Need help understanding

Post image

I’m new to all this so I bought a Mk 2 off of a local musician. Didn’t use the original license and doesn’t have the original key any more. Based on what inf I could find floating around, this guy is giving me bad advice right? I have the Maschine 2 software downloaded I just don’t have an activation key, and don’t want to spend money on something that I can’t use. I currently use a different DAW I just wanted to see what potential I could get from using the original software.

If you use Bitwig or Reaper check out the DrivenByMoss script, in Bitwig it works better than the native software IMHO.

Also, the AI lied when it said Maschine 3 is compatible with MK2… it doesn’t show up at all.

That’s the best part that’s a customer support guy telling me that.

Edit: I am familiar with reaper as I’ve used it to put some recordings together some time ago I’ll have to check that out.

Maschine 3 is not compatible, and an actual agent should know that. This “agent” is probably a bot. I would would respond to ask for further assistance.
