There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Both the Mikro and MK2 feel exceptionally well-made and sturdy. The knobs are smooth and the button click perfectly. The program is so easy to jump into because of the drum machine and layout as opposed to just downloading any other DAW without hardware and it just makes you feel as if you can navigate and begin producing music with ease. Its got a great set of sounds to start with but eventually you will want to invest in the Komplete Ultimate package later. For myself, hours passed by in minutes just having fun with the program while learning. I honestly believe that right off the bat it will help someone be able to create unique and gratifying music which they are actually trying to make as opposed to learning the ins and outs of another program which may take awhile to be satisfied with results..
I also want to mention that this program worked flawlessly with my Casio Privia digital piano and I highly recommend a decent digital piano or keyboard if you are serious about beginning music production. It makes the experience a lot smoother.
please comment and let me know if there are any questions I can ask for you
it was quite of a pain to loosen up the credit card to pay the requested price, specially as N.I. spends a bunch in advertising, which
considerably elevates the price of the goods. (I didn't even followed an ad).
The reason I decided to make the purchase is because in one of the electronic music forums, reading one users reply to a
chain, it was mentioned that this was more intuitive (I think he did took the word from the ads, darn!). And that is what I was looking for,
I bought Cubase a bit more than a year ago, but for amateur users these programs can represent a really steep learning curve,
there is no constant flow and that can lead to frustration, when you plug in your midi devices, anything can happen, some devices
may work flawlessly, some others may be a real pain in the butt. (and to identify the cause?) Software says "refer to the manufacturer", manufacturer
says "refer to your DAW manual"... So so so "big F" annoying!! Having zero audio background the configuration or recognition can be by itself a pain in the arse. Problem and pain gone with Maschine!
The sequencer is a bit different to learn, it has it's learning curve, but with a bit of logic thinking, you can sort it on your own. Yet I can see some
users wishing a better handling of the loops (or scenes) as referred by N.I.
I spent hundreds trying to find the right controller and stuff for Cubase, Maschine cut corners on that big time, as it has it's own
software with a nice hardware integration which also has it's own screens. Thus, some tasks got really simplified so you can get hands on faster.
Another advantage which I am sure
has been mentioned is that it works as standalone or even as a plugin in any big DAW, except that this plug in provides you with
much more versatility and better feeling, changed for good the mouse clicks for a "delay" effect or so, the hands on feature really made the process more enjoyable.
Being an audio aficionado and not a professional producer I finally found one device in which I can rely on logic thinking as opposed as
riddle solving for the same task. This makes me think that pros can use it as a plug in in the main DAW's and aficionados like myself,
can start having fun with sounds with way less pain. I just hope the software keeps being upgraded to make some of the basic functions easier, like the
scene handling. Other than the expense, I am happy camper with my device. The delivery was great too.
