Maschine Thoughts
Maschine Thoughts Posted on: 05.12.2011 by Lanette Heinitz Hi All!I purchased a 2nd hand Maschine recently because I've been wanting to get into the producing scene for a while now and thought this would be a good route. So far I'm happy with it. I've tried messing with ableton and fruityloops in the past but I was so confused and lost and never really got the hang of it but with this maschine + software, i'm starting to feel the potential. Very user-friendly and easy for noobs like me lol I am concerned about one thing though, so far I'm just sampling/splicing/editing certain loops from tracks that i like and trying to make beats out of them. Will the maschine and software be enough and have what i need in order to produce? or should I give ableton/fruity loops and other software some more patience and another try? I ask because I really want to know the potential of the maschine and its software. I know other softwares like ableton are krazy but it seems like a bitch to learn lol I kno I've been posting a lot of noob threads lately and apologize! thx~! :] | |

| Gerard Cowin 10.12.2011 | IF you are starting with Maschine, than stick with Maschine and learn it inside out before you move on to another application (this could take a year, it could take 6 months - all depending on your skill level and starting point, don't rush it). |

| Monserrate Rupnow 07.12.2011 | Just got Mschine myself, still working through the manual though. It can definitely do full on songs but it IS a very specific kind of workflow to do so. Capable, but more time consuming compared to some other methods.m I plan on spending a lot more time with it before I draw any conclusions though. |
| Nick Kingsley 07.12.2011 | I would stick with maschine for a while, you'll know when you want more. Learn maschine inside and out and go as far as you can with it. Once you want to structure full songs, do a bit of tweaking with effects/filters/eqs whatever, I find recording into ableton as a vst to be a better workflow. I like being able to see the full song laid out on one screen. |
| Mechelle Duncil 07.12.2011 | I believe that you may will be able to produce with maschine as a standalone software. It has all the functions needed to do so. The thing is that as your skills improve you may be getting into more complex production and maybe want to use more plugins and effects. Plus having a nice arregment view as the one on ableton or other software helps a lot on the mixing stage. As mentioned before probably you will end up importing stems to another software. The best combination I have found right now in order to have the best of both Maschine and ableton for production, is to setup every group of mashine routed to a audio track on ableton. That way I open Maschine as a VST and then I route each group or sound to an individual track, so I can add automation plus all Abletons features are available. This video shows a good example on how to combine Maschine with Ableton and get the best of both. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmU6Y...ure=plpp_video |
