Hello Jeremy 👋

OMG it's "Rer Merns Rerording!"

Did u buy the m+?

My sentiments

Thanks very much both for the comment and your support - totally my pleasure!

Thanks - much appreciated!

@Catholic Truth Sure, but the Maschine+ is a portable device. It's much more fair to compare it to the MPC One or Live/Live II in terms of hardware specs. The MPC X hardware is definitely in it's own class.

@Catholic Truth Nope! The Casio XW-PD1 TrackFormer was a standalone sampler/groovebox with a speaker made back in 2015.... It did suck, but it's "truly standalone" as well.

If I was a Maschine user it wouldn't make much sense to me to spend money on this. Thats a mk3 and a laptop or mk3 and komplete 13.

At the one's price point, it is obliterating N.I right now tho

@@drizzl8899 imo that's its biggest downfall. pay double the price of an MK3 just to go computerless?

MPC heads shit on everything. Seen people knocking the 4GB of ram but their MPC has half that.

I'm firmly in that camp and not budging at all. Hate touch screens, and anything that involves cell phone integration.

Good point!

Maschine does not have touch screen :/

@@txbrown_ we know, that was the whole point of his comment 😂

Think I'll be going with the Mk3 too ne honest. I already use the S61 Mk2 which was one of the best purchases I ever made so I think I'll stick with NI for my Drum Machine in the new year.

@@Re-bl5sr Me too 👍🏻

Makes so much sense to go for the MK3. When the +PLUS doesn't offer any benefits worth considering. Still needs a power supply haha

Now even more since 2.11 (or 3.2 on the Force) NOTHING beats those beasts right now.

NI can really compete with Akai if there will be a Maschine standalone that has touch screen, expandable internal storage (for SSD), internal speakers, and of course internal battery. I feel that the current Maschine+ is not enough to call it a standalone, because it is the price of two Maschine MK3 or two MPC One.

Imagine

Naaah.. I dont want it.

Your opinión Made me make a good decision , Mpc one easier

@@eddmtz4028 glad I could help.

Give Akai few days ;)

i had this experience when i bought the octatrack. extreme creativity boost!

@@Artek604 make that years

Pc laptops kill creativity i agree

@@boimesa8190 All points to days, actually. 1 in best case scenario :)

The issue is you can get a decent enough laptop + a Maschine MK3 for less money in total. Especially if you don't care about getting a brandnew MK3. Or even better, get a Mikro MK2 used and a great laptop and you'd get even more for your money's worth. Even worse, Maschine+ DOES NOT support all available plug-ins, meaning you're SOL in some cases which is just 100% unacceptable for a $1200-1400 device.

This will be solved with new actulizacions is all ready on the table of ni so no worry's about it I own a Maschine plus and have a MacBook pro i7 and I have Maschine MK3 also but I decided to upgrade because the standalone mode and that is a beast Maschine the materials are really cool and I don't care about touchscreens because if is broken you're fucked up have to pay a lot for the screen plus the installation so I'm very comfortable with the plus i recommended highly and works with link with Traktor and Ableton or logic Pro X flawlessly the link option is great I recommend Maschine Plus over Akai MPC one but far away I had both and I sell the Akai i like the workflow of Ni Maschine and I have integrated the jam with the plus and I use them in control or standalone mode and works great is a perfect combo for the ones that are owners of the Jam or if you find one at good price because they are going up the prices instead of go down NI is making the Homework very good and comes a lot of super actualitations for Maschine and Maschine plus the flagship Equipment of Ni with the Sl49 MK2 that is beautiful controller and keyboard

I’d be offended if I didn’t edit this in 2x

Lifesaver 😂 I’m on my 13th by the way 😢

I can't guarantee it soon, they're going to update it further soon and if I cover it I want to whole thing...

$3k

So Kontakt and Reaktor are compatible?

That is correct!

Yes

Why the MPC is better with outboard gear? Maschine+ and MK3 as well seems to very capable of controlling them.

I don't think it's that simple with regards to sequencing outboard gear-it seems like the main difference there is that the MPC has CV/Gate outs, but you only need that if you have modular gear and no other way to convert MIDI to CV. If you want to multisample outboard gear to create software instruments, the MPC probably wins due to the autosample feature.

@@gffg387 ​ MPC has multi-MIDI (I/O connectivity for up to 32 midi devices thru USB hubs). Maschine + / Mk3 don't.

eek! i'm considering an mpc one and that's exactly what is concerning me, the arranger / song mode is something which is there in every DAW, yet in hardware it seems a rare luxury :-s

stfu the guy did a 54min video

@@drwalka10 brah

@@drwalka10 it's just a question dickwad

Mk3 bundled with komplete 13 sounds like a much better deal if I had that budget available for ni products only but as many of us now often we just want to have the latest hyped toys instead of what really makes sense for us. But I agree. If I didn't have a mpc from the current line allrdy I think I'd grab the live mk2 over the m+. Still I think the Maschine looks great so far but the price seems a bit off

Indeed, it's still quite slow compared to just seeing the parameters on screen

They aren’t unified, for example MPC doesn’t and will never have hype synth

Thanks! Bottom line is both are a ton of fun :)

You gotta be kidding if you think garage band on a iPad can hold up to a MpC. The midi capabilities alone with blow an iPad out of the water. As in controlling other pieces of hardware. I use my MpC to control sounds in my iPad. Not the other way around. Also, the sampling capabilities on a iPad can’t compare to a MpC. . I can keep going down a long list of technicals but it all boils down to the type of sound you like and what you are trying to achieve sonically. Some people also want to get away from sitting in front of a computer/iPad screen all day as they may do it for other areas in the lives. There is a benefit to having less tempting distractions when creating... that is also to be considered. I think you’re in a DAW mindset. Stand alone is another level of creating. .. but it’s not for everyone.

