Is the Maschine good for beginners?
Posted on: 12.05.2010 by Susann Blachford
Hi everyone,

Is the NI Maschine any good for someone beginning music production? It seems like a good product to invest in...and the updates coming out can only make it better right?

On top of that its a top notch controller for Traktor too i hear!

I believe I may just ask for a refund
He must've purchased an "Academic" version... Same thing as the retail Maschine but you can only register once meaning you can't transfer your registration to someone else

Hardware and software are a package.

The software can be used without the hardware but the hardware has to be Registered for the software to work.

Allmost everything you need to know to start making first loops and stuff ist also written directly onto the controller. Much easier to use than my MPC-60 or SP12 back then and I've ever been a big fan of sofware too. The Maschine perfectly fits the gap between classic grooveboxes/samplers and software.
And NI seems to listen to the customers and the community . Really nice updates untill now.
I agree with all of that.
I came into production from a long absence (pretty much starting from scratch again). Its a great way to start and its certainly not an entry level piece of kit.
It will expand with your experience.

13.05.2010		Just got a full version second hand for $430

I believe I got a good deal...

13.05.2010		I'm using it for Dubstep, Bmore, Fidget and classic HipHop beats.
It's not what kind of gear you use, it's about your ideas and what you make of it.

I even tried out Playstation music on PS1 or the musicprogramms for Nintendo gameboy back then I don't take tools too serious, for me it's all about having fun and create something by myself.
Susann Blachford
12.05.2010		One more question

What kinda musical styles is Maschine most suited to producing? Or is it well rounded for all styles?
Susann Blachford
11.05.2010		Great! Thanks for the opinions guys.
I believe I will get one as soon as I can get rid of my padKontrol for some cash.
It seems like maschine will be more than i'll need in terms of controlling Traktor.
