Thanks for your reply, as it's what I kinda knew but needed to here from someone. Just put a trim plug on the mono kick track you just recorded and crank up the gain, and also turn your listening levels up. If you want to regain some of that perceived "richness, detail, and fullness" that you thought you heard coming from Maschine's stereo output, When I'm tracking what is obviously a mono kick (or snare, or whatever) from a drum VI, I set the send for that VI to a mono bus, set up a new track, set its input to that mono buss, record the drum part, and then move In short, your brain perceives it as "doubled" in power, and somehow "spread out" across a stereo spectrum. Present in the left and right channels simultaneously, BUT because your ears are on opposite sides of your head, information is reaching one of your ears slightly earlier. Your brain is perceiving a "fuller" sound because the same information is Don't be too hard on yourself because you imagine that mono sources sound better coming out of a stereo output. You could go further than that and run a spectrum analyzer on the stereo kick track and you would see the exam same spectrum in both sides of the track. The left and right "sides" of the waveform will be identical. You can test this yourself by recording the "dual mono kick" part as a stereo audio track and looking at the waveform. Even if it was technically "dual mono" (that is, coming out the stereo output) the left/right information isĮxactly the same. Something "more" you're hearing from the stereo output of the VI. What's happening is this - you are experiencing an illusion that there is It's an issue with any drum VI, including Battery 4, Arturia's Spark drum machines, fxPansion Geist - any So if there are any hardcore Maschine/DP users, I'd love your insight! This has now turned into a two part question, lol! Thank you all! Has anyone else tried this? Am I missing something? The Dual Mono Aux setup is definitley more enjoyable to listen to.

So I'm wondering, what are you hardcore Maschine users doing when it comes time to record your drum parts? I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but I couldn't find much in the way of what people are doing to deal with this.Īlso, in trying to see how the routing in Maschine worked, I tried routing a stock stereo synth patch from Maschine to DP using a stereo Aux channel, and 2 Mono Aux channels panned hard L/R. Does Maschine prefer us to use dual mono everything? Also, when exporting the said Kick track in Maschine into DP, it converts the Kick to stereo. When I A/B between the audio from Output 2 (Kick) coming into an Aux channel in DP, and the same Kick playing from within Maschine, I notice a tiny bit of punch and transient information isn't there when being routed into DP. When I go to record a Kick that is clearly a mono Kick, I route it to Output 2 and set the input accordingly in DP. One kinda big issue for me with Maschine is the audio routing. I've haven't had this much fun, let alone productivity, in a very long time. So I've been playing with a friends Native Instruments Maschine, and am very impressed with many aspects of this tool.
