MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 VS PRESONUS ATOM (WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR YOU?)

[@shadowmixx]

This is fair and unbiased review of both and I can really appreciate that. I have been rocking with Studio One since the Producer 2 version. Just when had made up my mind to go with the Mikro MK3, Presonus drops their gem at an even cheaper price so I'm going to remain loyal for now and see what the Atom has to offer. Thanks for the comparison my brother Peace

[@DJKlemStudios]

Thanks

[@rpjmuzik6786]

A well balanced review. I already have the Mikro and Maschine Jam but definitely considering getting the MK3. Mahalo nui (much thanks) and Aloha from Waikiki!!!

[@DJKlemStudios]

Thank you. Looking forward to actually testing both devices.

[@maggiemaggie8887]

I find this comparison very comprehensive

[@fireballfireball7573]

So would you agree having both in your studio

[@omanisamwelmayani291]

what is the difference between this two machines as related to sound output? where can i get them while in kenya?

[@bubukitty9141]

Great review... Now, between Maschine Mikro Mk3 and Presonus Atom, which one is more cost-effective in terms of maintenance?

[@LightShadow]

Sorry for saying this but how can you compare those while not having used them ? how can you say build quality is good because they are renowned companies ? This is not a comparison.

[@DJKlemStudios]

You have a valid point. Thanks for the feedback.

[@mxolisintini517]

so basically the maschine mikro MK3 is the best, is it possible to have cdj's for maschine that would allow me to perform on the gig for the whole night without any disappointments?

[@VICKERY-]

Awesome video!

[@isaacmalenge8963]

There is an online store that is selling a brand new MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 for $200 should i buy it or it's not genuine?

[@DJKlemStudios]

LOL! Highly unlikely

[@emwendwa88]

For someone who does not need to know all this technicalities, which one do you recommend best. Which one have you used and found to be superior and has that extra edge?

[@JonathanZPB]

Where can one get the machine??

[@kevvvvv01]

At least I owned up to being biased :) If I was a DJ maybe I'd prefer maschine too. So it's only fair to say I want atom as a jamming tool to make writing music tracks more energetic & exciting, more tactile & thrilling. thanks for the reply. i liked your vid. you started slow but there was intelligence in the way you made your points so i kept watching :)

[@DJKlemStudios]

Haha! Thanks for the compliment and I totally get your point

[@abuabr952]

Between Maschine Mikro and Presonus atom which do you prefer

[@josephomo1225]

What's the differences between these two machines as related to the sound output?

[@DJKlemStudios]

The difference is basically the software you connect it to.

[@mustabshiramahmoud9685]

So which of the machines do u think is best ?

[@TheJuggallo]

It's good for making ambient/trip-hop tracks? Or better buy a midi controller with keyboard? I'm new in producer environment that's why I asking. It will be good choice for the first midi controller? Cheers man!

[@valerieknowles1285]

Nice video. But please just one quick question. Are you a software developer or you just discuss generally on machine based on your experience ?

[@DJKlemStudios]

I'm not a software developer... I make music. These devices are useful in my work

[@aeenr3075]

The most important section of a pad controller is the actual pads, how do these compare in terms of quality, playability?

[@DJKlemStudios]

Well, this wasn't a hands on review. Will do that once I have both devices. However, I expect both devices to be pretty even as both companies are renowned for well built hardware... The Maschine might just shade this because native instruments has more experience building pad controllers

[@akinnireabraham9712]

What else can they be use for?

[@DJKlemStudios]

You can use them as DJ controllers as well

[@CORNERSTOW]

Studio one is a full fledged daw maschine is not a full daw i own both and i have tge mk3. And i have the faderport for studio one but for the price of the atom its a great price for beginners starting out you dont need anything else

[@DJKlemStudios]

I agree about the price of the atom. It's a steal! However, if you're just a producer that makes beats do you think studio one is necessary?

[@TrNdke]

I think that Studio One's new features in Impact XT and Sample One XT, plus the Chord Track and Harmonic editing features and the very tasty-looking step sequencer would make it especially attractive to beat makers, particularly with the Atom controller available. I haven't used Maschine, but I hear that it's actually a pain to use as a plugin and people have come up with all sorts of workarounds to get what they need out of Maschine and into their DAW. Studio One is indeed a full-fledged DAW and there's no need to buy another piece of software to do serious work.

