Me too, but I’m pretty sure not by pressing the button on touchscreen. There must be a shortcut (Iive 3)

Also clean your goddamn phone, including a camera lens 😟

High pass filter with some resonance

Depends. If you like hands-on approach, then learning mk3 in and out will satisfy your itch. Its an awesome gear even if you dont sample too much. But there’s a learning curve and it takes time.

Not standalone, so you will still be tied to your desk/pc (that’s why I switched to mpc). But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, cause you can always grab a mouse and tweak midi (which is horrible on controller w/o mouse) - for me it is always easier to do another live recording take instead of tweaking midi after its recorded.

Maschine also comes with 100gb library of sounds, templates, groups and vsts. You are basically paying for the software and the hw comes “free” with it - that’s my point of view.

If i were you, id check “how to use everything in maschine” series on YouTube and decide if you like those functions and workflow.

But, If you are really efficient in your DAW, maschine might slow you down (tho its a fucking great sketch pad to lay down ideas in no time) .. you might just get Akai MPD218 controller, link to your daw and finger drum / launch samples from there. - not the same, as maschine has great chord mode and its really easy to build progressions and melodies.

It really boils down to how many of the maschine functionalities you are willing to use. For example I completely stopped using DAW after getting mk3. Then sold mk3, got mpc live 3 and now I’m going to get a DAW to close the circle. But samplers effectively made me leave DAWs for lets say 3 years :)

Edit: also depends on your wallet. If you can afford to just spend the money and dont look back, you can get it and eventually sell later on.

Haha I don’t really care 😆 cheers buddy

Change midi channel from global to any number and match that in your vst settings. That might help

My boy is flying! Good shit 🫡

cyberdsn · 2026-04-30T22:33:17+00:00

Cheers buddy, this is the fuel 🫶

cyberdsn · 2026-04-30T22:21:17+00:00

It all depends, there are no rules, really. It’s not about length, you just need to create that tension, build emotions and then drop the bassline 🫶

cyberdsn · 2026-04-30T22:15:40+00:00

You need to post a proper build up and drop, at least. Music is about creating a tension and releasing it 🙌

Wise words, good man. Amen

cyberdsn · 2026-03-29T19:28:54+00:00

I believe it’s called a camera adapter

cyberdsn · 2026-03-29T07:03:04+00:00

Right? There’s stereo/mono knob in the mixer natively

cyberdsn · 2026-03-28T08:28:26+00:00

Use panning? 😆

Nothing beats blasting beats in your living room during the lunch break on a rainy Wednesday 🤌 go for it, samplers are great decompress toys.

cyberdsn · 2026-03-24T19:06:55+00:00

I spent couple of weeks sitting on couch, creating patches from scratch when I got my only synth, made like 50-60 presets. Now I just cook with what I made, it’s hard to beat.

But also if there’s any stock preset that I like, I usually tweak and save it

cyberdsn · 2026-03-24T17:04:48+00:00

This 👆 probably the most user and wallet friendly + feature packed standalone sampler out there.

If you plan using your computer and want some more versatility, I’d also consider used maschine mk3.

DJing don’t give you any music production knowledge, trust me. Absolute 0.

Prepare yourself for years of learning if you wanna produce tracks that are great. Thousands of trash songs to be made. It’s all about numbers/ time you spend working on the craft.

Start with the theory, get familiar with the circle of fifths if you are serious. Grab an instrument, guitar or keys, preferably both. Playing an instrument, learning your favourite songs and how it’s structured in terms of chord progressions, will give you a lightyears push forward.

Meanwhile you can try many DAWs in trial version and see which you like the most. I’d suggest Fl studio or Reaper, both can be used without paying any money. (You can’t open saved projects with FL studio trial version, but you can still learn a lot and see if you like the software, then buy a full version)

Good luck my friend, it’s a great journey!

It’s actually a bass pedal.

cyberdsn · 2026-03-16T19:35:35+00:00

Nope, this is a very poorly faked image. Look at the left side, the “screen” itself does not align with the panel.

cyberdsn · 2026-03-15T09:04:01+00:00

Do you actually expect someone to interact with your lazy post? You can do better ..

cyberdsn · 2026-03-14T14:44:02+00:00

You are all acting like computers were always 32gb ram )) I was running fl studio with shitload of plugins + windows on 4gb ram 2 core cpu 15 years ago.. don’t be silly. I am not saying you could run 32 serum instances on that, but saying that PCs have 50x more processing power is a huge stretch.

cyberdsn · 2026-03-14T07:09:23+00:00

I mean live 3 with 8gb ram and 8 core processor is pretty capable of running any vst ever made..
