Gear pairing with Maschine
@Fade - the oxygen is ok, but it has a loose USB connection and it is big and bulky for my desk. I may go with the Akai MPK Mini MK2 and try out the MPC Essentials software and Hybrid 3 synth. Not quite sure yet though. The turntable idea also intrigues me. -
Gear pairing with Maschine
Hey guys. I have been using my Maschine solely to make beats and it has been working well for me. I have been thinking of picking up another piece of gear though if it increases my workflow. What piece of gear works well and helps with your workflow? I was considering a decent midi... -

Sticky Show Your Setup!
@tomkillsjerry Nice studio setup. I am loving my Rokit 4s, thanks for the recommendation of KRKs a while ago. I may just have to add that sub later for low end distribution. -
I want to become a producer. I need some pro adivce.
I completely agree with @Spritejohnson . YouTube will be your best friend - it definitely was and is for me. I didn't have someone to show me how to construct beats so I watched (and am still watching) countless hours of beat videos and tutorials. I am also going to join Maschine Masters soon... -
Studio Monitors
@Slag prod. They are awesome. I used them a bit yesterday and they sound fantastic. They definitely give me a different sound than my Audio Technica 50 headphones, which is great. They will help in providing a clear mix in the near future. -
Production 5 Things Every Beatmaker Needs in Their Studio
@sYgMa The audio interface isn't required if you have a Mac. You are definitely going to need one with a PC though. -

Thanks @Slag prod. I actually ordered a pair of the Rokit 4s. They will be perfect for my desk size. No acoustic treatment here either and it won't be happening. The room where I make music is our spare bedroom and it isn't aesthetically pleasing to have the treatment all over! -

Dang, that is dope! I love the changeups and FX on that track. Kind of a new age soul vibe going. I am digging that track @TheRealAGE.. Smooth and laid back.. The A$AP crew has some dope stuff.- PhDBeats

Hey guys - trying to resurrect this thread. Does anyone have experience with the JBL LSR305s? I have whittled down my choice to either those or the KRK Rokit 5s. I heard that the Rokits color the sound a bit and the JBL's are more of a true, clear sound. -

@tomkillsjerry Love that track.. Are those all Massive sounds? @KDVS That was fresh!!! Are you finding that more people are peeping your music with those beat building videos? I was thinking of heading down the same path.- PhDBeats

@Solo I really dig that second track. It has that soulful vibe with new age sounding drums. I like the repetive voice too. @tomkillsjerry Absolutely dope! Each time I listen to your tracks I enjoy the southern hiphop feel more and more. Hey guys. Here is a track I just finished with a...- PhDBeats

@tomkillsjerry Well done here - nice leads and transitions. Also the mix is very clean. I have found that the Native Instruments sounds are extremely clear and high quality - they really do help with mixing. Are these what you are using?- PhDBeats

Production 5 Things Every Beatmaker Needs in Their Studio
As far as controllers go, shoot for something with lots of knobs and buttons on the unit itself. I bought the Maschine Mikro and I do love it, but I am starting to wish that I had more controller and less software control options. The knobs make a big deal, especially with chopping samples... -
Headphones
Thanks for that. I am really looking forward to picking them up - hopefully they don't end up hurting my ears like the M30s do after a couple hours. -
Headphones
Thanks man, I appreciate that. Most of the reviews I have read are favorable ones. How flat are they compared to the DT100s? -

@Spuntastic Well done with your mixing. I like the beat itself too, it sounds like it could easily be part of a movie soundtrack. Maybe a modern day gangster flick?- PhDBeats

I went ahead and ordered a pair of Audio Technica ATH m50x. Super stoked on these as I had an original pair of m30s before. -

What about the KRK Rokits? In all of the beatmaking videos I have watched, 90% of the producers have these. $300 a pair isn't bad either.
