Reply to Is a Maschine a good candidate for a Madeon - Pop Culture style mashup?

Let me first say, I'm not a massive fan of Ableton Live. I've been using Cubase since around 1997 so I'm much happier with that.

I really want to have a go at doing mashups of my favourite dnb/jungle tunes in much the same way as Madeon does in his Pop Culture video. I need a solution that allows me to easily sample loops and sounds from my existing dnb/jungle/sample collection and trigger them via hardware.

Maschine appeals to me because the software looks straightforward, is well integrated with the hardware and can be used as a plugin in Cubase for more advanced editing if need be.

Thoughts? Am I going to regret not persevering with Ableton Live?
