Making percussion that comes alive
A special thanks to Saraga for joining us and sharing his approach to transforming a standard drum groove into something next-level using Maschine.
The key takeaway is that while house music relies on a predictable 4/4 pattern, it’s the creative use of the space between kicks, hats, and claps that makes the drum groove come alive. Humanized syncopation and unique drum sound design are what elevate a basic groove to a professional level.
Thanks again to Saraga for discussing how Maschine’s functionality is pivotal to his sound, studio workflow, and Stardust Records.
