Worth it to buy new Maschine Mikro or just buy old one?
Posted on: 16.09.2012 by Frieda Swoboda
The old one is $200, which is half of the what the new one will be in a few weeks.

My question is, what are the chances that NI will make all new improvements to the software or Traktor ONLY work with the new one.

What do you believe?

let's just shut the community down then, because almost everything discussed on here can be found on google.

Dude, the product is just hitting the street today. How can you or that other guy claim that everything has already been settled and all discussions are over. If anything, people are just getting their hands on it, the discussion over the new hardware is just getting started, not already settled.

But enough of that and back on topic.

I guess my believeing is that a Traktor update will include remix deck support of the new maschine, but maybe not the old one. That's probably the main thing. The price difference is $150, so if the pads are nicer like they claim and it supports the remix deck in the future, it might be worth the difference. But if not I agree with squidot and will probably just get the old one. The micro is $199 at Amazon which is a pretty awesome deal when you consider the F1 is $250.

he's sort of right, though. that was an incredibly douchey response considering crakbot's "crime" was believeing that a community about dj tech is an appropriate place to ask a question about some new dj technology.

I was asking about future updates to Traktor and whether it will only be available to the new hardware. Seems like a valid discussion for a fairly new topic, at least more so than the countless threads about MP3 Vs. Wav or any of the other BS you guys go on and on about for the past several years.

If you have nothing to say, just let the thread go next time. But if you really need to feel elitist telling people to RTFM or Google it, go ahead.

I believe you should google and learn for yourself. All of this has been discussed out there.

19.09.2012		yeah my feelings are hurt because some guy I never met got told to use google by some other guy I never met. I just don't see how your response accomplishes anything useful, unless it's your goal to continually bump threads you believe are pointless to the top of the community . If so, well done sir.
Dewey Melchi
19.09.2012		Yeah. I heard beating a dead horse is a favorite pastime of people. No one wants to read the same thread over and over. I'm not the only person who believes it's stupid and aggravating. His entire question would have been solved with a simple google search. It's on NIs site, it's on blogs, it's all over the place. So again, I understand that you're part of a group that is excessively vulnerable to getting feelings hurt over the internet for not getting the outcome [you] wanted, so I'm not attacking you, just telling you how it is. The information is out there, community s are discussion based, not your personal search engine because you want someone else to answer every little question you have without putting in a little time to do your own research.

17.09.2012		the maschine software is going to be updated for all users of maschine (including massive):
http://www.native-instruments.com/#/.../?content=2125

as far as making future versions of traktor compatible with only the new maschine hardware...i highly doubt it. i'm not sure how you mean by compatible with traktor though. you could use it as a midi controller with no issues (currently excluding full remix deck control) and since the maschine software is going to be the same for all users, it won't make a difference in that regard.

if i were you, i would get an old full sized maschine. that would cost the same amount as the new mikro. unless you believe that pretty buttons, an optional white exterior, and a slightly different layout are worth several hundred extra dollars. proaudiostar even have open boxed ones for $350.
