What can Geist do what I can't do...

As much as I love Geist, I haven't touched it since getting into Ableton and Push. Geist has a great workflow, but locked up inside a single plugin. With Live, its all just seamlessly integrated into the DAW itself- the sampling, warping, slicing, mapping to pads, sequencing, mixing down to new clips... even navigating sound sets with more than 16 pads is way easier natively in Live. I feel guilty that I haven't used Geist that much, but I'm sure I'll get back to it eventually.
Incomplete list of my gear: 1/8" audio input jack.

Geist is a really good plugin. I use it in Live and i created my personal "drum machine" with multiple outputs, triggered by a midi track on channel 11. It's working fine but a little bit confusing when you want to automate things. IMHO.
I prefer to use Kontakt multi-instruments. Every instrument is triggered by an external instrument track. So i have a multi-in/multi-out configuration and can easily automate, create different patterns and apply effects on every instruments. (hope is clear).
I think it's a question of taste but with all the promos you can find actually, Geist is certainly not a bad choice.

at this price it becomes really easy to justify. i paid 80 dollars without any interest in the sequencing engine, nor really the library. the sampling/resampling workflow was worth that price. i wasn't so interested in the library, though i know some folks really rate it. at this price, it could even be worth it just for the sounds and kits

Yeah it's C/R. Some people hate that but it works fine for me and hasn't caused any problems.ghettosynth wrote:I don't know, but that would make sense as the beat creating workflow is a key feature.

So I have both Geist and Live 9 Suite, and I love using Geist for my drums! Yes, Life's drum racks can go far deeper, but I find I am far more productive using Geist. It also shares a lot of DNA with dcam Synth Squad and as such, I feel like it adds that intangible something to my samples.
If you really want a cool combo: fill up all the engines with samples, fill the pattern banks up on each engine, snapshot some scenes, and then sequence said scenes/patterns via a midi keyboard in Live! Massive potential for complex sequencing!

I just wish Geist's UI was a little larger. It's quite small on high-res monitors.

I'm not really a "slicer" but I'm kinda feeling it with geist vs live.
I haven't gotten through the manual yet, is there no way to drag/drop a loop in and have it slice? Or only through the browser?

This is great for 50 bucks. Auto-slice is nice. Now for another 50 percent xpansion sale so I can pick up the cinematic drum thingy.
And then there's utonic and I'm probably done. .

So far I've found one thing that Geist CANNOT do: give me more money...
