There are even allot of things in battery and traktor that should have been in maschine a long long time ago compared to NI's other apps maschine software is like a beta or something they haven't figured out what they want to do with, even though they and others will talk about their timeline, roadmap profusely, it's all vapor ware. Maschine is more underdeveloped than even allot of iOS apps and certainly more underdeveloped than any other groove box or drumsampler. If they put an audio card in the maschine, it would end up being like a 2500 without much of the capability save running vsts and better fx that would make it ultimately even more frustrating than it is.Īt the op, thanks for the comp, it was even but more subjective opinion than a comparison and to be honest I've realized recently that it's not really fair to make comparisons between maschine and other instruments because at this time and place maschine is basically inkomplete. I like them both, and do not regret getting ether. Studio with computer to add things that are unique to Studio. The way I use them both now is Maschine as standalone (on couch or wherever I want) to create. I believe that Akai is capable of doing it.
I truly believe that Ren/Studio has the potential to be the best ever. In closing (yes, this is a long post), for now I choose Maschine. I can’t even imagine what it’s like with Maschine owners that have Komplete or Komplete Ultimate (I don’t’).
If you don’t care about VSTi’s, then why by a Ren/Studio in the first place? You can sample with any of the old stand alone MPC’s, one of the whole marketing points of the Ren/Studio is the fact of VSTi support. I know many of you are saying “but the MPC is a sampler, just sample!”. The Band, Wub, 808, and Noise included with Ren/Studio are nice, but compared to the NI content they are a joke and a toy. As a matter of fact one of the reasons Machine is so much better as hardware only is the HUGE content available via the hardware. All of this is very accessible from the hardware. With a monster about of included presets, and thousands of user created and third party sounds. A thousand presets, and most are very useable. Then there is the Kontact, Rector and Guitar Rig contact. Maschine comes with a nice selecting of drum kits, many quite good. Even with the Ren where you get all 4 of Akai’s “synths” (really just sample players) it pales compared to the wealth of content in Maschine. There is a huge difference, and I greatly prefer the tactile and personal connection I get with Maschine.

Studio I use with Macbood Pro open, and mouse at the ready. Never looking at a computer screen, or touching a mouse. I use Maschine for hours at a time on my Macbook Pro on the couch with the lid closed. NI designed Maschine to be in essence stand alone hardware, that just happens to have a USB cable coming out of it connected to a computer. It is clear to me that Akai designed the Ren/Studio to be used as a controller for the software. Because the hardware is limited in what it can do alone.

The Studio is wonderful when I have the Mac Pro screen open, and the mouse ready. Maschine wins on being a hardware music creation tool. The Studio/Ren software looks more modern, and easier to use. The Maschine software to me is like a blocky 1990’s DAW. But the sequencer to me is better than Maschine, and the overall feel I like better than Maschine. Yes I know, the software is what everyone whines about. The Maschine, well, feels like a plastic slate. The thin and sleek Studio slips into it’s included soft case, and drops effortlessly into a backpack. I like the way it feels, slim and light, yet solid. It is inspiring to use, but not to look at.
Maschine is not as ugly as the Ren, but it is far from “sexy”. Now to get to the actual Studio/Maschine comparison. The Studio is for me very useable, no complaints. I have had one crash, and I have no idea what happened. Though the Ren crashed and made me regret even having the thing, the Studio with 1.3 has been flawless. Outside of the audio interface (which I don’t care about) and extra Q-link knobs (which I find the Studio way just as good) they are really just about the same in function. The Studio is to me a pleasure to look at, and a joy to touch. I can’t see a reason why anyone would want to change its appearance. Uninspiring in it’s drab dress, and more like something in a science lab than a music studio. I have had Maschine for over 1 and a half years. I then got the Akai EIE Pro audio interface, and a bit later a Studio. But the crashing, and the fact I really didn’t like having my audio interface in it, led me to be rid of it. Heck, it may be deleted there too! I'm just a guy, own both, and have an opinion.įirst of all, I started with a Ren, not long after release. I posted this at the independent mpc forums, but understand it may be deleted here.
