Maschine get together?

SteveDon

Alright lads, just throwing an idea out to see if there is any interest.

Basically Im thinking of hosting a bit of a maschine lecture of sorts.

The idea would be have me with a projector and all my gear going through some tips and techniques i use to make my tracks. If there was enough interest in it and it was successful enough Id probably focus in on different stuff each week, for example have one week focusing on bass lines one for perc etc. It would be mainly geared towards house and techno, but if there is enough demand for it id go over some techniques for garage/bass music aswell.

So just kinda wondering if i could get the numbers down to make it worth while. It would be totally free and would probably take place in my mates pub in town on some weekday evening.

I know that there isnt too many people that use the maschine so thats why im wondering. Id say there would also be value in people attending that dont use the maschine as I would be covering a lot of general stuff that could be applied to any daw.

So guys what do you reckon?

I thought the Maschine was just a controller/sampler? How can you make music with it?

SteveDon

Its much more than that

Its pretty much a daw these days as it can host 3rd party vsts.

This is the kinda stuff i make using it exclusively

I dont use Maschine but still very interested in attending if that'd be ok? After a number of years Ive managed to convince myself my current setup and gear is working just fine for me and I can live without Maschine....I could see this changing rapidly with something like this

Of course everyone is welcome, maschine or not!

I mean alot of the stuff ill be going over will easily be able to be applied to other DAWs.

What kinda stuff would you like to see me cover?

Id be happy enough with Maschine. Im an Ableton guy myself and have a pretty solid knowledge of most sides of it. Im always looking for new ways to improving my workflow and get ideas down so Id just be happy to get a fuller understanding of Maschine and see where (notice Im not saying "if", haha I knew this would happen) Maschine could fit into my workflow.

Of course, everyone is welcome. I understand that not alot of people own a maschine at the moment.

I don't know......You could show in what way it's more like an instrument than a DAW.

Say. build a track quickly with it. Tap in the rhythms....get something interesting going.

Show it's intuitiveness.

Would be interested to kind of reenergise my interest in it, I just find that it doesn't really suit my workflow, more comfortable using FL when doing stuff.

I think there's an option in quicktime player to do it, if you have that.

I'd love this as I'm finding it pretty difficult to finish anything properly on Maschine. I understand I should probably get used to Ableton Live for actually composing tracks, but I really struggle with it after using FL Studio for so long.

SteveDon

Just a quick update on this, this will go ahead, just waiting to get the money together to upgrade my laptop.

4gs of ram just does cut it for the maschine anymore..
