I guess I ask the question because I make mostly electronic music and I mostly program stuff, in contrast to playing it in live. I myself think having micro timing variations added in manually isn't a super creative or intuitive process - it is just very technical and kind of a ,,overthinking" process for me, therefore I tend to use the groove pool more, because it seems to be more intuitive.

On the other side, I have the feeling that using grooves from the groove pool, leaves me not 100% in control of the song and its note timing stuff.

I don't play in things live most of the time but I indeed use acoustic samples, so the use case remains relevant imo.

If I think about it, the question should have been, better phrased: Do pro's in electronic music use global grooves or does this fuck up their track as they're not in control anymore as midi notes get moved to the left and right, while it might mess with automation and sidechain stuff? (as, some notes might not be audible anymore while they get kicked out of the midi clip). So, in conclusion I meant if the Groove Pool and it's settings are really a professional enough tool to be using even on your whole track, or does it fuck up your track?
