NI, we’re waiting for mpe, midi 2.0, Bluetooth, touchscreen &/or sliders added to next Maschine & Komplete Kontrol! Let’s Go!

[@StevenNess]

Super cool. Really love these videos that Sweetwater is doing with musicians really showing their chops. D’Will is really great here, and I am super enjoying seeing Nick's versatility. Cool to see him playing on a more entry level kit as well.

💯% 🔥👊🧡👍🔥

Took me a second to remember that sample from the second beat. Atmosphere!

[@OscarSlapp]

More of this!

[@anwaypradhan6591]

Great... Go ahead. You all gotta do the same infront of many masses, involving the masses in this very beautiful world of sound, rhythm, tempo and beats mesmering your body, rhythmising your body, energizing your thoughts, circulating your blood through out your body, developing new thoughts and ideas in this very majestic world of art, music, culture and traditions by virtue of developed science and technological means. A pogressive, advanced, musical, healthy, wealthy and wise world for everyone.❤✌️

[@ianmuessig]

That was absolutely awesome, more of this please

[@adampavelec857]

I definitely hear some “lovage” in track 2!

[@ronaldcoleman9370]

You can tell you guys haven't worked together but I can also tell that you both liked the experience!!! Gotta say Nick, you killed it on the second jam!!!

[@jarvisfoster3735]

This was really nice... def.. should do more together.. 2 pros at work!

[@justinf3278]

That was sick! I love the 2nd jam.

[@RandyHanley]

Thumbs up on this collaboration! Very cool.

[@RobertSaxy]

That was amazing, I use an akai force in a similar way. If you guys are looking for a good drinking game maybe take a shot every time you see DWills shirt tag

[@drindy5166]

Very cool grooves and session. This was worth the while watching for sure! 👊🧡👍

[@MickBenjamins]

Oh yeah D Will! 🙌

[@aaronsparks9012]

I love the pairing choice between Nick and D'Will's collaboration really cool examples on this stuff guy's that and honestly this was a lot of fun too watch, listen, and learn from as far as pairing these two different style's together was concerned and also Nick I'm just saying ever think of a career change or maybe even a new hobby anyways thanks guy's you really know your stuff.🤘🤘👋

[@GeorgeBarrett-jy5hv]

Just that little bit i heard sounds great

[@LocaliLLocano]

I got the best of both worlds in my setups. Maschine for beats and TD50K2 with superior drummer for my studio drums fix

[@JulianFernandez]

dopeee!

[@djjimmskeedjjimmskee1231]

D will is soo cool

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Except that commercial music libraries warn AGAINST using samples from Splice. For specific and legitimate reasons.

[@MarkLantz65]

Sounded great! Looked like a lot of fun! Can we say it's a tie?

[@snoopywalker1881]

I dont understand….who is controlling Nick the Virtual drummer

[@RocknRollkat]

"MASCHINE" (sic), don't you mean 'machine' ?

[@larrytan73]

You could have grabbed a better beat maker! The drummer was DOPE AF!

[@jbaranowski1990]

I will always choose a human drums. You can learn how to real drummer play and use it in your beats. I heard a lot of drum patterns that are impossible to play on real drums by one drummer! It's unnatural for me. I always like music which can be played on the real instruments and especially by real musicians. Of course you can use "unnatural" things to make some "effects" in your music but if you play instruments you clearly hear what was played and what was produced.

[@AT-wl9yq]

If you buy a Native Instruments product, be prepared to lose your money. I have a brand new Maschine that turned out to be a $700 paperweight. If you have any issues setting it up, there is no customer service. And I mean that literally. Its impossible to contact the company. The only thing they give you is basic web based troubleshooting. If you can't fix your issue using that, you're done. Even if you lie your way through the system so you can get to an actual box to type in your issue, it makes no difference. They will not respond to any communication. If I can't find someone who wants mine for parts, or something, its going in the garbage.

[@Drummer55]

The drums in Jam 1 are organic, but the synth stuff is too robotic. Ditto that for the other Jams as well. Is this a joke?

[@snoopywalker1881]

Clicking a button that plays someone else’s vocal Sample requires ZERO talent …pathetic even

[@larrytan73]

Maschine is dead. MPC!

[@OscarSlapp]

I love it!
