Hello! Since I have a lot of studies and very little of time, updates for this website can sometimes take a while. But I have recently uploaded a new track to my YouTube Channel. Listen to it here. Not a great track so maybe I could release the FLP file for that one later. Anyway, if you follow MiqueMusic on twitter you should now have noticed that my computer have been s*** the last couple of days. It’s solved! I have now rebooted it twice so hopefully it works for a while.

 

Also all of the “MiqueMusicYT” tutorials and how to videos are now available from this page, with download links (FLP file and Sounds).

Native Instruments MACHINE

This is seriously going to be my next buy! After some googling and youtube watching I really start to like this one.

Overview
First, it’s important to get your head around what exactly Maschine is. It’s billed as a groove production studio for your computer and to this end, it comes with a huge library of drum kits, loops and instrument presets, plus an environment to process, sample and sequence them into patterns and songs.

The hardware element is a USB-powered controller (not an audio interface), which is used for anything tactile while all the ‘sounds stuff’ is done by the software. The software interface is great, but the screens and controls on the hardware make it impressively redundant.

NI provides separate DVD installer disks for Mac and PC users and you can choose to install the software, plug-in (VST, AU, RTAS) and library, which will take around 10-20 minutes depending on your drive speed.

The library is meticulously organised and tagged (as you would expect from the inventors of Kore) and you can browse for complete kits or individual sounds. These include all kinds of instruments as well as drums and sound effects, elevating the Maschine beyond a mere ‘beatbox’. Everything can be saved: kits, effects, songs, the works.

 

The controller
The hybrid metal/plastic enclosure of the Maschine hardware is slim and light, perfect for partnering with a laptop and slotting into a backpack for gigs. The jet-black paintwork has a minimal amount of labelling and graphics, giving it an uncluttered, stealth-like appearance we love.All the buttons are made from the same rubbery plastic and benefit from under lighting. The pads are similar to those on Korg’s padKontrol, but chunkier. They are a tiny bit smaller than an MPC’s and have a higher profile too, but feel similarly ‘stern’ and serious.

This is from Musicradar.com, you can read the rest there.

It’s finally here, FL Studio 10. You can download the FL Studio 10 installer here and either update your current FL Studio installation, don’t forget to download and install a new FLRegkey.Reg file, or try it in demo mode.

If it’s an interesting sound you seek? This is what you get! My personal favorite is the “Monomate” plugin, if tweaked correct, you’ll get alot of dirty electro basses out of it! The layouts and interfaces may not be the best, but they are free and really worth trying.

You can download all of them from this website, but you will need a .zip program. Get one here!
