There have not been any good expansions in a long time. I think the last one that I truly liked was the one IRRUPT did. Distict Xeo. I get the impression NI are positioning Maschine more towards the hip-hop / Lo-Fi market. I guess it's okay if that's your genre.

Even so , getting regular drums putting ni lofi and cab fx isn t what i call lofi , half of those lofi dudes don t even know what s lofi , it all started with sampler more specifically , the sp1200 ... we used to record fast speed to have some room left in memory , low resolution , slowing down after, and you re basically lower even more the sample rate ... i loaded havoc kits today : zero fx on sample and group , the guy is just one of the dopest producer around brooklin (mobb deep) ... now watch what they release ... i don t even go in details cause it gonna be dirty lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. it's just a production technique linked to tools .... samplers in that case , this gave a sound , and at that time , vinyl's were the kontakt librarries lol It's a sonic esthetic , now they associate this to jazzy boom bap music while lofi was from Wu tang , to ultra magnetic mc's , from Dr dre to Pete rock and Cl smooth , of course J Dilla used it as well as other jazzy goups (Tribe called quest ect ..) but for me it's a way of displaying sound integrety , smooth high , dense mid , controlled lows . In fact the sp 1200 had several output , some super clean ,smooth filtered and some super filtred add to this built in 12 bits 27khz sample rates options and you'll have a lot of diff flavors .... In the end what they call lofi very restrictivly style wise , is what we call early hip hop days ! and it stayed because producers have ears !

I don't usually listen to this type of music, so this could be a naïve statement but - I find it strange that this is classified as lofi. The drums have been rounded off with a low pass, and there's some low level crackliness, but the instruments themselves are actually quite high-fi and pristine sounding; they have a mellow tone, but you can still hear all the highs.
