Questions & Answers

Is this capable of cutting and slicing a vinyl record?

Yes, an extra piece is required for the right connector.

What software is it and what version?

Software for Machine #2

I'm buying this as a gift for someone; do I need to include anything else besides a laptop so they can use it right away?

The software is on a CD. Everything is contained within the box.

What else do you think you'll need to make good beats, in your opinion?

The Mikro 2 is something I would never use. If all you want to do is make beats, get a drum machine; it'll save you weeks of figuring out how to use the Mikro 2.

Selected User Reviews For Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK2 Groove Production Studio, Black

On the market, the best sounds
5/5

However, make sure you download and activate the files in the correct order. This device is incredible. Make sure you download, activate, and register the software in the correct order. I had to redownload a few things because I didn't know how to do it correctly the first time. If anything, I wish the instructions for downloading were more clear. But after a few hours of downloading and a few days of watching YouTube tutorials, this thing outperforms them all! The software and interface are the most intuitive, and they work in tandem. Native Instruments has the highest quality and variety of sounds. I've used it to create loops of beats and chords to write with, as well as live finger drumming and other live applications. I play guitar, and this is programmed with bass drops and pads right next to me. It's very handy! I've included a video of my favorite kit for your viewing pleasure. It's a big deal! If you're looking for the best beat maker on the market, this is the one to get.

Beats! This was purchased by my boyfriend so that he could make beats for his own music projects
4/5

Initial configuration- Due to a computer that was out of date on its updates, getting things set up was a bit of a pain. Additionally, you can get the set-up software by downloading it. For someone who isn't well-versed in technology in general, getting up was a little confusing. It's very easy to use once it's up and running. In less than ten minutes, you can have a great beat going. You can also experiment with a variety of synthesizers and sounds. I would recommend this product to any bedroom producer who enjoys making their own beats because of the unbeatable price.

Do not purchase a used item
3/5

Buying this product used isn't worth it because the serial number has already been registered, leaving you with nothing but a pricey midi controller.

The best musical instrument box
5/5

It's an excellent tool for recording and reproducing samplers, as well as composing and playing live music. The sound bank is also excellent.

OMG, I ADORE IT! I don't know where to begin when it comes to praising this device; if you've been debating whether or not to buy it, what are you waiting for? DO IT NOW
5/5

Ascertain that you have sufficient funds to purchase the sound expansion pack. Also, keep an eye out on the Native Instruments website for special offers. I was able to get 9 of the sound packs for $99 total, which is a savings of $49 per sound pack. You'll get a $25 e-gift card from them. to use a coupon The sounds are incredible, and so is the ease of use. Make certain you have a digital audio workstation (DAW) to work with. I only use Audacity to fade the beginning and end of my songs; otherwise, I use Maschine 2. I've been using hardware for years, and when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. You will not be disappointed if you purchase it. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> I only upgraded to the Maschine Studio because I couldn't pass up a great deal. The preceding assertions remain true.

I really like Maschine because it performs the same functions as the MK2 but at a fraction of the cost

Excellent value for money
5/5

All of the additional plug-ins that come with this unit make it well worth the money. I'll admit that trying to access all of the features from the unit itself is a steep learning curve. Instead of using Pro Tools 12, I already have a MIDI keyboard that I can use to play all of the sounds. For the price, there are a lot of great effects and features.
