Don't freak out at the video length! The first 8 minutes demonstrate what I'll be showing you, and there are timestamps to jump around to parts that interest you. This is a super deep-dive MASTER CLASS showing you how Bitwig above any other DAW makes working with NI Maschine a relative breeze, enabling you to supercharge your production speed with the amazing content available in Maschine expansions.
I think you'll get a lot of benefit for sticking with the entire video, but YMMV. Please don't complain that the video is too long. I'll just delete comments to that effect.
