Yes I make separate maps and an overall one. Atlas was originally meant to be a sample browser - the sequencer was more the add on.How are you using maps exactly, if I may ask? Do you mean separate maps, so you can quickly generate kits for a hip hop track, for a house track or whatever? Or are you using maps to actually find, select and load samples?Yes, the map. It was first and then XO. If you don’t use the maps I don’t understand why you’d use the software.
Maybe I’ve missed something, but I’ve never found the latter particularly effective. Separate maps are far more useful to me, but not essential, I think — I simply don’t have that many samples (I don’t like) on my drive. This means I can quickly generate a great kit in Live 12 without having to open a third party plugin first, and everything is integrated and ready to go.
Thats hard to beat, imho, and so far my needs are all met by Live 12. But then again, I don’t have hundreds of gigabytes worth of snares on my drive, so I’ll probably survive without custom maps. But I’m still testing, so who knows.
I make maps for vintage drums or synthwave drums or live drums or 808 drums or any map I might find useful as a means to help browse for drum samples.
Browsing is different than randomly selecting. Both have their place. But if you never browse then you probably don’t need Atlas or XO.
