Copy & pasting multiple scenes at the same time... Maschine software needs it!

    I think this is what Maschine software needs more than anything else to speed up the "Song" making process in Maschine.

    Copying and pasting 4 bars loops/Scenes over and over for an entire song can get old real quick... actually it makes a lot of users not even attempt to lay things out in a song format(Intro,verse, Chorus, verse ect) because it just simply seems like to much work.

    Here's a gif I just made showing an example of coping and pasting multiple 4 bar loops/Scenes at the same time... basically this is the first part of a song, the first 16 bar verse and the 8 bar Chorus in Studio One 3's Arranger View... all 24 bars = 5 Scenes.. being copied and then pasted together just "twice" to flesh out the basic song layout. Then you can just go in and edit things here and there... but the main part of the song is now laid out. If we could do this in Maschine songs could be made so much faster.

    I love Maschine but the more I learn about Studio One 3... the less I use Maschine. Now after I've made something dope in Maschine I just take the 4 bar or 8 bar loop and drag the audio tracks into Studio One 3 and make the actual song there... it's so much easier(see gif). There's alot of things missing from Maschine's sequencer but If Native Instruments added this one feature to Maschine software it would be huge for song making in Maschine and would keep a lot of users in Maschine longer before they go to their DAW... which I think eventually will lead to them not using Maschine at all.

    Do you guys agree that being able to copy and paste multiple scene's at the same time would be the best new feature Native Instruments could add to Maschine to help the song making process in Maschines software?

    You can do that pretty fast holding scene duplicate and alternating scenes with the proper offset.

    Like 3,7,4,8,5,9,6,10 etc...

    work with 8 bar loops and 16 bar loops

    here is some food for thought.......

    do you want to hear music that is just being copied over and over again threw out the track...................

    When the arrangement starts to get complicated, I just move everything in to Ableton Live. I also use Sonar and Studio One 3. Maschine does seem limited somewhat once your arrangement starts to develop into something a little more sophisticated.

    FWIW, Studio One 3's arranger track is really awesome for arrangements.