[@CORNERSTOW]

Nishidake its very easy to use maschine as a vst in studio one.. i can stem out all 16 pads to separate audio tracks in studio and record with ease

[@DJKlemStudios]

@@TrNdke the new features are great but in studio one artist you don't get the chord track or harmonic editing... You need to upgrade to professional for that. Also you don't get the library for presence xt in studio one artist.

[@relaxingmeditationmusicand8764]

What other good products can you recommend??

[@DJKlemStudios]

The akai MPD... M-audio trigger finger and Korg Padkontrol are all options

[@crazyebi]

Looks are very important but second to sound. It would have been nice to have pictures of the two of them side by side. Nonetheless Nice review. Do you intend to get the Mikro?

[@lekeodunayo3366]

Maschine Mikro mk2 seems better. Can it be used for video fx effect

[@stevemalaba2773]

basing on your comparison,is presonus atom the better one?

[@femiwilliams8045]

Dj klem I know you have tested each of this sound system machine but which do you think is the best to purchase

[@robertkipkemboi932]

Is there a way you can reduce the cost?

[@DJKlemStudios]

Haha! I wouldn't know about that

[@History_In_Motion_TV]

How can I get either of this while in Kenya?

[@localpm]

Great comparison.Thank you.

[@DJKlemStudios]

You're welcome

[@blessedayeyame4181]

How does these differences affect the quality of the product?

[@roninx7530]

In terms of performance and audio quality which one is better?

[@dawoud8013]

they are just "controllers" of your computer/sequencer. No perf and no audio quality to considering in the battle.

[@nhlanhlawyzman8478]

how much does this machine cost

[@kinpinmakkavells3832]

Unluckily it was just 11 and a half minutes of all talk of the review! I wish to know the differences between these two machines and how does these two Actual sounds!

[@DJKlemStudios]

I'll do a proper review soon

[@omarriziki1801]

the best controller is how much?

[@DJKlemStudios]

I don't know 😂😂😂 haven't seen it yet

[@eleojosani9304]

Great video, I love it. Please let me ask you this, are you a software developer?

[@smarttutors1378]

where can i get in south africa?

[@kithaoeric]

Love it

[@onyangookuku4886]

Nice comparison, If I may as, can I get this machines in Kenya and at which place to be precise?

[@DJKlemStudios]

I don't know about local retailers but you can definitely get it from amazon

[@leoopokat8235]

I got my Mikro mk3 2day is banging Kidd

[@joshuapaul592]

I’ve been with Studio one from the beginning and upgraded along the way now having 4 pro..and though I so badly wanted the atom because I wanted to make percussion parts without slamming my keys, I was impatient and got the Maschine Mikro because it came out first. All I had with NKS format was Analog strings just cause..well I don’t know why..I’ve been composing for a long time now. Anyways everything happens for a reason, for the comments about “Maschine isn’t a DAW” well...honestly yes, it is basically useless if you don’t use Maschine products It’s smart on their part to not sell it separate for multiple reasons. However, unless you are an ABSOLUTE beginner I think it’s BEYOND silly to think of it like that because of facts stated in this video and the fact that you should NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a piece of hardware without included software being a HUGE influence even advanced, because the bigger you buy..guess what, included software is usually better too...for example the audio box comes with artist and is 100 dollars...but guess how much SO artist costs...seriously do your homework and buy hardware that comes with lite upgradeable software to upgrade...you will need an audio interface more than likely anyways..NI makes the audio 6 which comes with komplete elements and cubase LE...a MILLION pieces come with Ableton lite, so on so forth, Maschine with 20 min if that of your time integrates seamlessly with most DAWs especially considering you can use it as a plugin... Concluding my rant with two things one, Maschine is an amazing way to either perform or put down basic ideas and then export them as wavs to further “nitpick” your composition in a “daw” studio one artist not having 3rd party vst support is on its own reason enough to not be worth your time unless you plan on spending another 300 bucks or something to upgrade to pro...which is amazing, just wish presonus would start listening to user requests like they claim to do when it’s a huge mass request..but anyways the last thing could go one of two ways...holy shite is Maschine a gateway drug..I went from only using eastwest composercloud, best service, and addictive drums..To now owning everything from output (huge sale on completing your collection only like 250 for over 1000 dollars worth of stuff) a used Maschine mk2(130) komplete select($100 dollar upgrade), a KK A61 keyboard, session strings, kinetic toys(don’t suggest libraries from them unless bundled), and an expansion or two because of my evouchers..holy cow should I not have spent that but damn is their stuff good and I make money to justify and have all the tools I need to get ideas down..so..yea..

