just wondering what swing setting you guys are using the most(percentage and value)? im getting sick of 55%and cant seem to get my settings just right.(on snares mainly but any pointers on swinging kicks and hats would be cool too.thanks

just depends on the vibe of the song. if you're oin for that boom bap sound, anywhere from 63+ % would be straight. jus play around with it il it sounds right.

use the note repeat i only use swing on hihats kick and snare pretty much just feel it.
also try turning it off and setting your drums that way then turn it back on for the hi's

i usually have it 50 -54% for rap music 60-67% on techno or house,

but note repeat is nice on the 2kxl.
