If you're not fully understanding how to map a LP, then the Maschine isn't going to help you any further in my opinion. |

I don't believe for a second that the MK2 out performs the MK1 on any musical level. I asked for the old one - received the new one. You could get the MK1 and a copy of LOGIC for less than the MK2 and be covered up with potential for a very, very long time. |

Shan Bauerly 02.01.2013 | For me, the decision would depend if NI make the jump with Maschine & the remix decks. The RGB pads are worth it, if they do. Then again, you can get a lot of plug ins with the money you save. I just got mine and am rather enamored with it. |

Finally I asked for it for christmas from my parents and it came. The setup does have a lot of potential I agree, I hope to incorporate some abelton into it ( I have most of Mad Zach's) packs. My next gear piece will be a maschine... But I have to 1) learn what I have 2) Decide whether to buy my friends MK1 for 200$ or a MK2 for 500.... any Ideas? |
Shan Bauerly 02.01.2013 | Yeah, you won't get anywhere with remix decks and the Launchpad. You can map it to fire the track/sample in the top slot, like sample decks used to be, but that's it. You can, however, map some effects to it and use it like a midi fighter. I was just looking at your kit believeing how much power you actually have in such a compact rig. Pretty amazing what you can fit in a backpack. Check out Mad Zach's sound packs. TMA's with the over the ear urethane ear cups from the TMA1 Studio are also killer. They just snap right in. Nice rig. |
Ami Lele 02.01.2013 | Nice, Thanks for the tips... Abelton ( launchpad edition at least) is very over-welming and frustrating for me. How did u learn it? And that gig is nice... I am not trying to downstage you, but I just found out yesterday, from one of my friends that he knows someone who opened up for hardwell recently and I was soooo jelous. The kid is 15 ahhaah |
Merideth Garnder 02.01.2013 | Well I see that you have the JWill's Midifighter mapping on your LP. I don't believe you can map the LP to do what the F1 does in controlling the remix decks.....I've been trying that for a while and gave up.... You should really look into controlling Ableton with the LP and getting in control of Ableton's drum racks and effects racks.....takes a little research but it's improved my sets and the creative process a whole lot! We opened for Norman Doray and Funkagenda at Avalon Hollywood a couple of weeks ago and even they were asking about some of our live performance techniques.....although they kicked ass on CDJs!! |
Ami Lele 02.01.2013 | No in traktor |
Ami Lele 02.01.2013 | What is the difference in the logo? Does my s2 have the new logo? And thx for the feedback |
Khadijah Bucker 02.01.2013 | looks good, love the headphones and cap combination. wonder if you can buy the platters with the new ttraktor logo separately, my s4 has the old logos |

Claire Auyeung 02.01.2013 | Great starter kit! Are you using ableton and Traktor on the same system? Or do you use the launchpad for other things? |
