I put together a series of videos that show some of the features of working with a software drum sequencer. Being that maschine is the current benchmark of software drum sequencer/sampler, I hope to show the workflow and the usage of a software drum sequencer that the current hardware users and novices may be unfamiliar with. Maschine current parameters and abilities are what I measure the future Ren/Studio to have and even surpass when they are released. This is not an maschine endorsement though the gear itself it great hence I use it also.
I work a lot with maschine and I like to have of the advantages of the new way of working along with the classic involve with the new mpc. I decided to show some of the aspects that I think that can be used as a guideline and benchmark for Ren/Studio development. I think also these may be helpful for current hardware users new to software drum machines and novices new to beatmaking.
Fmajor working the slice modes.
Software integration with presets listed and types
Creative Sampling editing
Dragging audio into a DAW from standalone
Finally just fast hands on working from the interface.
These videos aren`t a direct endorsement of maschine over Ren in no way. Though I do like maschine. They are show the how I envision the Ren/Studio software and hardware working together within a dedicated sequencer along with third party software. As of now within the software production workstation the maschine is the benchmark of integrated drum machines. Any development that Akai makes should match and even surpass this which I believe they will.
Pete Rock my first inspiration years ago to beatmaking using hardware.
In the end everything is based on knowledge on how to use the gear and a hell of an ear. Pete is one the masters of Hip Hop showing and telling it isn`t all just about the gear but what you know about music and how to make it.
FS Green another great inspiration that took me over from hardware to software
making everything with his ear and fruity loops. It is all about the producer and the musician in the end whatever software or hardware as long as we have an ear and we know how to get the sound we want.
Peace to all and I know that when the new gears hits the market all those who are concern makes bangers on whatever they want to use. Just learn your craft and forget everything else it is the music that counts.
