The Next Level In Beat Production (NI Does It Again!)

I haven't written a post on beat production centers since my post on the Akai XR20. This is Native Instruments latest MPC beat production unit "Maschine" which I believe is the next level to MPC because it combines both hardware and software in one unit. The link below offers some further samples of how this works and there are a few nice demo videos on there too. 

Beat production is still kind of new to me and I'm still working on putting my own studio together for that purpose but I like when products like this one comes along to help point the way to some outstanding music. Go to this link and you'll see what I mean.

 For now I'm still working with the Akai products which are also pretty good for someone starting out like myself and the more I use it the better I get at this. The NI Maschine is of course more expensive than the Akai XR20 (about $699.00 retail) but this is still priced lower than the Akai MPC-3000 and it does even more! Talk about bang for your buck!? this is it!

So Happy New Year fans, followers, and fellow DJs let's bring the new year in with a Bangin Beat! and  As Always................"Stay In The Mix"
