I've been making a looot of 90s-ish drum and bass or whatever you want to call it. My basic workflow is to grab a few drum kits, write a couple of basic sequences, speed everything up and then start playing with the pitch.

My drum kits are full kits, but I separate out my snares, kicks and hats to their own separate channel and than find the kit I want to use on that channel. So I end up with lets say 3 kits assigned to 3 parts.

I know how to then assign the qlinks to the parts I want, then put the automation data at the begining of the sequence so it just jumps to that and I can reassign from there. However, after a few hours, I end up thuroughly confused.

Does anyone have a better route on this?
