Maschine 2 is fire honestly. Not perfect but soooo underrated!!!
I agree!! Maschine 2 is definitely underrated and has so much potential!
I am an ableton user but my maschine mk3 is my primary controller. I use maschine 2 to lay out all my ideas and then I drag everything into ableton and do all my mixing and arranging
Maschine has been under appreciated all around for so long. I would buy the plus over the push any day because you get all of NIs kick ass plugins
Totally!!! Maschine is just sooo good at getting your ideas down fast. Especially for loop based music there is really nothing like it!!!
I agree maschine is criminally underrated honestly!
This is my favourite video you’ve put out yet honestly
Thanks so much!!! it was a lil short so I'm glad you like it!!!
You finally showed the linear mode!! You need to make a full beat 1 vid!!!
ok for sure I will!!!! I'm getting more comfortable in Maschine for sure!!!
Last year, I made the switch from Maschine to Live, here's a little comparison I can give
The pros for Maschine were:
- The great integration of all Native Instruments plugins and hardware. It was seemless, NI really know how to create a good ecosystem.
- Some of the stock plugins work amazingly well. Never have I heard a better stock plugin than the built-in grain delay that Maschine offers.
- Exporting separate tracks is much more intuitive than in Live.
The cons, oh boy:
- It fails as a DAW. It's essentially a glorified loop station. Automating in song mode is just not an option, as the automations you apply, only work on pattern level.
- The extent to which it supports 3rd party plugins, can cause headaches sometimes.
- The sampling you showed can be done quicker in Live, both Live and Maschine have hardware that enables quick slicing.
- The way you record external audio in Maschine is archaic at best.
- Maschine is just extremely poorly optimized, once you start creating a heavily layered project, it's more prone to crashing than actual DAWs.
Maschine is really handy as a plug-in in another DAW, and does indeed allow for quick beat building, but I would never replace a proper DAW with it, because it's too limited.
Totally fair!!! I've never used ableton but the UI looks amazing!!! might have to check it out!!! I've always been curious!!! You're totally right tho, Maschine needs to update for sure!!!
A really helpful video. Nice one.
Man wow, you just made my progress with Maschine so much easier. I use a Mikro mk3. Do you know if I can do what you did with the slicing as far as setting slices with the mikro? Live your videos man. Keep it up. You got a fan for sure.
Thanks so much!!! Keep going with maschine!!! It made my workflow so much better!!
Are you using logic pro to record because you have a dynamic mic? If so I found a way to stream the audio instantly from logic to maschine so that you can record directly in maschine
Just because I find it easier in general. But if there’s a better way in maschine I’m definitely open to it!!
I used Maschine until its encoder stared to send random signals (the resisatnce dropped after a few month
). The negative thing about Maschien is that it doent compensate plugin latencies, so anything needs mto be resampled to make things tight or use plugins without latencies. Another negative thing of Maschine is that its GUI is calculated on teh CPU.
Playing those slices is really cool! Maybe next you can show the full process after you have your loops. Like if you were to add all the patterns like you showed, then what? Export to another daw for vocals?
Yeah I do vocals in logic!!! Yeah I’ll show my full process in another vid!!
I go between both. I do find that when I have my NI keyboard and the Maschine MK 2 connected to my Mac at the same time. The Maschine DAW at times freezes. But yea. It’s even possible to use Maschine the DAW within Logic as well although it has some limitations. Crazy stuff lol.
Keep making these cool tutorials. 😎👍🏽
Yeah that's totally fair!!!! My daw crashes a lot too, and Maschine is definitely not without flaws. I'm really hoping they make an update this year. Thanks so much for the encouraging words!!! I'll keep making vids for sure!!!
@@BlackBeltTitus Dude. I put out an instrumental album… if you got time bro. 😎

@FinelyAgedGenX1969 good info. 👍🏼
@FinelyAgedGenX1969 yes it is all me. 😎👍🏽. Let me know what you think. 🤔
Maschine Software 3.0 .MP3 support .SF2 support audio tracks unlimited, stem separation.
