The 3 recordings are my result of 2 days of playing around with Maschine 2, I have kept it minimalist, 3 or 4 sounds to each rhythm: 1. In Maschine 2 I can get an idea of a rhythm, tweek it a little, and that is my new pattern, in stead of re-recording multiple times in Reaper, I have multiple ideas on 1 theme ready to place inside the project at different stages of the composition. Chopping and slicing up musical parts, stretching and using 1 bar melody lines can go a long way. The more I get involved with looping the more I appreciate how little data you need to create a song. I like Maschine 2, once I got my head around the layout and using the Scenes and Patterns in a stacked layout, I find it easy to try out different variations of ideas. I did try first with Ableton Live, but it could not get the workflow correct. It is easy to do manually but for creating ideas and testing the different items when dealing with multiple ideas, it is a bit messy. Reaper has some plugins concerning looping, but I find it difficult to arrange the items into a song. The past few weeks I have been trying to use Maschine 2 as a plug-in inside of Reaper.
