Is there an 'official' way to use the stock plugins?

I had always put the classic saturator on my master channel for years until one day I saw someone using just the maximizer and the limiter.

I also just learned that lowering your input gain before using the tape saturator will result in a very different sound.

These two relatively simple techniques changed a lot for me.

I've been using Maschine for a long enough time to know that there's probably a ton of stuff like this out there I may never learn about. The thought of it kinda hurts. I think it would be really cool if there was a thread devoted to just sharing tried and true mixing techniques, in really practical understandable ways with just the stock plugins.

The kind of content beginners can learn from, and pros can go back and refresh on. But also anyone can post...

I think you need to separate using Maschine from mixing and from mastering. There are lots of resources for all three, and I’ve found learning a little about mixing has changed how i set things up in Maschine. It also helps me to learn mixing in my DAW then apply ideas bacwards.
