STEMs Workflow similar to Maschine

Hey All,

Sorry for the Noob question, I am a Maschine user (but consider myself traktor curious). Working with STEMs looks similar to a live workflow within Maschine?

If I try to play live in Maschine, i have different scenes and patterns within those scenes. I can loop, mute, change effects, it all looks pretty similar. So do STEMs have an advantage over that type of workflow in Maschine? I am not trying to be critical, just trying to understand.

Thanks,

Roger

 

I don't think thats a Noob question at all bro..In fact its quite an informed one.As both a traktor annd maschine user there are some similar ideas happening.From what I see tho there is if you look at it on a per track basis then theres only four stems in a stem file and you can't yet loop them individually.Machine will always go deeper as far as i can tell but i am not at all taking away from the serious fun we are gonna have with stems.I think the biggest advantage of stems is being able to get other producers tracks and get amount them in the mix..both have thinner place thats for sure...fun times !

 

Thanks. The looping is a good point, i didn't know that. I guess the other perspective is that a Maschine project may let you go deeper and have more layers to it, but more can go wrong too. With Stems being a universal format, compatibility allows as you said, to get projects from others and play with them. Also, if you play around with a stem, can you alter the 4 tracks permanently or are they set once saved as a STEM?
