maschine help ?

im a beginner to beat making etc, but i want to purchase maschine, as far as level of beat making, will this suit me, i know theres much to learn, but for getting into it, will the maschine fill my needs ?

all help is appreciated, thanks

 

welcome

the short answer is yes

but maybe you need to give us a few more details, of what computer/software you already own and what kind of music you want to make.

also, you should check out the NI videos on Maschine.

First question is what kind of music do you intend to make? Who are your musical influences? Do you intend to play live?

The answers to these questions will influence how useful Maschine will be to you as opposed to other music software.

 

I "learned" it within 2 days. Im no beginner though and i have a little insight on how sequencers work. But im sure you can handle it too. The videos are great tutorials and go through to manual. There's not that much to learn so it wont fatigue your brain too much

 

sorry for not aquiring more info

at the moment im running a imac 3.06, 4gb ram, 500gb hd

i am into alot of hiphop/rock, strings ( classical stuff ) and piano sounds,

beatmaking is all new to me, at the moment, i currently use traktor pro to mix, and also do some scratching on the side. but as far as beatmaking programs, i own none

i hear reaper is really well, but please guide me, not too sure on what i need

 

as of now, i am currently running a imac 3.06 4g ram, 500gb

i have no knowledge of DAW's or beat making,

 

if you have a Mac, i recommend Logic. it has a great Library including Strings and Pianos.

you could even try Garageband first which is installed already on your Mac.

I would definitely pick up Maschine if I were u. That would be my first choice. Its fairly easy to use n u will love it the moment u load it up. Second I would purchase Komplete 7 as with the release of the 1.6 update for Maschine u will be able to use the bundle within Maschine. As for your DAW of choice it all depends on your workflow and how much u already understand of the recording process. Reason 4 is a good start for beat making from what I've heard, I dnt own it myself though. I was like you too and didnt quite understand the recording process and didn't understand the DAW. I did my research n word of mouth lead me to Pro tools. If u are able to invest, they offer online courses @ berkleemusic.com as well as Promediatraining.com if you want a quick run through of the hands on approach but it comes with a getting started disc that will get you up and running and groove3.com also has video tutorials on pro tools as well as other DAW's but its up to you in the end. Just do some research n you'll find everything you need, good luck....

 

what is komplete 7 ?

 

No offense, but I can't believe your on the Native Instruments web page and don't know what Komplete 7 is? check it out.
