- erybodyknows 4y agoAgreed. It is more akin to a “live performance DAW” like Ableton Live, without the PC middleman.
- Kye 4y agoI've been holding off buying a Push since it's widely theorized Push 3 will include a groovebox like Maschine+. Ableton Live is good, but sometimes I want to work away from the computer.
- jbaczuk 4y agoI was gonna say, I would never use it as a DAW, but it is darn cool!
- prmoustache 4y agoI mean it is running a daw so... I think there are two valid reason to call some grooveboxes daw-in-boxes: - if it has a song mode allowing one to do a complete composition without having to record his live performance - if it allows the installation of audio plugins For example the akai mpc series are basically computers running linux and the mpc software DAW preconfigured to make use of the physical knobs and pads. Same for the NI Maschine+. To me they are Daws in boxes. However an elektron machine will be more a groovebox.
- throwawaycuriou 4y agoAs a hobbyist musician I'm bemused by the stickiness of the concept of a DAW. There are so many all-in-one devices that meet the definition of each letter in the acronym. But DAW is a proxy for something else, vaguely more professional or expensive. Then you have the idea of DAWless. Oh well, every field has its vestigial jargon.
- Kye 4y agoIt's like you're accusing me of putting the DAW on a pedestal when I said calling this a DAW diminishes it. I must have misunderstood your comment.