What NI should do is bring back their whole line of Maschine products like they had in the past this is why Akai is winning or is ahead of the game.
Maschine studio Plus give it dual flip up touch screens (nice to have that option but still have all the buttons as usual) where you can flip up the screens individually or one long screen that flips up like on their S series controllers, 8 outs 2 xlr combo inputs with 48v phantom power for condenser mics 4 1/4 inch inputs, phono inputs, CV outs 8. Stem separation, full intergration of certain Komplete and Isotope instruments, with sound design capabilities, all the things the current Maschine has, MP3 support .SF2 support, 10 audio tracks, vocal suite, internal HDD front SD card slot, 4 midi puts 2 midi inputs, 16gb Ram.
Maschine Plus MK2 1XLR combo mic input, phono in, put 4 1/4 out puts, 2 1/4 inputs, HDD, Battery option, 8 audio tracks, 8GB Ram. 4CV gate outs , Flip up screen touch. 2midi ins 2midi outs, .MP3 .SF2
Maschine MK4 every output, and input of the Maschine Plus MK 2 1XLR combo mic input phono input 4CV gate outs, Unlimited audio tracks because it tethered to computer. SD card slot
Maschine Mikro plus 2ins 2outs, mic input, 1 midi in 1 midi out, phono input, SD card slot (Just a thought) or just regular mikro with 2ins 2outs 1mic input phono input.
Maschine Jam Plus Truely a live stand alone live performance instrument 2 XLR mic inputs 48v phantom power, 4 1/4 inputs 4 1/4 outputs HDD, Battery option, 8 audio tracks, 8gb Ram, phono input, cross fader that actually let you scratch incoming audio .wav .mp3 file. oh yes don't forget the screens.

Totally agree!!!
Where can I get maschine daw?
On the native instruments website!! It also comes with maschine products!!! They have tutorials on how to install it
Its a steep learming curve but its a beast...
Totally agree!! Definitely worth learning! The workflow on maschine is insane
If you used “scenes” you could have built that song even faster
Yeah fair 😂
Crazy
Thanks I appreciate it!!
Maschine 2 is awesome, but it looks a bit too awesome when you lay things down perfectly in one shot. You should show as well how much it sucks when you want to correct mistakes or move things around. In general I agree though. It's a nice piece of software.
That’s fair, and a good critique!! But yes the software is great!
Maschine 2.0 really is the quickest way to go from 'no track' to 'finished track'. So easy.
It’s so true!! Fastest way to get ideas down for sure!!! I love how looped based it is
Wrong! Can’t rec a live Jam Session
No! Just no!
A little suggestion to have a look at Maschine workflow. The way you use it is a little bit strange. There are many things you can do differently from how you do it (see using Scenes, patterns instead of clips…and others). Oh…and to slice a sample, you don’t need to hit record.
That said, maybe you use it like this because it fits better to you…but my impression is that you stocked to the first things you learned without checking deeper
No I started on logic and have only recently started using maschine!!! I appreciate your suggestions tho and I am getting better slowly but surely 😂 thanks for the input tho!!! I’ve also used FL and Abelton jsyk!!!
@@BlackBeltTitus yes, I was referring just to the first things you learned in Maschine
Maschine is my sketchbook for 4 years as soon as I want to deal with samples, and montait instruments. But I always make the finish for transitions, FX, mix and mastering in Studio one. Thanks for your video anyway 👍
Appreciate it!!! Yeah studio one was my original Daw before transferring to logic than finally maschine 2!!glad to hear you liked the vid!!!
Maschine is capable of far more than making loops and beats. The 'totally useless as s daw'-comments here are a bit unfair I think. Maschine does do things differently than other daws. Song automation, for instance, can be done via clips.
For me, Maschine is the perfect daw for making / composing music (indiei'sch pop/rock/singer-songwriter stuff that is, for me). It is so immiment and inspirational. I also record vocals anf guitars with it, no problem. Use the groups as busses. Gate mode for audiotracks is awesome in finding out what works in a song / melody.
