Does anyone produce Techno with Maschine

I was wondering if anyone would share their workflow or have any ideas? I use maschine and master in Logic. But do your guys arrange your beats in maschine or logic? Peace guys

I do.. kinda, purists would disagree though (but they hardly make it out the house, so who cares?)
I don't use an outside DAW, production and mixing is all in Maschine. Reaktor + Battery + Maschine = power
I rough out some sounds that set an atmosphere and mood and use the drumsynths or Battery to get a basic 4/4 rhythm going.. from there it's a matter of expanding, building variations.. finding cool modulations, etc.. .and then throwing most of it away again.

Making great techno, IMO is more about having the right mindset. Keeping it minimal, rough and direct..do new things. If you get to the heart of it, Techno is really soul music.

''These days any kid can buy a cheap sequencer and a cheap keyboard and make a track. It's really easy to lay down a drum track, a little bassline and some shallow chord line or whatever. So many kids know how to start a track but they don't know how to finish it, how to make it just right so that it's got every element but it's not overbearing. They don't care about the integrity of the business, or where they're coming from mentally. All they care about is putting out a record so that they can make some money. They don't see the terminal damage that the injection of a garbage track is going to do to society. What that does in the long run is degrade the whole concept.'' - Derrick May 1990
