Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I don't check this thread very often. Now I don't want to turn this into meta-talk, but I thought I should respond here to everyone...
I'm not totally opposed to creating stickies on request, but I'm not really convinced that this particular thread belongs in that group. It's obviously popular but that is not a justification in and of itself. In fact it's a negative justification because popular threads end up getting bumped to the first page anyway. In my mind, there are two main reasons to make a thread sticky:
1. To highlight something that is important for new/infrequent visitors to see, especially something that doesn't or shouldn't get a lot of replies (i.e. the rules, or the recent album thread);
2. To keep discussion about a particular topic in one place, that would otherwise have new and redundant threads started frequently (i.e. remix competitions, or the soon-to-be-updated FAQ).
I don't see how studio pics fits into either of these categories. I don't see a lot of people starting new threads about it all the time, and it's not necessarily something that's important to draw attention to for newbies, lurkers and/or occasional contributors. As far as I'm concerned, people are asking for it to be stickied simply because it's one of their favourite threads to come back to, and that is why everyone has the ability to subscribe to individual threads (or, hell, just add a bookmark in your browser).
Having said that, I'm not putting my foot down yet; if somebody has a particularly convincing reason that I've overlooked, let me know and I'll consider it.
(P.S. No arguing about it in this thread - either post your rationale or don't post. Once it's settled I'll remove these off-topic posts from the thread.) |

in the first place i'm pretty sure he was being facetious... :conf:
in the second place, jesus, no need to get all snippy about it, this isn't a competition thread.
in the third place: where's your 'studio' pics? :) |

| I don't think it needs a sticky, if I can add that. |

According to the Bio on his website, it looks like he has been around since the beginning. I wouldn't mess with him. He was probably there when Tiesto invented that new "electro" thing or whatever.

| I'm with digniut. I think stickies should be reserved for threads that don't come back up all the time. No neccesity for this one. Tutorials etc are a different matter. |

Yeah, it's a shame - they need to come up with some sort of rack mounting kit [for Maschine] and it'd be nice if they had a tilted LCD.
Here's another idea - have you tried using a laptop stand? that may work. There are tons of them and they are pretty sturdy.

I spent some time at Office Max, Office Depot, and Staples today looking at laptop stands and the only one I found that was sturdy/solid enough, had rubber feet to stay in place and not scratch my desk, and adjustable enough to view all the Maschine controls was the Allsop 29528 Redmond Stand ($29 USD). It hardly moves when I'm tapping in drums and it's easily adjustable - just about perfect. Thanks for the tip!

What is your opinion re: the samples provided by NI Maschine? I'm looking to get some new samples appropriate for tech house, minimal, and techno. A friend of mine recommended the Maschine, saying that he never uses the controller but loves the samples (and their flexibility). |
