A big mac-esque sauce, onions, lettuce, pickles and cheese.

Hot Saturday, tired and hungry. Diced yellow onions underneath the cheese. Buns are toasted for a moment only. Salt and pepper on the beef. Pickles, mustard, ketchup. Mozzarella cheese this time, not sure why.

A triple stack layered with chopped green long hot chillies and sliced Vidalia onions, American cheddar blend, prepared mustard, and a flat bun lol

Burgers are the most standardized thing we have going for us, but it’s the unique, relentless, and endless amount of variation and creativity one can bring to the table or plate, or in tinfoil, parchment, and perhaps a woodblock.

Sharing this burger moment with my little one 🤘, Happy Father’s Day.

About a week and more back into Maschine, and I just can’t get enough.

I can truly understand the complaints, the requests, and the wish list that many of you have for the software. However, with what’s available right now on the market, if you own a powerful computer— whether it be a Mac or Windows. The Maschine is by far the greatest piece of gear available out of everything after all these years.

I say this because I put myself through it, tried and tested a lot of things, but there is nothing that allows you to express who you are like Maschine does.

Just my honest opinion.

Does anyone else feel like Maschine is the best thing for them?

Earlier with my post there was excitement for LUNA, the new DAW breaking ground and UA developing their own ecosystem, which is fair and the right thing to do - No haste or negative torture towards them.

After having fun recording into LUNA, I came to realize that automation does not have curve points, it's click and drag or automation to be written in, which was a bummer, because with LUNA being very young and under developed at this stage it brings awareness towards how much more time it may need to be fully versatile.

It sounds great and as I said before, I got about 80% completed in Maschine directly without recording out, printing etc, as we all know resampling works wonders.

So, all be it, heading back over to Logic as my main DAW of choice, it just does what it needs to do and having the iPad handy, I can touch fader and have the automations work wonders. When composing, automation is significantly important and I'm realizing that LUNA is geared towards recording live, which I love and tested it out as well. Sound's really good.

Someone said earlier how they use it to mix and master, which makes all the sense in the world.

Has anyone completed most of their projects in Maschine and then went into a DAW, if so, which DAW? Or do you complete everything inside Maschine? Including mixing and mastering?

Curious to hear and know.

Wife was in need of comfort, especially now in postpartum after having the newborn recently.

Some know and some don’t - Previously I had a moment or perhaps a crisis, if that’s alright to say? Lol

Stepped away for a few months from the Maschine and decided to mangle myself up to what’s been new, popular, and different. This included DAWs as well, and also utilizing the brand-new MPC Live 3 - Which was great but not for me.

With many things tried and tested, nothing really gave me an ounce of inspiration or even a workflow that made sense to me.

After all that time spent internalizing a debate and a solution, it was time to go back home. To a place that knew and understood me.

There’s something magical and wonderful about the Maschine workflow, integration, and the entire ecosystem it’s built on. With Logic as the backbone support, it’s been a breeze, welcoming, and just more awe-inspiring as to how many things that are out there and nothing comes close to what they’ve achieved here with the Maschine. IMO.

Anyone else feel this way? Or tried something else but something kept bringing them back to Maschine?

To be honest, I had massive hesitation over this; basically, couldn’t let go of the pad workflow, coming from Maschine for the past 15+ years and letting go was tougher than my exes.

Therefore, I decided to go all iPad, like Madlib, it’s doable with Koala, AUM and an interface then straight into Logic for further arranging, producing - Then off to mixing and mastering.

I’m nervous, because even after using the Live 2 and One+, they felt underpowered and non-connective for other sound modules. With the USB C connectivity directly into the Mac, I could utilize logic efficiently with the tracks going in and also out, via audio or midi (Using KK for a channel to trigger drums or even Noire for my piano)

Again, got 31 days for a full refund, if needed.

Saw many things online, read a lot and I hope this can replace my Maschine flow into the MPC flow. Also got a NI KK M32 for keys.

Really hope this new venture into the MPC brings out the better part of my creativity, I’ve been rusty for a bit.

🤘

The new updates bring a wealth of ease/workflow additions for Komplete keyboard owners, however, nothing outstanding in the 3.5 update except a new UI design for the sampler in mixer view.
