It's all about what the USER is comfortable with when will you get that through your stupid head Maschine people..no one gives a s*it about what it can do more or less...it about if YOU the USER is happy about..so what it's a MPC killer..is it?

No one's telling you what to get, so relax. And yes, it is all about what the USER is comfortable with. But you're very wrong when you say "Computer heads will never get why we prefer MPC's to product X". I'm a long time MPC user and so is saintjoe and we've both moved onto the Maschine. In fact, you'll find that an increasing number of MPC users are getting Maschine both here and on the NI forums. As a long time MPC user, I understand what makes the MPC different than using more powerful software sequencers and why MPC users prefer the much more limited MPC. NI does too and that's precisely why they created Maschine. It brings the instrument-like efficient workflow that was only previously available to standalone-hardware like MPC to a new hybrid concept that combines it with the power and flexibility of software. And Maschine is still very new. It certainly does not have the status/association the MPC has with hiphop that's been built over many years. But when it comes to improving the product and constantly innovating, MPC users can only dream of Akai being as responsive as NI has been with Maschine.

Again, I'm not telling anyone what to get. But I'll continue to correct ignorant claims being made against Maschine from insecure MPC fanboys and help anyone who's interested in checking out Maschine with relevant info.

That's too bad. You've got the equipment and the records, so if you've got the skills... 1, 2, 3... Let me know when you've got something you're happy with, okay?

Hi lotuz Im new on soundcloud and im with the 4k.not you hiphopper style-this is actually a random beat :? that i made in a short session(but im happy with).its fun :roll: to share http://soundcloud.com/baramundi-66/eclipse BTW this is a mpc4000 section.stop dragging us into your fangirl war.you and empti are the biggest knobs around this site.joking,no!!funny?kind of.but now its gone to far..........you have a spot over in the section with empty.use it.i can see the peeps getting a lil tense with your style.nothing to do with the great product maschine.understand this.


What has gone too far? :? I'm showing interest in other peoples way of working and music. Since when is that a bad thing? :roll:

Just because I use Maschine doesn't mean I share the same radical ideas as some other Maschine users. I'm not on a holy mission to convert lost souls. :lol:
