I was wondering how you guys arrange your beats with Maschine. I think it's obvious that when you want to automate master/group parameters such as volume, chorus effects and other stuff across scenes, you have to go to your DAW for that, and either route groups to DAW channels or export audio to tracks.
Basically I come from an emceeing background, and when I made beats before, they were just a few basic patterns with not much changes going on, so arrangement was never that much of an issue to me. But now that I'm getting more into the producer side, my beats get more complex and I need to master arranging, mixing and mastering. so hows your workflow for that?
another more specific question would be about master compression. do you automate compressor settings for intros, breaks, change-ups and outros? because you obviously don't want that intro piano part to be squashed beyond recognition when settings sound just right the second the other instruments step in.
