If maschine expansions are game disc, I found an interesting thing.

I found an interesting thing. Everyone loves maschine expansions. I like it too.

If Maschine is a "game console", then expansions are equivalent to "game discs"

But many people are looking for better gaming machines for game discs.

This is like a PS game, instead of playing on the PS machine, I went to another machine.

I do see a lot of people trying to use maschine expansions with other DAWs.

But it should have been that maschine is most suitable for using its own expansions, but the result is not. Something is clearly wrong.

Actually, I am also using maschine expansions in STUDIO ONE now, how about you?

If it's a gaming analogy you're looking for then I'd say Expansions are pretty much DLC's...

It expands the content available of the game from when you bought it, prologs it's lifespan and brings excitement for the player without all the work required to build a whole new major game version... AKA The cheapest way for a company to keep getting money of a product the user already owns.

Highly subjective... Depends on what you specifically care most about in the Expansions content.

Its def the most suitable since its made for it but, if you like making music with another software better then yeah... it wont be the most suitable in that sense. I dont see non-Maschine users rushing to buy expansions tho, especially with so many sample-packs out there nowadays and... Splice.

Using Expansions in another software means you lose out on a ton of it's content, mainly the Group/Kit's, sure you can also use them with Battery but it's def not designed for it so we miss out on fx, audio loops that require the pattern, etc... Also Sounds are Maschine exclusive, Patterns in Kits, Projects, the NKS organised tagged browser stuff, Drum Synth presets, etc, etc...

Outside of Maschine I only use the expansions wav's or instrument presets maybe.

Yes, DLC, recently played Resident Evil 8's Daughter DLC, it was amazing.

I started to try a production method this afternoon, which is to use maschine for simple editing, export the audio, and then use STUDIO ONE for stitching, which I think is also fine.

I hear MASCHINE 3.0 is coming soon?

LOL. Dang, that's Tekken from like 2001 or something... that brings back some childhood/teen memories.

I think most people use this workflow, make basic stuff on Maschine then export the Audio to a DAW and fully arrange and add detail/mixing there.

Been hearing that for the past 7 years, at least. There was a point in time when there was a new thread asking about 3.0 every month...

7 years IS soon in NI vocabulary 😂😂😂

If they were games developers, we would still be playing to THAT Tekken 😂😂😂