[@franklinekyle1140]

Presonus atom falls into my budget. Where can i purchase it?

[@gabrielkinyanjui307]

Where can I get either of two in Kenya?

[@akinnireabraham9712]

Awesome

[@kobinakoomson156]

i think i get your drift. i am a lover of native instruments and think i will go for that anytime. However how come you talked about these two items without showing us the pictures of the features even if you do not have the real gadgets with you? building pictures in our heads sometimes leaves much to be desired.

[@kevvvvv01]

I'm a Studio One Pro user and biased. Presonus' track record for improvements, enhancements and updates is really great. They think up new stuff all the time. I love what they do inc Atom, which I've ordered, awaiting delivery. NI let me down when I bought Maschine V1. They made it redundant very quickly with Maschine V2, which was a disappointment, being stuck with an expensive piece of hardware so quickly.. They also did the same thing with my Komplete Kontrol M25 keyboard. Upgraded and left me with an old model. Maybe this can't be helped. But it's disappointing all the same, especially after such big spends. Additionally I don't care for the Komplete Kontrol software interface. This is a matter of taste. But I feel forced to use it, and never do. It's like wearing a rubber :) Last but not least: I'm hoping Atom will be updatable with firmware downloads. I can't promise this, but Presonus have such a good hardware reputation so I'm trusting them to implement VST recognition reasonably soon. I used to worship NI, and still love Kontakt. But they aren't what they were for me. And they still haven't implemented 4k graphics so Kontakt looks ridiculously tiny on my new monitor. Presonus have never let me down, the way NI have. I know this can be argued, but it's the way I feel. If I really love Atom, then maybe I'll buy two :)

[@DJKlemStudios]

Well... I can't argue with that. I do think that the atom will be a huge success... Eventually

[@streamit1915]

Nice one DJ klem

[@duncanokoth7826]

Can one buy them online, and do you ship worldwide?

[@DJKlemStudios]

I don't sell them... But they're both on amazon and Sweetwater.com

[@stewardnyanchoka8344]

WHAT ARE OTHER RECOMMENDABLE PRODUCTS?

[@tomilolaajayi3222]

Presonus Atom is fast, flexible with alots of features.

[@andrewportman6028]

Unfortunately it was just 11 and a half minutes of all talk! I wanted to hear the differences between these two machines. Actual sounds!

[@DJKlemStudios]

I'm sorry about that. I do intend to do more "hands-on" reviews in the future. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@TrNdke]

I don't think there are any Atoms in the wild yet...

[@andrewportman6028]

That's ok. When I got the news about the Atom it didn't come with any "this is what it sounds like" but only a generic promo video. I like to hear what a product can do before I consider buyin' it. I look forward to your hands on reviews sometime soon.

[@andrewportman6028]

Release them I say! Open those gates and let the Atoms roam free! Let me atom!

[@DJKlemStudios]

@@andrewportman6028 😂😂😂😂😂 elite level pun

[@arhyelasur72]

any website link to make purchases?

[@DJKlemStudios]

Amazon or presonus and native instruments online stores

[@vingilcollins2291]

Do you offer lessons on beat production

[@titusbunuju6271]

Soundtalk sounds interesting. How does a novice like me start learning?

[@Byronic19134]

Trial and error. Just start doing it.

[@EyeSeaEverything]

It sounds like maschine is better.

[@nefiamosu2200]

How is something cheap at 250 dollars

[@DJKlemStudios]

In our line of work, $250 is considered relatively cheap 😃. For context, the full size Maschine controller is $600 or so...and there's an $800 one as well.

[@jondilliom]

Thats not counting what the top mpc costs. I dont own it cause its like 1000 when it came out. I bought tge mikro mk2 when it was like 100 more than the mk3. Thinking about selling it and getting an atom bc I like s1 alot more than maschine as far as daw. And if you can intergrate with other softwares only other one I use is fl
