So you have VC running inside Maschine running inside Logic? If this is the case, then the following is the answer: Your studio must look really cool in the dark As I say the ableton le 9 and a controller could probs compete feature wise with maschine.Īnyways just giving you my thoughts with my experience with a similar setup and hope it helps and good luck with whatever you decide. Personally I wouldn't sell the virus if it were a choice between the two. I can't tell you if you should sell your maschine but my advice is uninstall it and use the virus with logic for a while and stick the controller in the cupboard for 3 months and if you don't miss it sell it. I think in 2016 you have over complicated things by buying too much gear, take it a step at a timeĪnd buy stuff if and when you need them. You could always bounce out of a logic session into maschine or run maschine in logic as a plugin along side the virus You have IMO the best sounding synth on the planet so use it as intended in a supported host or at least one with the features you need studio one for example.Īnd don't over complicate things by trying to make things compatible that's aren't fully supported.
You will spend more time trying to justify and working around limitations if you try and produce in maschineīottom line is that you could probs do anything maschine could do in any DAW, but not the other way around.
I had a real eye opener when I realised the free version of live 9 lite I got bundled with my midi keyboard could do pretty much everything maschine could do and more so I grabbed the maschine library of the HD and got rid. I ended up ditching the maschine in the end.ĭon't get me wrong maschine is a very cool inspirational bit of kit for its intended purpose.
I tried this setup a few years back with a mk11 maschine (same software version) and logic. What you have to realise is that this is a limitation of the maschine software, and not in anyway the virus at fault here. And save hours of tedious editing with new drag-and-drop hot zones.Why, in 2016, does this have to be this complicated? Should I toss the maschine? What do others use to make drum sounds? I just spent a sh*t ton on gear and I get very frustrated with trying to hook all this up and get it to work. Use the zone waveform editor to make precise edits to sample start/end and loop ranges with an option to snap to transients or zero crossings. And the reimagined mapping editor adds powerful, time-saving features that speed the creation of complex instruments - including editing commands for automatic mapping, automatic loop finding, and analyzing and splitting samples into zones. An extendable modulation section allows you to add more sources and destinations as needed.
An expanded synthesis section with sound-shaping controls brings more depth and dynamics to your instruments - it features twin filters with parallel and serial routings, and five filters modeled after both analog and modern synths. The new single-window design makes it easier to create and edit sampler instruments while remaining backward compatible with all EXS24 files. We redesigned and improved our most popular plug-in - the EXS24 Sampler - and renamed it Sampler.