For final mixing and mastering, i"d export to Studio One 6, with Softube Console 1.
The tools we have today, amazing! Something's only useless when you make no use of it.
It’s true!! While there are some drawbacks to it as a DAW. Nothing sparks my creativity more than maschine!!! Loved this comment!!!
Great review and explanation! (I left Logic too, tried Waveform Traction, then Maschine Micro and now landed on SeratoStudio as it works like a Maschine but without a hardware just on my laptop, and adding a DJ controller gives me the Maschine hardware feel for when I want it.) ..... you should make a video answer my 5 reasons why I left Maschine: ruclips.net/video/TQmkP8zMRzM/видео.html
Thanks for sharing!!! Definitely will consider it!!!
I prefer to start in Maschine then export to FL To Arrange
Totally fair!! Maschine makes that process so easy as well!
I could never use Maschine. It is a static Tempo/Meter Change device. If you are into beats tho - it's cool. But not meant for serious composition. It has zero ability to do tempo & meter changes within a composition. Sorry buts that a no for me.
My Maschine is collecting dust.
I thought that it would be useful. After I thoroughly went through it , i noticed that it is not faster at beat-making than my DAW: Q-Base. So, i just work with Q-Base bc I can manipulate my Tempos & Time Signatures and naturally adjust loops/samples w/time stretching on the fly.
Maschine does have great expansions. But I'm a Composer, & I don't like to write 'Static-Tempo' music.
Yeah it really depends on your preferences. For me, I love loop based be eat making. But I know cube base is super clutch for tempo, switches, and stuff. If you say you’re a composer, then yes, machine probably wouldn’t suit all your needs but for my purposes it definitely does the job!!!
@@BlackBeltTitus it is great for what you use it for. Excellent for Beat-Makers & the likes. No Doubt abt it !!
I've composed a few songs on it just to fully learn it's sequencing abilities. And yes, It is quite capable of making hits in today's climate. Also, I'm aware of the various urban-producers that do absolute wonders with this device.👍🏻
Good Luck in your musical endeavors 👍🏻
All The Best !!
To me, finishing stuff in Maschine is a chore compared to working in Ableton Live. Lots of things that don't work as you'd expect it from experience with other DAWs, so many basic features are still missing 15 years after v1.0 and development is basically dead with 1 or 2 new features every 5 years or so (if any). Still regret buying this thing.
If you want a real DAW try live and if you need a controller, get yourself a Push as well.
Seems cool for writing ideas and doing loop based stuff, but this is no where near an actual DAW. If you're making complex genres this thing would be totally useless except for maybe writing the drums.
Yeah that’s a fair point!! Good as a loop station tho. Paired with another DAW it’s amazing!!!
Naw you taking crazy I just got the mpc one I'm making full beats of different genres standalone you don't need a daw I been using fl studio since I was 11 years old hardware better some people just don't have the real musical knowledge 🤷🏿♂️
you cant beat the drum looping live with their effects and the depth of projects you can make for live productions
Grammy winning songs have been made on less@@BlackBeltTitus
Maschine is not a DAW. It is not advertised as a DAW by Native Instruments. It has never been advertised as a DAW. That being said, it is an amazing hardware and software application to compose beats and song ideas with. But you will absolutely need a DAW to finish a song with vocals and all that.
It’s true! I jump around from maschine to logic. But as far as beat making goes I don’t have much of an issue using the maschine software
Strictly speaking, Maschine 2 IS a DAW - they just don’t call it one.
The combination of hardware and software is merely redefining what used to be hardware based - desks, outboard - to software i.e plugins to what is now a combination of both which you can also use standalone.
Pro Tools Intro (for example) is classed as a DAW and I’m pretty sure Maschine 2 can everything it can do and more…. 🤔
Just slave maschine thru logic.. Best of both worlds…
It’s true. I’d love to just have it integrated tho!!!!
