Then i usually practice that arrangement live until I can perform it in one take, and then ill go and do that take. then ill go back through what I have recorded and fine tune that till I have an arrangement that I like. Once ive got a decent loop of stuff setup on push and maschine ill map a few essential controls out to another midi controller (I happen to use a uc33e) and then just hit record and jam / dub out the material for a while. If I do then ill just put a different pattern or scene into maschine and change it that way. I tried converting to drum racks but it doesnt really make much sense for me, ive been using maschine for drums for about 5 years so I know it inside out, and because I make dubby / stripped back techno I dont really ever need to fundamentally change up my drum patterns. Then I have push reserved pretty much exclusively for non rhythmical elements. It takes about 30 seconds to set a new one up. If I end up using more that 8 pads or new groups or whatever I just make new audio channels for them.
I do all my drum programming etc in maschine, but this way when it comes to recording and mix down ive got the flexibility of having all my drums on seperate channels. I have pads 2 to 8 of maschine set up to send to these channels by default (all of this is saved in my ableton template). I have the vst on 1 channel, and then 7 audio channels set up to receive audio from channels 2 - 8 of maschine respectively. I use maschine almost exclusively for drums / sampling, so I have it setup as such. I've just about found a workflow / way of using them together that works for me - hopefully this will help you out in someway.
Ive had maschine for ages and got push about 5 months ago.
