Maschine workflow question

Why should you?

I'm mature enough to not take offense re hamburglers post, even though at least I'd have good reason for

No. I'm upset about NI treating customers. This is Why I am laying into further spending a Lot of money with NI and research and ask questions instead of impulse commu... erm buying.

 

The workflow for maschine is like a glorified sampler/synth rack combo. You can build your main track drums, synths etc in standalone (or plugin) mode, and then expand on that inside the DAW. For instance - you can do drums, bass, a couple simple melodic synth lines - some cool fx all inside maschine - then when it's time to record lead guitar...well if the musician would rather use multiple takes to piece together a perfect take - then simply allow what you've already recorded in maschine to playback while you record the new pass using a daw track.

Is this something that is impossible to do without maschine? No. Is it more convenient? Depends.

I'm a former MPC user - my workflow is built around starting a track on mpc then bringing it to daw to finish. If your workflow starts and ends with daw and you want to carry over the power of a daw to a maschine workflow then that is not something you can accomplish. However if you want the capability of quickly structuring a very healthy foundation for a song and integrating that frame very nicely with your daw for post production or detailed recording...this is a good option, IMHO.
