Maschine worth it??

[mostapha]

Maschine is really only worth it if one intends to actually use the NI software that comes with it

People who spend $600 on a trigger finger are retarded.

So, since we are talking about using the Maschine in the context of DJing, we need to take a look at how many DJs have been using the Maschine in their DJ workflow, and for the most part, it's way overkill since a large bulk of them are using it as nothing more than a sample launcher, in which case there are a myriad of more suitable controllers for the task (Kontrol X1, Kontrol F1, A&H K2, APC20, Launchpad, nano pad, Pad one, midi fighter, etc.).

I won't disagree with you there at all. You're 100% right. I forgot we were talking about morons who buy shiny things with NI branding instead of thinking.

That's why I said Maschine and the X1 were in no way related. People who buy Maschine with no intention of using the sofwarre are retarded. They're completely different products intended for completely different uses. It's kind of like using a Rally car to pull a farm plow around……yeah……it'll work, and it only costs a little more than a tractor…but……I swear I was going somewhere with this besides using the R word again. I really need to stop using my days off to switch b/t Maschine/PT, a pub, and forums.

Oh and …Seriously…people misunderstanding this crap makes me want to switch back to vinyl and buy an Octatrack.
