DJ Nu-Mark On Maschine Native Instruments

Maschine By Native Instruments

DJ Nu-Mark shows his toy instruments and lets us know why Maschine for him is the perfect marriage of the old-school hardware and modern “in the box” world.

Seriously, a basic layout could take you 5-10 minutes with Maschine, and a full production could be done in as little as an hour or two (of course that is if you knew exactly what you wanted).

Great thing about this software is the Dynamics Compression and Volume change.

Those seem to be the highlights which  made the difference in the overall tune.

I simply ignored the Pitch change since I find it no need and it might sound funny especially with vocals.
