[evanrock666]

Thanks!!this vid is very helful to me ..

[SoundsAndGear]

@evanrock666 glad to help

[stuff3]

I guess I mean like, if you combine a few kicks and you tweak em and stuff and you've got this nice sound going, is there a way to just save that new sound you've created? Instead of having to go back and recreate the sound again?

[SoundsAndGear]

@stuff3 yes you can save it as a cell or as part of your own custom kit.

[stuff3]

So this helps you make new samples?

[SoundsAndGear]

@stuff3 I'm not sure what you mean, you can make new samples with it by combining different sounds together I suppose.

[SoundsAndGear]

@jamilboricua thanks for watching

[KyouJin82]

gutes video um mal die funktionen kennen zu lernen!

thank you!

[theycheated]

Very informative walkthrough. Thank you

[SoundsAndGear]

@theycheated thanks

[THEREALtrappajohn]

IS THIS PRETTY MUCH LIKE FPC IN FL STUDIO? IF SO, WHICH DO YOU THINK IS BETTER?

[SoundsAndGear]

@THEREALtrappajohn this has a lot more options than fpc, but truthfully I use Maschine more than this.

[Harrysound]

Is this suitable at all for Metal and rock?

I mean I need something to author my drum tracks and maybe export the midi to trigger a drum VST

[SoundsAndGear]

@Harrysound it could be, but you may want to checkout products like BFD, EZdrummer, etc

[Eumusic1]

Check also : Nerve vst ,Guru ,Poise vst,Vengeance Metrum

[SoundsAndGear]

@Eumusic1 i've done videos on guru, poise, and geist, this was one of the first one's I did. I've played with nerve too, good stuff, thanks!

[MagB93]

Can i record some stuff?

And put the recordings to Cubase or other Programms?

[SoundsAndGear]

@MagB93 you don't record with this, you open it in cubase or other programs and load your samples into it

[MagB93]

@SoundsAndGear Thanks man !

[SoundsAndGear]

@MagB93 no problem

[kevbomb]

I wanna get this but, can you adjust the amount of shuffle/swing in a loop? or is that outside of battery, I have logic 9

[SoundsAndGear]

@kevbomb this isn't a sequencer so that would depend on your daw

[firm17]

Can you rewire this to protools?

[SoundsAndGear]

@firm17 yeah, it comes in rtas format I believe.

[coolin7000]

Damn, that som'bitch off da chain! shit, I could tell that from the first minute, a muthafucka be makin drums on that for hours..

[SoundsAndGear]

@coolin7000 hahahaa, no doubt, thanks for watchin

[TeaganTyEes]

Thank You! I'm about to get so nerdy on some Battery after watching this one!!!!

[SoundsAndGear]

@TeaganTyEes lol, cool!

[tigersmilkmusic]

Yo can you sample directly into Battery like the mpc's record feature?

[SoundsAndGear]

@tigersmilkmusic no, not that I know of.

[vei85]

thx for the reply . yup .. i understand its jz a sampler . Because I also bought addictive drums and easy drummer. Both comes with patterns .I jz wonder does it comes with patterns .. or anywhere can we download the patterns? thanks . Sory i m still noob ..sory bout that..)

[SoundsAndGear]

no problem, I was just saying it's a sampler only and not a pattern player like some of those other ones are. It's all good

[vei85]

hey .. gd day .. i have a question... i have battery 3. But i wonder how to make it play some drum patterns, instead of doing it (sequence) manually? does battery 3 comes with preset drum patterns ? thx!

[SoundsAndGear]

battery isn't a sequencer, just a sampler, so you need to play your own patterns. You may want to look into bfd 2, ez drummer, superior drummer, or even guru for patterns as well.

[isawacat]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[SoundsAndGear]

glad it helped you out man! thanks for watching.

[isawacat]

Been up a night watching your videosal night after watching the battery video. I'm a big pianoteq fan myself.

[SoundsAndGear]

thanks dude! yeah pianoteq is awesome!

[przedZiomka]

I was wondering if there is better vst with drums. Battery is nice - all drums in one place, but I don't know how to get that dirty, oldschool drums, like from mpc, because all drums in battery sound clean to me

[SoundsAndGear]

it's all about the sounds you put in it, you can use the fxs and such in battery to get some dirty drums. Only mpcs that have a "dirty" sound were the very first ones because the sampler was lower resolution.

Sample some drums from vinyl or buy some more rugged drum kits to load in battery and you'll be fine.

[disciple21781]

exactly!

[JacobawSnow]

Hey man, I don't do hip-hop or techno or anything like that. I write and record hardcore/ indie/ powerpop sort of stuff. We will just call it rock for now. I would prefere a live drummer. I play drums myself. But I am looking for something that will work better in the house for the writing process. Loops won't work for me. I like to mix things up, change the feel of the song. How many bars can you map in battery? Instead of a loop, could I do an entire song?

[SoundsAndGear]

well, you can't really record anything in battery, it's just a sampler, no sequencing abilities inside it at all.

I would suggest you look into BFD from FXpansion, it sounds more like what you are looking for.

[flux302]

yo saintjoe. how do you get the mapping with maschine to trigger the sounds you want? I'm still cutting teeth in battery three (granted just started messin with it tonight) but i find it hard to know how I'm mapping to the pads inside it.

[SoundsAndGear]

I believe it's by note value. I just played around on the keyboard till I found which ones they were. They kinda lay out in order chromatically. But I think you can change it to whatever you wish. I'll play around with it some more and see, I'm mostly loading premade kits lol..so I just play it out lol.

[kalamazooboom]

personally I don't think battery, or anything midi, hits as hard as mpc.

I got the battery sampler for free, but not the actual battery kits, so I couldn't say what I thought of those.

[SoundsAndGear]

what mpc you got? I loaded up the same kits I have on my mpc 4000, coming through the same monitors...and battery sounds nice, hits just like I need it to.

But it's all good either way!

[kalamazooboom]

I'm messin with the 5000, but when I record the sample (especially kicks) I let it clip just a tiny bit, then turn the velocity down on the pad and it sounded a bit harder to me (but then again I was using headphones = / )

I do love me some battery on an r&b beat though, make it sound nice and clean, but for hip hop I like that sloppy drum sound.

[SoundsAndGear]

lol, battery can sound sloppy too! You have way more options than on the mpc. But it's all good...not sure what you meant by "anything midi" as the mpc is a "midi production center" long as you making the music you like, it don't matter I love my mpc and my software lol.

[kalamazooboom]

haha in fairness I juuust got battery and have no idea how to make it customizable.

but i must say, they work excellently together!
