Just follow the instructions and be a little patient for the scan of the library at first launch.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I used maschine on a PC with an i5, 8GB of RAM and an SSD. It runs perfectly, really no crash in more than 2 years of use, either in stand-alone mode or plugin mode in Live.
The best performance boost has occurred thanks to the 2.0 version of Maschine. The app is finally supports multi-core and I saw the CPU load down tremendously. Although I have never exploded CPU with version 1.8, it's always nice to reduce the cpu consolidated, especially when using Maschine with other software.
I will not étaller me on the fact that the controller is super well built, it is the best in the world equipment and software in a single product, it has been said 1000 times.
OVERALL OPINION
Moreover, I recommend everyone to update the v2.0. Additions to this version are well worth the $ 99. The Drums Synth them only fill the $ 99. I considered buying a Volca Beats to be able to adjust my drum sounds. Once I discovered the potential and versatility of synth drums v2.0, I realized that it was not necessary to spend $ 150 more. So, yes, but this is not a true analog sound, it's not comparable, blah. All I can say is that in a full mix, we see that fire, analog emulation of kick and snare are just bluffing. Not to mention the physical modeling are also excellent. I do a lot of finger drumming, and it is a pleasure to feel much subtlety in his fingers.
And about the update, I have not spoken emulation Rohdes, which is also fabulous, limits on the number of group effect have been removed and so on ...
I am less a fan of the new Prism synth, but hey it is a matter of taste. And I think the idea of a mixer view is good, but against what is unfortunate is that there is no particular method to mix the material interface. So ultimately not very useful.
The biggest reproaches I can do a maschine is that it is impossible to use a mono input of the sound card and bring it out in stereo. Let me explain, for example, if I want to play a bass line with a hardware synth that is connected to the left input of my sound card, the sound will just left. And I have not really found a solution, the better it is to use a plugin to refocus its ... But hey I'm not a fan of this kind solution a little patch ... It is usually at this point that I decided to release Live
In any case, I do it again this choice without any hesitation. The egonomie, quality banks of sounds, synths (Massive foremost) make maschine is the centerpiece of all my productions.
I advice everyone who is looking for a box sampler pace. Besides, I think the other versions (and MKII Studio) does not bring much more compared to this version. And as the beast is solid, it's worth it to look to the occasion and keep her in for something else, like packs of sounds, synths ... We are all the same, we still lack something then keep all of what to invest for the next box blip