Agree completely. I bought an MPC Live so I could spend some time away from the computer but after losing patience with their poor UI choices I'm going right back to Ableton. Makes me wish AKAI would open source the OS so the community could fix their product.

Why do you need a battery so bad? How often are you away from electricity?

Heathcliff Some producers like to create certain tasks away from the computer. Like on a sofa, in bed, in a park or backyard. Some perform live at a show. The battery is very handy for those that like to create in different environments that can affect their sound and creativity.

If you started on software, believe me when I tell you, no piece of hardware will ever compete. You might wait for ever tbh. The reason people buy these machines is for the fact they have limitations and for the tactile control. That's it. I have an MPC One and while I love it, I realize it will never compete with Logic plus a bunch of plugins. Just understand the purpose of these. Don't expect the end all be all because it may never come. We already have it in our computer..

Rich XN Trick If the CPU doesn’t want you to make a song, you face a tricky one

my lack of music skills stops me from making a song

I don't know. I wrote a progressive melodic power metal song in Logic Pro in about 3 days. I spent about a month with the Maschine+ and haven't been able to achieve the same results yet, plus I run out CPU power really quickly on it. It's been fine for electronic music, but I haven't had much luck getting the results I want for my metal stuff.

@@DocHollidayGames That's interesting you run out CPU for metal music. I would of thought EDM would be more CPU intensive due to the synths, where metal music you would be doing more recordings of guitars etc?? Do you mind sharing what is pushing the unit to its limit?

@@ktech4246 If he's using a synth for the guitar sounds, that might explain it.

Thanks and yes it should work. Feel free to email me some good ones - happy to try ;)

I sold mine because of it. Feels like working on a a cheap android tablet. No Hardware magic at all for me.

I own a Maschine Plus and I can tell you that with the new actulizacion is possible and is coming more cool things to Maschine software and Hardware for the MK3 and the plus and the Sl49 MK2 and the touch screen is nice but I prefer the buttons the knobs that should me exactly what I'm twisting in the moment not like the akai as you can see on this video so it have it's pros but I think is more cons than pros with this screen maybe more in future when they work better but now is when the first smartphones tactile came out I love Maschine Plus and the plug ins the order how is make ir how to find the sound is perfect and it's integrated with the link with Traktor Pro perfectly and Ableton or logic that I use so I recommend you actulizate your Maschine plus and see the updates that you have on the same Maschine and actualízate also from native access everything and you will note the difference Bro 😉💪🏻🤘🏻✌🏻good luck and Maschine is the Maschine don't doubt about it Akai is fine but NI is going up again and very fast and they are making the Homework because they start to eat them other brands but they are the pioneers, enjoy your Maschine plus and if you can get the jam second hand and you will flip out is a kick on the balls for Akai and I was user of Akai but also i don't like the software (Daw) jajaja 😂 Actualize and enjoy the power of Maschine 🤘🏻✌🏻🙋🏼‍♂️

@@josejuanvelardesevil8379 it’s a matter of taste. I use Hardware synths a lot of the time so Akai is where it’s at for me.

I've been trolling the forums where people try hacks on the Akai machines, and apparently in older versions of the firmware there was *accidental* support for external audio interfaces that was then "patched out" in later versions. Because the Akai machines just run Akai software on a Linux OS, it did this automatically with class compliant USB interfaces. If Maschine+ supports this, it may force Akai's hand to support class compliant external audio in the future. If they are forced to do that to compete, then the mpc line and the Force will become insanely powerful. I've come to love having automated effects on the inputs, then running out of the alternate outputs. Having 4 more of each would be so incredible! IMO they also just need a handful of better plugins for most users to choose Akai, but I already compliment the Force with keygroup programs of analog synths and a couple pieces of hardware to expand the capabilities, so it doesn't matter that much to me.

@@inthefade yea, well said and I agree completely. Might open a feature request just to get it on Akai supports radar (if not) and I have been eyeing up the Force for a few months now. That update the beta community has now is going to make the Force super awesome and resisting every day picking up someone's force they are selling like new lol Yes, the plugins are kind of lacking honestly on akai side. I tried the ableton sync and just used some of ableton plug ins for testing and found a lot of them sounded super clean. Like you said not really a big deal when you could build an fx chain off if mpc/mixer/audio interface or use external gear and effects.

@@inthefade Oh 1 thing Akai really needs to fit in on the Force though is the ability to launch Midi clips. It would really be the optimal workflow instead of what is being done in the Beta.
