How are you organizing your hits inside Battery – are you grouping by tone, region, or just what plays well together?
I actually only use Battery in the studio, I don’t play live with it.
The way I organize it in the studio is that I have a Battery kit saved with my favorite snares, a separate kit saved with my favorite kicks, a separate kit saved with my favorite high hats, and a separate kit saved with my favorite claps, etc.
If you look at my Ableton sessions, you will find the drum group has multiple channels, each channel using its Battery plug-in playing only one specific element (snare, kick, high hat, etc)
Pro tip from Sainte Vie: Many percussive elements are tonal and getting the pitches right can create ‘alignment’ in a mix.
