Before you enrol.
Yes - both, so you can find the workflow that suits you rather than the one the machine assumes.
Four assigned projects, covering beat making, sound design with Sampler and the Drumsynths, step automation, and Komplete Select instrumentation.
No. You produce an entire project from start to finish in Maschine, using the included NI Komplete plug-ins, without a separate DAW.
Yes - the course covers running Maschine as a plug-in instrument, as an effect, and as a MIDI controller inside both.
Yes - ask admissions about Maschine private instruction and we will pair you with a specialist.
36 hours, covering 101 and 201. Tuition is $1,799 when you book 14 or more days ahead, or $2,099 after that, plus a $200 registration fee.
