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.
