Maschine auto, best way to 're-write'

Best way to rewrite automations in my opinion is, if you have to change only a part, editing it through the software. If you have to remake it from scratch, it is to clear previous one and redo it completely

Not knowing how much you know about automations in Maschine, I’ll start with some basics videos (first one very short if you don’t have too much time to watch it)

Remember you can see automation lanes in the software by pulling up its view from here:

(About second video when he tells Automations can’t be done on Master level:it is true, but there’s a workaround for this. If you need it, let me know 😉)

Yes about automation for Master workaround?

In facts, it’s quite easy: you just have to set up an empty group as a “fake Master”. Then you output all the other groups to this one instead of Master and like this you can put any fx you want in it (also Perform FX that can’t be otherwise put on the Master channel) and you are free to record your “fake master” automations 😉

The same thing can be done to have “fake bus” channels, in order to put fxs on them that you can use as send fxs sparing processing power (e.g. if you want to put a reverb on many sounds. Better to have one reverb on the “fake bus” where you route all the sounds that need it instead of putting 50 different instances of the reverb on every single sound).

This trick is almost mandatory for Maschine+ too

Ok. I think I got you…

Let’s say you have an automation like this

Then you rewrite first 2 bars and you end up with something like this:

What you want is to avoid this “jump” between the 2 different values. Correct?

Well…if this is the case, it’s up to you to make a smooth transition (with the hw knob or by editing later). Automation can’t also read an user’s mind. For what it knows, this “jump” could be exactly the behavior you are looking for
