” instruments (shakers, maracas, etc). Is there a “right place to start” velocity-wise for different styles?
Thanks, and I #@*%ing LOVE this program.
