good review and DOPE beats.!!!
Haha I apologize to all those grammar nazis such as yourself and yes it is a very helpful tool and fun
added more downfalls!? 😛 i joke i really want one haha
Would you reccomend this or a mpc renaissance
damn dude this beat is so raw
Good video man like your style
and respect to the bobbing hahaha its mad seeing people moved by music
MPC FTW
Yo Kero have you tried the new MPC?
Yo i never comment, but i’m gonna say get Live bro. I went to skool learned on Pro Tool, got out and struggled to make beats in pro tools. When i got live n learned it, a whole new world of sound opened up for me. Worth it if ur real bout making beats. I find Maschine works best in live, easy to route sound, n build tarcks up…
One
I TOTALLY AGREE! WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT! 1.8 DELIVERS! AND I HAVE THE NEW MK2 =)
About quantizing, you can select the note you want to quantize, select the note scale (1/8, 1/16) then hit quantize and deselect the notes and just the notes you had selected should have quantized to that note scale
As a producer, you should know how to mix a bit better than your vid man. I can hardly hear you over the shitty music. Otherwise, great video and thanks for sharing.
I know I’m late but, did you finish that beat? It’s sick.
maschine + ableton = 🙂
thanks man apprieciate it
Whoops i meant added more features, sorry!
added more downfalls?
You have to realize a few things about Maschine. You could buy two of them AND an audio interface for the price of one Renaissance from Akai. The Ren was Akai’s resolution for keeping up with the Maschine in the first place. Both units are strapped to a computer, but the steep price tag on the Ren doesn’t do it justice. The Maschine is user friendly, is 64bit, has greater portability, and has amazing sound quality. It’s making Akai rush to the drawing board, and that says something to me.
“Flux capacitors and stuff” hahah. Briljant! 7:35
you can store stuff on it, but it is stored in the maschine software and not the actual maschine. the only downfall to it for me is that it has to be used with a computer…its just a usb plug in. but really it does everything the mpc does and more, only it requires a computer to plug it in to.
I bet those emulators sound NOTHING like the real deal. fuck mashine, fuck maschine
clearly the maschine is the winner, I mean, if it wasn’t for the legendary history of Maschine for over 20 years you wouldn’t even have these plasticy MPC’s….
Question: Everytime I use my Maschine MIkro it keeps stalling with a cracking sound. Should I increase my Ram to 16 gigs or Buy a larger hard drive with 7200 rpms? Since Im on a budget I only have one choice, what would you suggest? Please help. By the way: I have a 2011 Macbook Pro with 4 gigs of ram and I only have 40 gigs of space on my hard drive. Any info would be helpful
Don’t forget the akai mpc renaissance is $1000 more expensive. SO YOU do the math.
can u store samples in the maschine and use without computer? or is it just a midi controller
