Really??? I started off making beats on reason but that shyt felt like a hassle making beats man....copped the maschine and that shyt is

i bought it because my only hang up was sampling...figured out reason 6 handled audio, time stretching, and even chops in kong. so i was good. i would do my maschine beats over in reason anyway for processing ...

now 7 has recycle in it

Reasons SSL mixer is pure piff.

damn I feel like a real novice asking this question....how do you make a live band sounding drum roll on the maschine?

maschine would b perfect if NI gave a shyt about integrating it with DAW's

its like using two different workstations at a time, if i could atleast use it as a normal midi controller in ableton, then it would b magic

Why can't you use it in Live? Does the template not work correctly?

Why can't you use it in Live? Does the template not work correctly?

the templates only allow you to activate clips and scenes, thats honestly the only thing it really does

you can apparently assign parameters to the knobs and automate with them, but idk how that works and the whole integration is very complicated, it involves some coding to get it to work well.

what would b cool is if they simplified things and actually tried to get them to work together, live works perfectly with the other popular drum machines

all they need to do is let you take sounds directly from ableton and use them in maschine, like actually being able to process a audio clip from ableton in maschine using effects. If you could load plugins in their entirety and apply them to maschine sounds or groups, that would b sick (you can do this now but its unnecessarily complicated and it isnt a function built into maschine). And i hate how you cant drag samples into maschine or even load them, you gotta convert them to wav and load them as an entire song, or cut them up in another program then import them to maschine. Most importantly though, if you could turn maschine patterns into audio clips in ableton, so you could actually arrange maschine patterns with your song patterns, then it would actually make sense to use maschine and ableton together. I mean maschine is still a valuable and useable thing in ableton, it just takes a lot of creativity to get it to work how you want to.

This dude came through and crushed the buildings.

It might be time for PUSH by Akai.

Hey people, thought I'd drop this here. Keen to hear any feedback or idea you have.

MEGAMaschine is my Maschine template for Ableton Live. It has been designed to give you hands on control for the functions that will facilitate a good workflow while you’re jamming out your tunes. It leaves out many of the functions of other templates so that you focus only on what matters most while you’re composing.




Features

• All features are on just 2 pages, no endless menu-diving
• 8 Macro knobs to control any Ableton Live rack, automatically mapped using Live’s IMap feature
• All pads are reserved for MIDI notes, and group buttons for changing octaves, no fancy hidden features on pads
• Buttons to navigate devices/racks to assign Macro knobs
• 8 buttons mapped to locators in the Live project for easy navigation
• Buttons to control the parameters of the currently selected track, e.g. Arm, Mute, Solo, Volume, Pan
• Easily change the currently selected track with the ‘Swing’ knob
• A Sends page for the 8 knobs to control Sends A – H
• Transport controls including Play/Pause, Play/Restart, Record, Overdub, Scrub Left/Right
• Handy buttons for Undo, and to switch between Sequencer and Arrangement views, and to bring up the Maschine plugin window
• Buttons to navigate and fire/stop the currently selected Scene or Pattern

Maschine 2.0 in 2 days. All the beta users said the new multi core is great, the CPU meter barely moves.

Upping

 

[KillSpray]

Yeah man, I can jump in with a little review of 2.0.

Basically multi-core support changed the game with this. Before multi-core, I actually had to get rid of Maschine because it always seemed that once I got something going that I liked, I always was running out of CPU, then I'd have to dump into another DAW. Inspiration killer all day. Now, I'm literally doing everything in Maschine. Before multi-core, I never even bothered with the arranger, because I was running out of CPU before I even got to arranging. With multi-core, I actually learned the arranger, audio routing, and I'm doing my full mix in Maschine. They added a mixer which helps with that. Now I'm running several plugins, I got waves silver, and Komplete 9, at least 20+ plugins per project, and the CPU is barely budging.

That alone makes all the difference in the world. The software is running like a dream, and I always loved the hardware. And I had Push for like 3 months, and even though Push was ok, I didn't like the pads and the hardware software integration was no where near Maschine. Right now, I can get pretty far into a beat without touching the mouse at all in Maschine if I want.

I don't think I'm an easy customer to please, but NI seems like they finally nailed this, I'm about to sell my Ableton License, this is all I need now.

@Kaydigi hey breh do you know how to get nexus on the maschine? might be a noob question
