Maschine 3
Hello Peeps! Anybody (besides Dana & myself) using Maschine? They just came out with V3 and I wanted to get some input. There’s now stem separation, bounce in place & more midi tools. $29
Worth it?

Yes! I know a lot of long-time “Maschinists” on Reddit and YouTube are pissed that the v3 update doesn’t (yet) have many of the long-awaited, often-requested updates; but I for one am excited about what is included. I’ll take what I can get, right?! Haha. And at $29 it’s a no-brainer for me. … well … with one caveat: Maschine+ “standalone mode” isn’t yet supporting the v3 update.
I have a Maschine MK3 and also an M+. I’m gonna wait for M+ v3 compatibility cause I just KNOW that if I download v3 for my MK3 I’ll start creating projects and then will be super bummed when they don’t open on my M+ in standalone.
All that said, I can’t wait to implement the new v3 features into my workflow!
How bout you, @smoothygroove? Gonna take the plunge and update your Maschine?

I’m not quite sure yet. All of the “New” features I can already do in Logic (Stem Sep/Midi Mute & Split/bounce in place/audible note preview/Monark, Massive, Prism – I’ve had for years). And I agree – of the reviews i’ve read are all Underwhelming. The included Ozone Mastering Software I have (v9), but stopped using it because of the CPU hit. Logic has that now, and I’m happy with it.
That being said I may just say wtf and get it for the new Central Library😄 I’m a sucker for NI updates!

Ah, yeah I get it! And true, none of these features are new to me either, as I’ve been making “digital stems” for years now using iZotope RX’s Music Rebalance. Ditto on the other “new” instruments added to Maschine V3.
I think what I’m realizing, however, is that unlike most users, I’ve always used Maschine outside of my main DAW (pro tools, Ableton) and so these V3 updates for me are like, “ok cool, thanks NI!”. In other words, even when I’m composing or beatmaking in Pro Tools, I prefer to run Maschine software as a standalone DAW rather than a plugin within Pro Tools. I just find it to be much more fun to use maschine when it’s untethered from my DAW. This is also why I’m loving Maschine+ lately, cause now I’m LITERALLY untethered from my whole computer! lol.
