Here's a video of him from two days ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr4uk3AWcXE
Interview with Allhiphop.com:
"AllHipHop.com: Music is constantly evolving and so is the equipment producers use. I hear you're using the "Maschine" by Native Instruments now.
EA Ski: That done changed the whole game again.
AllHipHop.com: I'm hearing a lot of noise about some of the top named producers switching over to this sequencer. What is it that makes it special for you?
EA Ski: To be honest with you I didn't know what to think about it until I got it. The way the work flow is allows it to convert from hardware to software. The way the pads swing give you that MPC feel but it's next level. Words can't even describe how incredible this machine is. The sounds in there are incredible. It's a small machine that you can take with you. You can't take a MPC with you. You can't carry that big thing with you like that. You can take this machine, put it in your backpack, take it on a plane and make some of the coldest records.
AllHipHop.com: What records have you done using this?
EA Ski: My last almost 20 records I've done using this. I just won an award for my video "No Problems" I did on the Maschine. I've been going crazy. I did the new Ice Cube and it's like the Maschine is just incredible.
AllHipHop.com: When you mention that it can switch from hardware to software, explain to people what you mean by that.
EA Ski: The hardware of it is that you can hit the pads, but you can still see it in your software if you go into Logic or Pro Tools or whatever. But for those who like to hit the pads, you have the hardware. It allows you to do both things at once. I work in "stand alone." That’s when you run the machine by itself. But they have a feature called the "Drag and Drop" where once you finish that track, you can drag that right into your Pro Tools or Logic session. Then boom, the track is right in there with no delay. It's the most incredible thing that I've seen being in Hip-Hop. They (Native Instruments) really were thinking about how to make producers be able work in a comfortable fashion without losing a step.
AllHipHop.com: Well since you’re cranking out all this material with the Maschine, what can people keep their ears open for from you?
EA Ski: Well right now I have an artist named Locksmith and this kid is incredible. I'm working on Ice Cube's new album called I Am The West that's dope. I'm working on my solo album The Fifth Of Skithoven and I got a lot of great features with Tech Nine, Ice Cube, and B-Real from Cypress Hill."

What..?? plug it in the plane's board computer or what? Machine won't do a thing without a PC or Mac connected to it.
It's far easier taking a MPC 500 (that really works standalone) or even a bigger MPC with a battery pack on a plane than lugging a Machine controller and a laptop with you.. Not to think about the reaction of the guy sitting next to you when you put the laptop on his lap and the machine controller on your own and start hitting the pads lol

Ski doesn't count I've seen him make bangers on sp1200, mv8800, Ableton, Neko and now Maschine LOL. He's at the level where he can make beats on anything. But na, the Maschine is cool. I had it but let it go and been using mpc as chopping tool with logic being my main sequencer. I feel I didn't lose anything. and I kept the sounds

Considering the fact that some of you guy's including the OP have already posted in the other Maschine thread.
